--City, I don't mean to distract from your winter festivity preparations for no good reason, if you observe any that happen to occur around this time of year, and I'll leave you in peace to continue them in a minute, but I just have to say that attempting to observe the stopping of the wheel without any fellow kithain to join me makes it--well, I

How many?

[quiesquietis]

How many kithain?

[byweavinglives]

Yes.

[quiesquietis]

It's--I didn't articulate myself well, I think, it's not precisely a ritual I need other fae to help me celebrate. I could very well not observe it at all. I'm honestly not sure what came over me to complain about it, today I've felt...very odd.

[wind_magic]

What's a kithain?

[quiesquietis]

Oh, yes--a fairy changeling, it's how we refer to ourselves.

[wind_magic]

Oh...So you're a type of fairy? That's sort of interesting.

[quiesquietis]

Yes, it is, or I'd flatter myself to think so. A sluagh, if that means...anything, it's just a kind. My name is Charlotte or Philomena, whichever you like, and do you mind if I ask after yours?

[quiesquietis]

[worksmart]

Oh, you're fae.

[A year and a half ago, this would have surprised him.]

I don't recognise your term. All the others I know.

[quiesquietis]

Oh, that's wonderful, I hate having to explain sluagh, it always puts us in such a bad light. Now you know the bad light we're in right away, which is convenient.

Stopping of the wheel?

[quiesquietis]

Yule is the time of year when the world stops turning, or so some people would tell you. Of course it doesn't really, but we pretend.
