It doesn't matter. What matters is that the only person other than some creepy, privacy-invading computer program who would know that this would piss me off is my sister, and there's no way she would do that to me.

My... lover was killed not long before I got here. He was a selkie... a fae with a human form who could transform into a seal as long as they had their enchanted sealskin.
