❝Well, what did you expect?❞ ❝Nothing yesterday, nothing the day before.❞ ❝Why? Why does this happen?❞ ❝It’s gluttony! Pure gluttony!❞ ❝Pathetic!❞ ❝We have nothing to fear.❞ ❝I am hard at work on this troublesome inconvenience.❞ ❝We are eternal!❞ ❝now, go.❞ ❝I would not dare question your wisdom, but you know I have found no solution.❞ ❝All our survival is at stake!❞ ❝So, find a solution.❞ ❝Of course, (title of person in power), forgive me.❞ ❝I did not build an empire only to watch it turn to dust.❞ ❝I will find the answer. You will see!❞ ❝I will not fail you!❞ ❝The truth must come to light.❞ ❝The fires of rebellion must be lit, and a new age must begin.❞ ❝Hello, again.❞ ❝How do I know these aren’t poisoned?❞ ❝Well, there’s only one way to find out.❞ ❝I’m sure they wouldn’t mind if a few went missing. After all, they are generous.❞ ❝You have to admit, these do look tasty.❞ ❝I didn’t take anything! See?❞ ❝You don’t have to be rude.❞ ❝Did you see their faces?❞ ❝They never seem to learn.❞ ❝There you are. I was afraid you got lost.❞ ❝You cheated.❞ ❝Do you remember the first time we came up here?❞ ❝I remember everything about that night, I was so nervous.❞ ❝I used every trick I had to try and impress you.❞ ❝You certainly did try.❞ ❝I was distracted. All I could think about was kissing you.❞ ❝I got so sick of waiting, so I kissed you.❞ ❝When one of us fails in our duty, we all fail.❞ ❝I enjoy the capital. I think it possesses a certain malodorous charm.❞ ❝Oh, that mountain air plays havoc with my pustules.❞ ❝Get a move on!❞ ❝It can wait.❞ ❝You’re leaving?❞ ❝That was just a bit of fun.❞ / ❝That’s all it ever is with you.❞ ❝Perhaps one day you’ll prove worthy of taking up my mantle.❞ ❝But, Father!❞ ❝What’s the hold up?❞ ❝What did you see? Make it quick.❞ ❝Since the day I was born, I’ve had to listen to stories of my father. I think it’s past time my father had to listen to a few stories about his son.❞ ❝Settle down.❞ ❝Care to join me?❞ ❝Have you tried these? They’re fantastic.❞ ❝How’s my best friend today?❞ ❝What? What? What do you want?❞ ❝What are you doing? No! Don’t touch that! No, don’t!❞ ❝Yes, you better run, creature.❞ ❝There you are, little sister.❞ ❝You’re going to love this.❞ ❝I have news for you.❞ ❝You’re having fun with me.❞ / ❝You know I never have fun.❞ ❝Oh, this is fantastic!❞ ❝I have so many questions.❞ ❝Why don’t they like questions? How else do we learn?❞ ❝Now I have more questions.❞ ❝Don’t embarrass me this time.❞ ❝You have so much ink on your face.❞ ❝Maybe just one question.❞ ❝Don’t eat too fast. Chew your food.❞ ❝What’s got into you?❞ ❝How about I return when you’re feeling better?❞ ❝We’re going to be late.❞ ❝Mind where you’re going, child!❞ ❝I beg your pardon.❞ ❝Little things have a habit of being stepped on by big things.❞ ❝No need to trouble yourself.❞ ❝Not a moment to lose!❞ ❝What’s that on your cheek?❞ ❝So, you can read?❞ ❝I too am a connoisseur of the written word.❞ ❝I’ve read all about you!❞ ❝I see you’ve done your research.❞ ❝That knowledge is forbidden.❞ ❝But… why?❞ ❝Oh, hush! Such rubbish. You were never beautiful.❞ ❝Your mother looks cross. Not to worry, I will speak with her on your behalf.❞ ❝What happened to not embarrassing me?❞ ❝This time it really wasn’t my fault.❞ ❝You’re just jealous.❞ ❝Every problem obfuscates a solution waiting to be discovered.❞ ❝How very interesting.❞ ❝That’s enough. I said enough! Cease! I command you!❞ ❝You must be careful. I may not always be here to save you.❞ ❝I failed again.❞ ❝Come, we walk. You and I.❞ ❝Perhaps a walk would be agreeable.❞ ❝It’s too much to bear.❞ ❝My every experiment ends in disaster.❞ ❝I will be punished grievously for this failure.❞ ❝You mock me?❞ ❝This happens every time. You say, let’s have an adventure, ________, it’ll be great fun, ________. But it never is.❞ ❝I know what I saw.❞ ❝I think we’re going in circles.❞ ❝Where’s the fun in that?❞ ❝Well, if it’s fun you’re looking for…❞ ❝Is that a good idea?❞ ❝Alright, new plan. You go, and I’ll wait here.❞ ❝I thought I heard something creeping about.❞ ❝Naughty, naughty!❞ ❝This is wrong!❞ ❝It’s the way of things.❞ ❝You look troubled, child.❞ ❝None of it makes sense.❞ ❝I thinkt hat’s enough reading for today.❞ ❝I was still looking at that!❞ ❝Come back! I… I’m not done!❞ ❝Don’t go down this path.❞ ❝I’ll go where I please.❞ ❝Nothing good will come of this.❞ ❝I demand you stop!❞ ❝I demand the truth!❞ ❝No! No, not my books!❞ ❝Mother, I had a vision!❞ ❝You read too many stories.❞ ❝No, this was real! I heard a sound like… like singing, but louder.❞ ❝It’s easier to have nothing when no one depends on you for anything.❞ ❝I will. I mean… I won’t.❞ ❝Let’s see how bad it is.❞ ❝You’re perfectly safe now.❞ ❝No, none of us are safe.❞ ❝A whole new world waits for you.❞ ❝Ow! Contemptible contraption!❞ ❝It smells terrible in here.❞ ❝I’ve never liked this infernal place.❞ ❝Patience. I think you will be most impressed.❞ ❝This had better work.❞ ❝I have solved all our problems.❞ ❝Don’t you ever think of anything but your next meal?❞ ❝I eat when I’m stressed.❞ ❝I have just the knife for such an occasion.❞ ❝Come out. Don’t be shy!❞ ❝Sacrilege!❞ ❝Have you no sense of propriety?❞ ❝I require your assistance.❞ ❝Look. Do you know what this is?❞ ❝No! What have you done?❞ ❝Here is the answer we seek! Here is life everlasting!❞ ❝This is the solution to our problem.❞ ❝You’re in my way!❞ ❝Don’t push me! I want a taste!❞ ❝Don’t drink it all, imbecile!❞ ❝What did I tell you?❞ ❝Tonight, we celebrate! Let us feast! Music! Revelry!❞ ❝Dirty lookie-loo!❞ ❝You’ll die for this!❞
So I was walking thru the woods today for a hike, and I came across a literal fairy house?!?!
I left a peanut butter cracker, and a acorn cap full of some of my juice for the fairy I REALLY HOPE lives there. Such an experience! I'll admit I don't know too much about fae courtesies, so if I messed up and need to go back and make amends, some one pls let me know. I left the treats, cuz I felt bad for stomping thru there, but nothing weird has happened yet so?? Yeah!
She is sooooo CUTE! @zaradae Is she single?!
