- In which Nuada approves of proper introductions -
"What do you call yourself?" he asked in the tones of one who will not have his rights disputed by a nameless creature – thing – woman wearing incredibly tattered-what-once-could-have-been-vaguely-considered-as-clothes-and-not-the-empty-bottom-of-a-dirty-old-sack.
Witch bristled.
"Why, what do you call yourself?" Because she had a few ideas, her tone seemed to insinuate.
Nuada growled. His growl commanded an answer. Nuada was very good at commanding things out of people. He instilled the same discipline in all gestures of his body. He was one with the command. When he commanded, things got done and Witch answered:
"I do not call myself much at all and there is no one to call me something else so Witch will do just fine…"
"Good. So be it!" the Prince approved haughtily (truthfully, in his heart of hearts, what Nuada was actually thinking was that as far as names go that was really a rotten one).
"…but you may call me Mighty Witch!"
"…"
If Nuada were a sentence, he'd be a capitalized, bolded negative such as Not Impressed or Not Amused or Definitely Not Amused.
"…no? How 'bout Miss Witch then? But just on special occasions."
Nuada now knew why curiosity killed furry little grooming animals.
A/N: Just a little something that didn't make it in the chapters and Nuada was simply too savvy in the movie not to poke fun at – "demon born of a womb of shadows" and all that.
Review? I would really make me really really happy…really!
