HERITA:
… Me time’s running short. ‘Ave to get it right this time.
HERITA:
...There ya are, ‘iding in plain sight ya are.
HERITA:
… Time to come out and play.
HERITA:
…Me li’l friend. The secret you possess.
HERITA:
...That boy and me sis, they’re beginning to suspect. They tried
to get me to tell 'im that I 'ave ya. No worries - I was too clever for 'em.
Made their 'eads spin I did with a bit of racy gossip.
HERITA:
Ahhhh - me precious. Told ya no one would think to look for ya ‘ere.
HERITA:
… Last time it didn't work as I expected - with that bloke, Karanthir
– but then 'e's only 'alf vampire. Must need to be a real one.
HERITA:
... So 'ere we go again, my precious, we'll ‘afta mix up another potion.
It’ll go right this time.
HERITA:
… And then I’ll be what I was before. Strong. Immortal. Unstoppable.
Later …
ESMODONTI:
… That's my good little elfkin, eating up all your dinner.
Ya make your mama so proud.
ESMODONTI:
Mmm, something sure smells fab. Whatcha got there Herita?
HERITA:
It's me tea. I've mixed up a new recipe. Fancy a cup?
ESMODONTI:
I think I will, thanks. I usually don't go for regular drinks. Bein'
a vamp, I'm stuck on a pretty strict liquid diet, if ya know what I mean.
HERITA:
I remember.
ESMODONTI:
Hey that's right, you were a vamp once too – back in the day.
HERITA:
Aye, back in the day.
ESMODONTI:
Ya know, sometimes I think it'd be better for my little elfkin - if his mama
were just an ordinary chic. But - c'est la vie. Guess there’s not much I can
do about it now. Hey - how'd you become human again?
HERITA:
I was a vamp. Me sis was a Seeker. We got in a mortal battle that ended with me trapped in ame coffin. She set it afire and burned me alive. Years later I woke as a ghost - I don’t know ‘ow. Then Grace ‘ad ‘er genie make me ... this.
ESMODONTI:
Woa, that's a real downer, think I'll skip all that. Although the genie
part sounds cool. I’ll hafta think about that. It could work.
ESMODONTI:
...Herita-girl this is like the best tea ever!
HERITA:
There’s plenty more. ‘ere, 'ave another cup.
