     Whether from gallows humour or the venom in his heart, Hideo slips. A small fang cuts through the guise of his smile. But the least of all he feels is apologetic. There is a mutual sense of otherness here, he hopes, where there is no use in hiding, and the oni can, just for now, fall prey to the indecency of being himself.      He dips his head. “A wonderful title, Niamh–is it of high rank?” He imagines so. Her names are remarkably foreign to him.      “I was… born into it, you could say. The only choice aside from death. I am Hideo, ao majin.”

  “ ban phrionsa means princess, though hardly being of ball gowns and glass slippers i’m sure you see why it’s not often i allow it to be used. “  one thing that grinds her about the modern world is their total lack of respect for royalty. of course, in her hay-day there was reason for respect; she, the sole protector of the greatest warriors, her father, king of all fae. now, she supposes, her kind is nothing short of story books and that’s their end.

   “ hideo, “  she repeats it slowly, nodding as she does. lovely name, not one like any she’s heard before but she’s sure he can’t be too far from home grown.  “ ao maiin??? i’m sorry, kin, i don’t understand. “

i was considering adding a 1916 verse to this blog, along with a cillian murphy face claim within it, but after seeing the reaction to me blogging historical posts relating to what today means for ireland, i might sit that out.

You say you want to be king - so when I burn your kingdom down, I’ll make sure you’re still chained to the throne.

In Ireland, we don’t say ‘I love you’, we say ‘an bhfuil cead agam dul go dtí an leithris’ which means ‘you will forever have my heart’. I think that’s beautiful.

                 hope is the thing with feathers. that perches in the soul.                       and sings the tune without the words.      and never stops at all.                                                                                            h o m e          p r a y e r          g o s p e l          h i s t o r y
