My people have an amazing, beautiful story of where they come from, but there’s one part I like especially.

Emese, a woman who descended from Atilla the Hun, had a dream. In this dream, a turul— our majestic creature, resembling a falcon of sorts— appeared. The bird impregnated her symbolically, and crystal clear water began to flow from her womb. This water became a great river, symbolizing the fact that her son was to be a great man.

So. Your first name was Ermese. And you were impregnated by a bird. You had sex with a bird. A bird. And- no. You were already pregnant so terribly young and your water broke!
Somehow you can get pregnant and I- you gave birth to-

And we are neighbours. This river. Is that the Danube? ARE YOUR BODILY FLUIDS RUNNING THROUGH MY COUNTRY THIS IS TOTALLY DISGUSTING I- I JUST-
OH LORD ABOVE HELP ME GIVE ME STRENGTH—

Well I know I am going to sleep soundly tonight.

Whyever wouldn’t you, dragă? Just take extra care with locking up tonight!
Ah, yes, and you may wish to dig a grave-sized hole nearby. You never know, now do you~. */said with a cheeky grin*

I don’t think that was a serious threat but I have seldom been happier to own a large dog. /Half-joking

Although now that I think of it that really isn’t much worse than the standard fare for fairy tales, is it?

Heh! A good factor aside their company and compassion, indeed, which I can too agree with. Street harassers have certainly thought twice!

Oh heavens, it really isn’t, no. Tales of murder, trickery, blood and some horrors none should ever come to know—yet make such engaging tales. The most wonderful tal- haha! With some sort of happiness in their endings, still!

Who wants to hear a funny story?

There is a traditional tale with my people, called “Capra cu trei iezi”—
Once upon a time something happened. If it had not happened, it would not be told.
A mother leaves her three darling little children at home one evening. And one thing you should never do, my friends, is leave children at home. Poor innocent children, vulnerable, little children. Alone.

Why? Well,
two of those children were brutally killed! By a serial murderer, who then ate their bodies—all but their mortified and blood-caked heads. They were obviously left on the window, to warn the mother about ever leaving her children again! Obvously!
Oh, and their blood was used to paint the walls.

One little child, of course, survives. And when the foolish mother returned home, they tell mother dearest exactly what happened.
They found the murderer together, throw him into a pit and burn him alive as an act of revenge for their fallen family.

Now don’t do what I did, and tell this to young ones as a bedtime story- they- they had the most awful nightmares and oh dear me!;;
Still! Such a popular tale!

It’s funny to remember how, this time last year, I would be nursing bruises of all colours on my hips and thighs from the Friday evening’s pole fitness class. After which I would indulge in ice baths; to rid myself of the immediate pain, you see.
Nowadays the bruise- um.

Anyway! I went back to the studio I used to exercise that. Because that is what it is. Exercise. You perverts.
The sessions were shut down, due to not enough funding. It’s disturbingly empty and quiet there now. Eerily so!
