Living life will do that for you.

[Rolls eyes.] So I keep hearing.

Is it such a bad thing, living?

Oh yeah, this is really living. It's been real fun so far.

You have no choice in the life you live? Even with rules you can still live.

How’s that advice going for you?

I have lived much longer, done all the growing I can do.

Lucky you.

[Sighs]. Markus wasn’t kidding when he said this wouldn’t get easier.

Why won't it get easier?

You know Mac and his family, you’d know he ---they---wouldn’t just get involved in my business if things weren’t complicated. Daddy isn’t any easier about things either.

And that’s about the size of it.

Involved in your business is one thing. Controlling your life or how you live it is another. What is it about your life that holds such an interest to them? They always struck me as a tight knit bunch.

[Chews on her lip.] I guess if Mac thought about knowing you, you’d be alright to talk to about confidental stuff.

I don’t know who you know, but, I ah…killed Audr. Everyone called him Jimmy and he was Breacan’s brother.

I had to because I didn’t know I was pre-Immie and Audr did. Markus was planning on killing Audr, but Audr didn’t want Markus having his memories and knowing safe personal Information about Audr’s family. He had kids or something to a demi goddess. And yeah, I have a headache trying to figure all that out. So I have Audr’s memories and voice in my head. Markus is helluva pis---annoyed about losing out too.

I promised Audr I wouldn’t kill Markus. I have no idea why. Maybe he made me promise because I think Markus and Fin have some kind of unresolved sexstration thing going on.

Still with me? In short, I’m family, apparently.

You are family because you killed Audr and in Audr's memories are things the family would not want in the hands of Markus. Or head, as it were.

If you are family.....There is nothing in the world that Mac cares for more than his family. All of them I'd say, but I am not as familiar with the others. I imagine this is a difficult life to accept for you, for all immortals it is a struggle at first.....but you are in good hands.

....for as brute as he may be he has a heart and can be a bit of fun.

You took knowing all that pretty well. Most people would be told and look at you like you’re off your rocker. Not that I’ve told anyone else much about it, why would I? How could I?

I guess I have it easy compared to some who likely get thrown into this. I know the rules, I do. I know Mac and the rest of them aren’t too uptight about fun either. It’s really hard been so…so…cautious all the time. I thought this would be freedom but it isn’t, but at least it’s not worse.

Comes with the territory. Mac turns into a swan, love, how could I possibly know that and then look at you as if you've got a screw loose?

As you get more comfortable in this life you've been thrust into I would imagine that the reins will not be so tight. What is it you want to do that they won't let you do?

[Gives a small chuckle.] I so wish I’d seen your face when he told you.

When daddy got us out of Trinidad safely, and I was no longer Markus’s sex toy for hire girl; I thought I could go back to being what I was when they first took me away from the Budapest orphanage. I thought I could be the seventeen year old wanting to meet cute guys…go to college…get married…have kids. I can’t. Now I just don’t know what I want to do.

Nothing compared to my face the first time I actually saw him in that form.

Budapest. I was born there many years ago, before the two cities became one.

Why can you not have those things?

Must’ve matched my face when the old man told me about Mac’s foray on the stage with his penis showing to the whole audience.

You were?! How cool is that. I speak the language, well several different ones, but Hungarian is still my mother tongue.

Immortals can’t have babies; they are sterile because of the quickening they get when they kill another Immortal. And, I don’t know about college and stuff, I mean maybe I could I suppose.

With the horse?

I was. Hungarian is my first language. Though there is nothing quite like cussing someone out in French, it still sounds so pretty.

That is a shame. Though I suppose your life is not an easy one to bring a child into. NYU is a great university from what I have heard.

Oh. God. Yes. I can’t get my head around the mental visual. Big. Bald. Mostly naked with a horse. Oh god.

Someone taught me to speak French, I can’t write the language though. Do you ever go home?

I suppose that is all something I can think about, I have plenty of time.

It is a pretty picture to imagine isn't it? [She laughed.]

Writing it I find to be a much more difficult. I do, quite frequently. There is no place like home. Should you ever like....I would not mind the company.

Well, he is a pretty eyeful…ahem.

I have a bit of an ear for picking up languages so spoken is simple for me. Really? Oh I’d like that. I mean I know daddy would just let me jet about in his plane because someone else is driving, so to speak. But returning home with someone who isn’t supposed to look after me would be nice.

He is.

Should he not like it, given the company you would be keeping, I do have a plane at my disposal as well. I could show you a Budapest you never knew existed.

I don’t know why daddy wouldn’t like you. It isn’t like you can’t look after me if you had to, right? And I would love to be shown Budapest by someone who is familiar with the place, show me things I didn’t know about.

I'm just not part of that world, is all. That is part of what I do, yes. You would be well looked after.

Have a little fun and get out of your box?

[Sorts.] Lucky you.

Fun? What’s that? Do you remember what fun is?

I know how to have fun. I do!
