Indeed.
What does happen when ... Rua, Sass, and Alianora in one of her ... umm ... moods ... come face to face with a situation that demands their attention in a most emphatic way?
Say, for example, they're visiting someone from a very different culture from theirs, where the only thing that matters is conformity.
Rua runs afoul of the status quo, Sass jumps in to exacerbate everything by taking Rua's unintentional faux pas and exaggerating it to emphasize how ridiculous the situation is, which lands her and Rua both deep in the soup and enrages Alianora's sense of justice, sending her into a word-flinging rage of - well - of Alianora proportions.
Keep in mind that the rest of the Characters are standing by, half amused and half concerned, holding their peace for the time being.
Sass and Rua are perhaps the most powerful of a very powerful Cast of Characters and mild-mannered Alianora is infamous for her infrequent but extremely potent 'temper'.
Yep.
No wonder everyone else is kind of keeping their distance for the moment. If these three can't handle whatever it might be, which is unlikely, they're right nearby - but not too close.
*laughing*
Sometimes stories pop up out of the strangest of places.
Let's just hope MammTwo stays in the wings, with the Sidhe of the Ages, and doesn't ... umm ... join forces with Alia. What a whopping pair the two of them would be. The rest of them would say, 'Uh-oh' and step back another pace or two but be rattling their swords against their shields, yep.
I tell ya.
Finding humor in truly ridiculous situations can be a life-saver.
Sometimes a person just has to shake their head and sigh.
