To Whom It May Concern:

What the Diawl are you playing at?

Because it isn't funny.

And I haven't the time for it.

Well, well! A charming new addition to our little group, is it? Such a pleasure.

A pleasure indeed. The Callista Lovelace, if I'm not mistaken. In a club for divinities and legends. I shouldn't be surprised at all.

Quite so. Do you wish to guess my real name, or shall I just tell you?

Well, can't be Rhiannon or anyone else from the Isles, or people wouldn't look so glad to see me.

I've been briefed that the Greeks have us outnumbered... Aphrodite, perhaps?

As smart as you are handsome. You live up to your reputation.

I try to live up to the right ones, sometimes.

Adam Parry. Got an orchard outside Cardiff, though you've quite possibly heard by this point.

Indeed. And what is it you grow there, pet?

Apples, mostly. Bit of an Avalon pun there, I realized once my memories came back. The cosmos does seem to love a good joke.

Nothing wrong with apples. I happen to have a bit of a fondness for them myself.

Almost wish I could get one engraved for you...

Well, I already have one inscribed "To The Fairest." But, you're sweet to offer.

That's wonderful. Alas, swords are not left lying about in anvils and lakes anymore. I had to work with quarterstaffs at the rec center.

More's the pity, that. Of course, I'm sure if you really wanted to, you could find a blade. Almost too bad my former husband hasn't shown his face yet. He had quite the talent for weaponry. Still, I have to admit, there's a certain relief in not having a husband around.

I can understand. As much as I'd want more of the court around, it's admittedly simpler in some ways that our little band does not include my wife. Or my best friend. Or my sister.

Ah, yes. Quite the little tangled knot that was. But, you have a chance to rewrite all that now.

But you'd know all about that sort of thing, being Greek. Weren't you Zeus's great-aunt and daughter-in-law at the same time?

Yes... there are some respects where fresh starts are good.

Aunt and daughter-in-law--his father was my older brother--but yes. We have a complex family, no doubt about that.

I do hope you make the most of your new start.

Ah, my mistake. And I got good O-levels in classics, too.

Thank you. I hope so as well.

Don't worry about it, pet. As I said, it's complex. Even we don't bother with labels half the time.

Best of luck. ♥
