Nuadah Oisin
(Sounding annoyed at best.)
Who is this?
FEDLIMID CERNUNNOS
The Siren you asked for.
NUADAH OISIN
I know that, she has the look of a Siren after all.
FEDLIMID CERNUNNOS
(Sounding proud.)
She does look charming, doesn't she.
NUADAH OISIN
She looks like something, in any case.
FEDLIMID CERNUNNOS
So, what's the matter?
NUADAH OISIN
I can see the sense in her presence, but who on earth is he?
Nuadah points at Zeke.
Zeke scowls at Nuadah.
FEDLIMID CERNUNNOS
(Looking and sounding nervous.)
Ah, yeah, about that.
NUADAH OISIN
(radiating menacing rays. From what little you can see of his face, he looks annoyed.)
About what?
FEDLIMID CERNUNNOS
You see, she was the only Siren that I could find, the only Siren left inside the city, so I figured that we had to take what we could get, right?
NUADAH OISIN
I suppose so.
FEDLIMID CERNUNNOS
So, this is the only course of action I could take and succeed in my mission, but...
NUADAH OISIN
(Dangerously.)
But what?
FEDLIMID CERNUNNOS
Um, you see.
ZEKE PAYTON
(Interrupting.)
She's mute.
NUADAH OISIN
She's what? Fedlimid, you've screwed up once again!
FEDLIMID CERNUNNOS
It's not my fault!
NUADAH OISIN
(Grumbling to herself)
A mute Siren, what's the use of that?
Tallulah punches Nuadah.
Nuadah's hood falls as he stumbles back, holding onto his cheek.
Tallulah then smacks Felimid on the back of his head.
She then puts her hands on her hips and glares at the Druids.
Zeke chuckles, looking around in satisfaction.
ZEKE PAYTON
She might be a mute Siren, but she can still handle herself fairly well.
NUADAH OISIN
(Glaring at them.)
She still needs you for some reason or another.
ZEKE PAYTON
While it's true that I speak her words for her, she doesn't totally need me. She can make her point clear enough. She just finds it easier to communicate through me.
FEDLIMID CERNUNNOS
So how does that work?
ZEKE PAYTON
We'll be asking the questions now.
NUADAH OISIN
You're not here to ask questions.
ZEKE PAYTON
Do you want to be beaten up by a girl some more?
FEDLIMID CERNUNNOS
(hurridly.)
We'll explain everything.
NUADAH OISIN
Fedlimid! The only thing that you need to know is that you're now working for us.
Zeke tilts his head, as though listening to something.
ZEKE PAYTON
Ah, so that's how it is.
FEDLIMID CERNUNNOS
That's how what is?
ZEKE PAYTON
I know what's going on now. Tallulah figured it all out. You're Druids, aren't you?
NUADAH OISIN
What makes you think that?
ZEKE PAYTON
Beyond the cloaks and the signs all over the place? Who else would want a Siren in this city anymore? The Druids are just as persecuted as the Sirens are.
MABON EIBHEAR steps forward.
Mabon Eibhear
We shall explain everything to them.
NUADAH OISIN
Brother Mabon. Very well, Fedlimid, explain everything to them.
FEDLIMID CERNUNNOS
We are Druids and the government is after us. We want to escape from this place, but, as you should know, it is now illegal to leave the city. The only thing that we are legally allowed to do is to stay and die.
ZEKE PAYTON
So, you need us to help you escape? How is that?
FEDLIMID CERNUNNOS
Sirens can do whatever they want. If you help us escape, we will be able to escape.
ZEKE PAYTON
So you want us to smuggle you out of the country?
FEDLIMID CERNUNNOS
Exactly.
