[With that out of the way Lorien returns to her conversation with Dido.]
"Well some people have squids in their eyes if they haven't noticed it before. I mean I get science that's so crazy its almost magic, but when people just come up with half-assed bullcrap because they just don't wanna admit how much they don't know and how they just can't know? Its kind of a thing."
[With that she takes another chug of her soda, covering her mouth to muffle a sudden belch. Siad hand promptly went to her nose.]

"Aaaand eternal. So I stocked up on all sorts of ways. I've got some Japanese paper wards, a bunch of seeds for plants that repulse that stuff, amulets... course if all else fails protective wards done up with salt are a good temporary measure. Its good if you go up against vampires too. Just chuck it at the floor and they'll be stuck counting that stuff for ages!"
