"Hey, Brad, what did you say Jill's full name was?"
"The Valsharess Jaelrenna Val'Shae, Dread Mistress of the Noble House of Val'Shae, Mother of Matron Mothers, Queen of Tears and Ashes. She likes it when you say the whole thing."
"O....kay. Where's she from?"
"The shores of the Sea of Souls beneath the Lower Darkness. It's a ways away, I think it's near New York or something."
"O....kay. How did you two meet?"
"Well, you're not gonna fucking believe this, but when I was 14 I fell in a cave that turned out to be a portal to this other world full of dragons and fairies and all that kinda bullshit and this weird old dude gave me a sword and told me I was the chosen one or something. One thing led to another and I met Jill while I was trying to steal an orb from the Dark Lord to save the kingdom or some kinda stupid bullshit. Still can't believe I got to marry my highschool sweetheart."
"So what does your old lady do for work?"
"She says she 'leads our Noble House in foul and blasphemous rites'; I don't really understand it, I think it's like admin or something. I mostly stay home with the kids since construction's slowed down."
"Brad Jr takes after his mama; grey skin, luminous red eyes, pointy ears. He's smart like her, too; I bet he's gonna be a doctor or a lawyer or a wizard when he grows up."
