You know, medieval, the Middle Ages, circa CE 600 to CE 1485. The time between the collapse of the Roman Empire and the ascension of Henry VII to the throne of England.

[ Kami flounders a bit hopelessly. How does anyone not know what "medieval" means - unless she's actually medieval herself, and not some kind of performer or revivalist who merely likes the aesthetic of stays and princess gowns. ]

Then we are oh-for-two, because I have never in my life heard of any...Aegon, was that it?

[ She rubs at her head, considering. Everyone knows who the Romans were, even Sobo, who grew up in a country the Romans never touched. ]

But you sound English. Pinch me, won't you?

So I can be sure I'm not hallucinating this entire out of reality experience.

[ holding out her arm helpfully ]

Go on, do it, I need to be sure I'm not crazy.

[ The pinch hurts like a pinch should, and Kami feels a tremble of relief. Sometimes she has that niggling fear in the back of her mind, that maybe Jared is real but maybe Kami is still crazy after all. You can't live with someone else in your head and in your heart for seventeen years without it twisting you up a little inside. She'd thought - okay, magic is real, hyakume and wood spirits and sorcerers are real, so why not fairies? If one story is real, surely a hundred must be.

But other...other realms, other worlds, other places entirely - and that's what this girl Alayne and the things she knows and the things she doesn't means - that's something else. It could the kind of story a person would make up all on their own, if a person is crazy enough. ]

Maybe we are. From what I remember of fairytales, the fae didn't exactly inspire a whole lot of mental stability in the people they touched.
