Remember what I said about silly sarcasm?  That’s an example.  Tell me how you know she has that ability.

>> Who cares about fairies? We’re talking about Neighbours, not fairies.

You’re making yourself look silly now.  It’s one thing to say the Neighbours have some Faerie-like aspects.  It’s another to refuse to discuss them unless I pretend they are not Neighbours but fairies.

Where did we learn that?  And if it were true, why would it matter?
