Síofra Cathasaigh finally opened her eyes after a night of restful slumber. Aside from the rhythmic sound of waves crashing against the ship's body and some seagulls crying in the distance, only silence could be heard. And since any seasoned pirate's ears blocked out noise of this kind...

Don't get me wrong, Aoife...
She's nervous around me. Not the oh-my-god-there's-a-psycho-call-the-police type of nervousness, more like slight confusion. A small part of her probably remembers me, Delilah realized with a tinge of flattery. When you lived for so long, you naturally learned how to pick up on those little cues...
Here, have a pronunciation guide:

Haha, that's not actually true, I was just poking fun at the fact that my language is notoriously ridiculous, which is one of reasons why nobody wants to live there. Aside from many words being nigh-unpronounceable, it...
Good luck, it's our immigration policy that only those who can say: "Blb vlk pln žbrnd zdrhl hrd z mlh Brd skrz vrh Smrk v čtvrť srn Krč" without stuttering can move here. Yes, that's an actual sentence, not random gibberish. It means something like "A stupid wolf which had eaten a lot of mash...
Alright, so this isn't a law - rather it's a lack of a law - but we have no legislation against cold weapons. You can walk around with a freaking claymore right under a policeman's nose and he can't say anything to you. I've actually seen some people do it and I'm considering buying a fine sword...
"Really?" Lillian raised her eyebrow in what could only be described as mistrust when Satan actually began defending human educational system. Unlike the vast majority of her classmates, she didn't necessarily hate school. There were individual subjects which occasionally became targets of her...
"Good, I'm glad I haven't ruined my first impression by committing a grave sin against etiquette," Catriona smiled brightly at the two guys. In reality, she didn't particularly care whether her actions offended them or not, but pretending it concerned her couldn't hurt. Just like food and...
Absurdity of the whole situation finally set in as she watched her new friend make himself comfortable on the sofa matter-of-factly, so confident in his movements as if he'd known this place for years. Lillian pinched herself discretely in order to see that this wasn't just an especially...
Only one good thing? There are too many to choose!
1. I have a new job which I have zero practical experience in. It's simultaneous interpreting, basically now I'm one of those chicks who do voice-overs in real time for important conferences and similar events. It's really difficult because...
...some perks, like having all the time in the world to find reliable friends. "Where are you and where do you need to go? I'll arrange everything."

Delilah was sitting at a table in a local café, occasionally sipping her latte and letting her fingers run across the keyboard like those...
"Yeah, definitely, I see why some individuals might have a problem with your identity." 'Devil' was theoretically just a word composed of five letters, however it held a staggering power over people, especially when it came to the residents of this city. A mere utterance of those two syllables...
...mean it. The boy rose from the ground, dusted his hopelessly dirty pants off and grabbed his sword again. "So, care to show me how it's done?"

Two hours later, the two were finally done with their training for today. Catriona had just finished her bath, so she wore a simple tunic...
"I'm not upset," muttered the clearly upset girl, "I was just trying to shed some light on my motivations. That's a phenomenon which typically occurs when you laugh in someone's face for their beliefs." The insistence on justifying her might be a bit childish, especially in the context of her...
"Is this how you treat potential customers? Lovely. I'd recommend you to all my friends if I had any," Lillian remarked as she put her hands on her hips, attempting to conceal her embarrassment in sarcasm. It didn't work out that well, mainly because her porcelain-like complexion highlighted...
I'm going to regret this very soon, aren't I? flashed through her mind as the man who had introduced himself as Mr. Lucien stretched his hand, smiling like a shark sensing blood in the water. Okay, sharks obviously didn't smile because their facial structure didn't allow it, but Lillian figured...
"Yeah, right. It was silly of me to expect anything else, but I guess it's nice of you to value your customers' privacy."
One thing was absolutely certain. No matter how you looked it, the best course of action would be to say something along the lines of "I'm not interested," hang up the...
Lila didn't know what she had expected to see from behind the curtain, but certainly not... well, this. Her jaw almost dropped. Saying that the man standing in the street and waving at her shamelessly couldn't pass for a local would have been an understatement. People came in many flavors here...
