" No need to be so kind! Here. "
โ She quickly signed it, upping the flair for it. She of course wrote it in Garlic. Though the interaction had definitely brought a warm feeling to her chest, a smile growing to match.
" Anything else I can help with? "
"Of course Lady Brigidhe!! One moment!"
He runs off.. And in a comical way she literally sees a dust cloud of his outline from how fast he just ran off.. And he's back just as fast with a pen and paper.
"Please..!! I'm SO EXCITED!! I GET ANOTHER AUTOGRAPH FROM A CELTIC HERO!"
"M-Me!? A C-Celt?! I mean.. I-I suppose I do have some ties to it all and all.. ahah.."
Wiggling excitedly as he looked away.
"I'm not as cool as ya.. WAIT! Enough about my boring ass! YER! YER WAYYYYY MORE IMPORTANT!! CAN I GET YER AUTOGRAPH!?"
... Oh, she met a fanboy.
"... Brigidhe..? That name sounds familiar.."
His brain is processing...
"EHH?! AS IN THAT BRIGIDHE?! FROM CELTIC MYTHOS!?"
Too excited now to even try the cheese.
"ARE YA FOR REAL?!"
"Come one, come all! Come get Miss Brigidhe's fresh cheese! Homemade and absolutely heavenly! "
