There are fireflies following me. It's becoming slightly irritating. There are... nearly thirty of them.

They move about constantly so I can't count them accurately.

Is there any way to get rid of these things?

Why, the old tales of unicorns approaching pure maidens. Added with the fact that some had finally taken the plunge and found their unicorns vanishing into thin air were but two of many clues pointing toward their conditional appearance.

'Tis a shame, really. Powdered or whole, their horns have endless benefits.

That would certainly help in learning about them.

I'm not sure any unicorn would appreciate losing their horn.

This is true.

[Pause. Perhaps it's time to hit the books and see of any firefly symbolism. Until then...]

But they would be of a benefit to many, you see! Would a unicorn not be thankful of its sacrifice instead of following at the heels of a "maiden"?

I'd prefer to believe they followed maidens because they liked to. Their horn though, that's what makes them exactly what they are.

[Easily read in her words is: They're so lovely, why would anyone want to do that to them? :( ]

What better symbol is there to personify their purity than a horse with an amusingly rude shape sticking from their heads!

[It takes her five minutes or so to reply.]

I'm sure it's not meant to be thought of that way!

Oh, but what if it was? Following the maidens would make far more sense, wouldn't you say?

[And this time, written slowly and reluctantly.]

Yes, I guess it would make sense.
