Rina's story is suddenly interpreted when Grania drops her cup of tea she just got from Thrack. As the tea dribbles from the table to the floor, her wide eyes lock on Rina. Thrack and Sir Puff and Fluff look at her while she sits in silent stupor for a moment. Her shaky finger points to Rina and her words stutter from her lips. "Y-y-y-y-you are... I-I-I thought..."
Not looking back at Grania, Rina smirks a bit when Sir Puff and Fluff squeaks "You okay there, Grania?"
Unable to contain herself anymore, Grania explodes with excitement. "H-how did I not put two and two t-together?! You're not a Rina! You are the fucking Rina! I-I-I studied you in school! I went to your museum over a dozen times! I ate lunch every weekend under your statue in Resistance Memorial Park! I-I mean I thought the s-story sounded a bit familiar, but holy shit!"
Sir Puff and Fluff looks confused. His gaze moves between Rina and Grania as his curiosity asks, "What do you mean she's not a Rina?"
Still obviously excited, Grania blurts out "Rina is the fifth most common name in all of Ireland because of her! I know at least seven grass elementals named Rina so I-I-I thought she was just another one! H-h-how the fuck did I miss it? I can't believe I am having breakfast with the Rina. I must be blind."
Her mind thoroughly blown, Grania voice lowers and her words drift in indistinguishable sounds. Sir Puff and Fluff looks to Rina, still not exactly understanding Grania's reaction. "I knew a bit of the story already, but you never told me you were a famous hero in Ireland."
Rina chuckles a bit and Thrack calmly sips his tea, completely aware of everything. Rina says in a very modest tone for her "I don't really fucking care cause I just fucking wanted revenge so to me I'm not a fucking hero and can I go ahead and finish my fucking awesome ass story now? I mean I didn't even get to the gooey shit yet and that's my favorite part."
Grania shakes her head and comes back into the moment. "Oh, ummm, please do Rina! I am so s-sorry I, ummmm, interrupted you. Please, please continue."
Not liking being viewed as a hero, Rina says rather quietly "I get it and I am flattered and shit and now you know how I got my kick ass name and you should hear how the fucking dragon shit went down..."
