[Ella takes a second to prepare herself, taping the screen to pause the movie they keep ignoring. She thinks about something scary, which isn't hard because even if she is twenty two and a college graduate and supposedly grown, she is still actively afraid of the boogeyman and Ella's boogeyman happens to be Bloody Bones, so when she looks up and up at Andrew her bright blue eyes are wide and shot through with fear.]
Oh gosh, it was terrifyin'. We'd split up a bit, to fetch sticks and kindling for the fire and I beat 'im back to the campsite -- leprechauns are quick little buggers, mind -- and I'd just set about fixing the fire when I heard this rattle. It was horrible, I thought he was playin' a prank, the bastard, but when I turned round -- [She reaches out, cold fingers curling around his forearm, her accent tumbling deeper into her Northern brogue from apparent fear.] -- God it was... it was... I can't. And I was just sat there with nothing but a bloody stick to save me and Bloody Bones 'bout to gently flay me alive. And all of a fucking sudden, Andrew comes flying over with a torch, a proper torch, and he fights of Bloody Bones with nothing but, while I'm sittin' there whimpering like a pup during a lightning storm. [She sighs a little, maybe in awe.] Bloody saved me.
[She lets the ending sit a moment. (Perform: acting 18 l o l) And then she cracks a bright, expectant smile, accent returning to normal.] Yeah, I'm brilliant, aren't I?
