in the wee small hours in the lounge on the Human Deck of the vast starliner.....some elder race folk came slumming down from the upper reaches......loud and flashy Dasanei, with their tall stature and golden skin, along with a richly robed Fergal high lord, and a striking beauty of a Sidhe lady.....they had a round, and then decided to try their hand at the pool tables, which are another Human novelty.....the Sidhe was odd girl out from the foursome at the game table, so she stayed at her barstool for another martini.....you know the Sidhe, also called the Fae or Fairy by some ....they look sort of like old Star Trek Vulcans, but don't let them hear you call them that....the actual Vulcans are short fat warty clients of the Greater Trollish Holding....
"Well, Hue-mon" she says to me "I have read that people on your planet think that my kind resemble a race from your legends, who lived close by your reality, sometimes stealing babies, or passing off 'fairy gold', or playing other tricks?" She smiled sweetly, batting those strange lashless eyelids....
"Yes" I brazenly insinuated "Some even say that our two species have interbred from time to time....in the far ancient past, I mean..."
"Would such a thing be possible in this present age, do you imagine?" she purred....
