Och! I don't understand anythin'! "Fictional worlds"? "Fake people"? "Nothin' but stories?" It makes no sense! As real as th'sky bein' blue, Scotland is. Sure, a legend or two may have been a wee bit exaggerated, but this? This seems like th'unreal thing, not th'other way around!

It's not fair. I refuse t'believe any of this nonsense.

...So, if anyone could be so kind as t'point me t'the exit, I'd be much obliged.

...How have ye managed t'get away with that?

No girls in Neverland. Except for mermaids and pixies. And they don't count.

If there are no girls there, how are people born?

[Mermaids and pixies sound dangerous, but they definitely spark her interest.]

And what other sorts of fantastical creatures are there?

Nobody's born in Never-land, you get taken there!

...How are people born other places? What do girls have to do with it?

I suppose that explains a thing or two.

Well, that's somethin' only parents can teach about. It's a universal rule.

[Okay, not really, but she's not about to have that sort of talk with a strange boy whom she doesn't even know.]

I don't have parents.

[Sullen.]

[Oops...]

W-well, I guess ye don't need t'know about babies then.

[She laughs nervously, though the guilt is quickly settling in.]

I'm sorry. About your parents, that is.

I might need to. I'm looking for more Lost Boys.


Forget about it. Better off without 'em.

Ye should probably look into adoptin', seein' as you'd have t'wait a good sum of years before a baby is ready t'do anythin'. I would know; I've got three brothers, and I was there th'day they were born, and only in th'past year have they become young devils.

...Okay, so maybe not all parents have their child's interests in mind, but don't ye at least miss one of them? Just a wee bit?

When parents leave a baby alone for seven days, that's when he becomes a Lost Boy.

I don't see how a parent could do that t'a wee babby, much less how a babby survives alone for a week.

Unless... Well, let's not get int'a that. [Unless the parents are dear or abandoned the child. It's not a thought Merida much cares for, not when it's all to easy to imagine the "what ifs" with her own family.]
