"Bah, enough of the prattlin' about how yer not enough, hon. Yer a big enough hero tae be invited t'this sorta thing, are ye nae? An' yer half m'age!!! Yer doin' amazin', Orla, an' I'm damn'tedly proud o'ye. Nae more o' tha' rubbage about bein' unimportant. Lux got 'er start a' yer age, ye know."

"If they're still 'round, they aren't exactly bein' super public, aye? So tae hell wi' em, if they got complaints. An' if yer gonna be a big hero, a name's importan', mo laochain!!! Nae t'say that Orla ain't a beauty o' one, 'course - didja ken it meant princess?? But still!! Lessee... yer a regenerator, which must mean yer practically invincible!!! Wha' about... Bulletbreaker?! Or maybe somtin' about how unstoppable ye are, like 'Tidal'!!! Might make people think ye have water powers, though... Maybe an animal theme??? I'd say Rhino, bu' I think that's taken up by some vintage shite... Maybe The Train??? Aye, tha' could be spectacular!!! Or-- Or Cosmos!!! 'Cause yer gonna be there, surroundin' yer enemies, undaunted n' undyin', aye?!"
