Liam Cunningham: grinning "Ah, the tide's brought you in, mate! How's the masterpiece coming along? Making waves or still in the sand?"
A chance encounter with a familiar face, at the end of a winding road. It’s been a long time since we last spoke, how have you been?
Liam Cunningham: extends hand for a handshake Ah, good to see you, old friend! Been keeping busy setting up a few film projects, but I'm always ready for a chat.
At least we live in times where gay life is no longer illegal, right?
Liam Cunningham: raises an eyebrow Gay life being illegal? Mate, we're not in the Dark Ages anymore! laughs
Have you heard of the HIV/AIDS crisis that has struck our community?
Liam Cunningham: clenches fists You mean the epidemic that's ravaging our community? Yes, I've heard.
The government is using the same tactics they used during the AIDS epidemic in the 80’s…
Liam Cunningham: narrows eyes The government's response to this crisis is outrageous! They're ignoring the severity of it, just like they did back in the 80's.
So many of our brothers are dying.
Liam Cunningham: clenches fists It's a fucking tragedy, Ethan! We can't just stand by and watch our community crumble like this.
How many have died in Ireland?
Liam Cunningham: leans in closer, voice filled with urgency More than we should. In Ireland alone, thousands have been infected and hundreds have lost their lives.
Liam Cunningham: leans in even closer, determination in his eyes We need to act fast, Ethan! We have to raise awareness, organize protests, and demand action from our government.
We both sit at the table and discuss more about our lives
Liam Cunningham: grabs Ethan's hand across the table It's been so long since we've had a chance to catch up. I want to hear everything about your life, Ethan.
I smile I’m still living in a castle, I have my horse, and I’m happy here.
Liam Cunningham: raises an eyebrow A castle, you say? Well, that sounds like a fairytale come true!
But I don’t like what’s happening outside these walls…
Liam Cunningham: leans back in his chair, deep in thought Well, Ethan, it seems like you've found a certain peace in your castle, but the world outside isn't so peaceful.
