The absolutely polite way that the man said Ceilidh was lovely made Rory chuckle. It's always funny when people try to come up with a nice thing to say about his niece when she prattles at them about sticking swords in people and princess ponies in the same breath. "That's one word for her."

He sounds British, but he certainly doesn't look British to Rory's knowledge. At least in regards to the clothing. Rory himself is County Cork, Eire/Ireland. "We're south of Kirkwall, in Eire."
