1 " God is universal," spluttered the priest.The imam nodded strong approval. " There is only one God." " And with their one god Muslims are always causing troubles and provoking riots. The proof of how bad Islam is, is how uncivilized Muslims are,: pronounced the pandit." Says the slave-driver of the cast system," huffed the imam. " Hindus enslave people and worship dressed-up dolls." " They are golden calf lovers. They kneel before the cows," the priest chimed in." While Christians kneel before a white man! They are flunkies of a foreign god. They are nightmare of all nonwhite people. "

2 " Caroline's lips thinned, her face flushed. " My husband, sir, has more secrets in his tiny, insignificant mind than the entire British War Department has had on file since its inception." She huffed with pure, disgusted outrage, lowering her gaze to the floor to murmur, " I'll kill him. "

3 " You look furious,” Pritkin said, watching me.

“I just—I can’t understand not fighting for your life— for what you want. Just giving up—”

A corner of his mouth quirked. “No. You would not understand that. You never stop trying, do you?”

“What else is there?”

“Despair. Hopelessness. Anger. Depression.”

“But those don’t get you anywhere.”

He huffed out something that might have been a laugh, only it didn’t sound happy. “No. They don’t. "

4 " You can't mean to dance with the lass; she's great with child!" Killian smiled broadly at this. " Aye, well, I do indeed intend to dance with her and, aye, I'm aware she carries a child!" He leaned closer to the woman and whispered as he spoke the next bit, " I'm the man who planted the seed!" " Och!" The woman's ruddy colored cheeks darkened further and she huffed aloud, her continued disapproval evident, so Killian baited her and pushed the issue further still." And were all your six daughters a product of immaculate conception, then, Maire, or were they created in the usual way? "

5 " I grabbed back at him just as incautiously with my hand and my magic both, even as he pressed magic on me from his side as well. His breath huffed out sharply, and our workings caught on one another, magic gushing into them. "

6 " Don't you remember what your grandfather used to say? That thing about pots and people?" " That pots were like people," Alex replied flatly, thinking back to his grandfather carrying a tray of wet freshly thrown clay pots across the studio in ancient Athens. " He said you couldn't tell how well they'd turn out until they'd been fired in the kiln." " Well then?" " Well then, what?" muttered Alex. " Some pots shatter in the heat, Aries. I should know. I was the one who had to sweep them up every evening. Sometimes it's better not to go near the fire." " Well, that's the spirit I must say!" huffed Aries. " Thank you very much! "

7 " I huffed out a deep breath. “It’s something huge, isn’t it?” Beezle nodded. “Yup.”
There was a sound of several limbs splashing in the water. “Is it all squishy and tentacly?”
“Yup.”
“I hate my life,” I said, and as I turned I conjured a ball of nightfire and threw it. "

8 " Uri stood staring at him, casually looking Gabe's body up and down before saying with a sly grin, " Well hello to you too, sexy. Does your wife know about this?" Uri then motioned with a dainty fingertip to Gabe's ensemble.Looking down, Gabe quickly realised the robe he had grabbed to cover himself with belonged to Rachel, and much to his dismay, was far too sheer for comfort at the moment. Slipping a well laid hand into place, Gabe huffed and looked at his friend in aggravation, secretly trying not to laugh. "

9 " Can’t you see I’m starving?” asked a very large man in a very loud voice. His words were clipped, desperate and breathless.It was less a question than a demand. Less a shout than a gargle, as though the man spoke through a mouthful of gumballs and old chicken bones. His head was massive; a pregnant watermelon perched neckless atop a VW Bug. His swollen body oozed off the sides of his bed and rippled with aftershocks after each huffed syllable. Two EMT’s in ventilated hazmat suits circumnavigated the obese man like puffy yellow astronauts orbiting a small moon.“Sir, calm down. Please. We’re here to help you. "

10 " For the record, I blame you for this.”

“Me?” huffed Shahin. “This was your idea.”

“Well...you should have talked me out of it! You and your brilliant schemes—bah! This particular detail will not go into our report, understand?”

“Rest assured, you'll find me silent as the grave on this point.”

“And stop using morbid expressions! "

11 " Do I have to get diapers?” he asked.
“Why, did Kade shit himself?” she laughed.
Dylan huffed loudly. Eyebrows knitted together, “DO I NEED TO GET BOTTLES?”
Jen rolled her eyes and shook her head as if he were crazy, “Don’t you think it’s too early to start drinking? You just got up…”
“IS THERE ANYTHING IN YOUR OVEN?”
“I’M NOT BAKING ANYTHING, YOU MORON! WHY ARE YOU YELLING AT ME?”
My God, you have surrounded me with idiots. "

12 " I was only hit on once at the grocery store. I remember it was early one Saturday morning and I was buying my daily bacon, when I got tapped on the shoulder. I turned around and I saw a rather short and very feeble eighty-year-old lady looking up at me. She said in a weak, scratchy voice, " Excuse me, young man, could you reach up and grab some ketchup for me?" Well I'm no dummy. I know when I'm getting hit on. I smiled politely and reached up for the ketchup, knowing full well that she just wanted to get a gander at my derriere. As I handed her the ketchup, she said, " Thank you," like I was some piece of meat, a boy toy, or something. Finally I just blurted out, " Look, I'm married, lady!" She acted all surprised and confused. " Excuse me? I don't understand!" I shook my head with a smirk, raised my left hand, and showed her my wedding ring. " Married!" I loudly told her. " I'm taken!" A stock boy at the end of the aisle looked at us and inquired, " Is everything okay?" " I'm fine," I assured him. " I know how to deal with predators." Well, suddenly this sex-crazed lady got all angry at me. Like I was out of line. She huffed off. " Well, I never!" " And you ain't gonna with me either, " I yelled after her. I have to admit, it was nice to get the attention. "

13 " You’re cute when you're mad." He caressed my bottom lip with the pad of his thumb. I huffed in exasperation. " Is that why you make me mad all the time? "

14 " Very slowly, using only two fingers, Annabeth drew her dagger. Instead of dropping it, she tossed it as far as she could into the water.
Octavian made a squeaking sound. “What was that for? I didn’t say toss it! That could’ve been evidence. Or spoils of war!”
Annabeth tried for a dumb-blonde smile, like: Oh, silly me. Nobody who knew her would have been fooled. But Octavian seemed to buy it. He huffed in exasperation.
“You other two…” He pointed his blade at Hazel and Piper. “Put your weapons on the dock. No funny bus—”
All around the Romans, Charleston Harbor erupted like a Las Vegas fountain putting on a show. When the wall of seawater subsided, the three Romans were in the bay, spluttering and frantically trying to stay afloat in their armor. Percy stood on the dock, holding Annabeth’s dagger.
“You dropped this,” he said, totally poker-faced.
Annabeth threw her arms around him. “I love you!”
“Guys,” Hazel interrupted. She had a little smile on her face. “We need to hurry. "

15 " Syn pulled Furi to his chest. “Furi, I want you to go back through the bar and go wait at my place. I’m going to have a little chat with your ex-husband,” Syn said extra loudly.

Furi huffed in annoyance, “Syn, I took six months of self-defense courses at the YMCA this year. I can fight for myself.”

Syn looked at Furi like he’d lost his damn mind. “At the Y? Well hell, that’s great Furious. If you ever get jumped by the Village People, feel free to pull out those moves. As for now, I want you to take your karate-kicking-YMCA-going-ass back to my apartment,” Syn snarled at Furi, urging him toward the door, having neither the time nor the patience to argue with his ridiculous pride. Thankfully, with one final glare Furi went back into the pub. When Syn turned back, God and Day were looking back and forth between him and his two foes.

“What’s going on here, fellas?” God asked casually, not acknowledging Syn. "
