21 " Can dragons fly?" The apparent change of subject didn't seem to startle the Mage. " No. Not at all. They do not have wings, ... " If you want a flying spell creature, you need a Roc." " A what?" " A Roc. It is a giant bird," Alain explained. Mari shook her head. " A giant bird. I'm crazy to be listening to this, you know that?" " I have thought…” He fumbled for words, for a moment looking just like any other seventeen-year-old young man. Was that actually embarrassment showing? “You might…be interested…someday….in flying…on a Roc. I mean…with me.” “Are you asking me on a date?” Mari tried desperately not to laugh at his discomfort. “A date on a giant bird?” “Um…I do not know…just something to do…together. That is not dangerous,” Alain added hastily. “Doing something together, that isn’t dangerous?” Mari asked. “That would be a change of pace for us, wouldn’t it? … " Have you ever gone…flying…with a girl before?” Was he blushing? Just the faintest hint of it, but—stars above. She had made a Mage blush. “No,” Alain said. "
22 " She settled into a sitting position, wincing. " Oh, my poor rear end. I hope you appreciate what I went through to get here." Alain watched her anxiously. " You have hurt your..." " My butt. Yeah." She returned his gaze, puzzled. " I'll survive. Why are you blushing?" " Blushing?" His face felt warm. What did that mean?" Yes." Mari laughed. Does talking about my butt embarrass you? I'm sorry. It's nothing special." " I..." His face felt even warmer. " I think it is." " You do, huh? Where have you been all my life?" This time he gave her a mystified look. " I sent almost all of it inside a Mage Guild Hall. The one in Ihris. You know this." Mari laughed again. "

24 " Do you think we’ll be waiting long?” Valkyrie asked,keeping her voice low.“The last time we were in this building, we accused theGrand Mage of being a traitor,” Skulduggery said. “Yes, I thinkwe’ll be waiting long. "

25 " I felt betrayed and absolutely livid, but my body wasn’t smart enough to know it. It had liked the feel of his hands, wanted more of it, wanted it now. It was almost like there were two of me, one who heartily approved of the mage and one who would have dearly loved to see him dead. "

26 " I do not know how you have done this to me. I thought that if I returned the help you had given me that I would be free of the inexplicable influence you have over me. But it does not seem to be working, and you say you cannot break the thread." Mari realized that her mouth had fallen open as she stared at Mage Alain. " Are you serious?" " What would I be if not serious?" " You're saying that I put a spell on you that controls your thoughts and actions?" " Why else am I here?" The Mage asked." Because it was the right thing to do!" " The...what? I am still uncertain about what right thing means—" the trace of puzzlement had retired to him." Listen...Mage Alain! I don't...put spells on boys! Or men! Or anybody! I have no idea why you think that you are thinking about me, but I assure you that it has nothing to do with me thinking about you or making you think that you want to think about me! "
27 " just because a mage wears the black robes does not make him evil. "

28 " Mari stared at him. " Are you telling me that you came to rescue me, following a metaphorical thread through imaginary holes, but now that you're in the same cell with me you can't get us out?" " Yes, that is correct. This one erred." " That one sure did. Now instead of one of us being stuck in here, we're both stuck in here." The Mage gave her a look which actually betrayed a trace of irritation. He must have really been exhausted for such a feeling to show. " I do not have much experience with rescues. Are you always so difficult? "
