1 " You son of a Carelian slimehog! I didn't realize what was happening before, that you KNEW that many shots would kill you. Well, listen to this, my fine flashbow warrior. Committing suiside on your own is one thing, but if you think I'm going to knowingly HELP you do it, you are demented."Dax blinked. "I went through your dying once; I'll be damned to Hades if I'll do it again. So you can just get yourself moving, oh infamous skypirate. And you'd better do it soon, or I'll toast your ass with a disrupter for encouragement!"There was a long silent moment. Then, incredibly, Dax laughed.

Dare dropped his cup, and it shattered on the table as his head snapped around to his mate."I think the new prince of Trios wants to join us for this meal," Shaylah said a little breathlessly.Drake paled. "Oh, God.""No one to blame but yourself," Dax said to him with a grin."Don't get brassy, Defense Minister Silverbrake," Califa said, setting down her own cup to help Shaylah rise. "You don't want to give him any smart remarks to use on you later.""To use on me?" Dax echoed, puzzled. Then, as her meaning hit, his eyes widened and he gaped at her. "Oh God."[...]"And I'll be there, my friend," Dare teased Dax, "rest assured. "
