“So?” said the wilfully ignorant specimen from Greater Deregulation (Upper West). “That don’t mean we can’t have a good time. All you gotta do, honey, is shut up, put out, and pretend to enjoy it.”
Shayde turned a pleading gaze to Rael, who was currently attempting to pretend he was a ghost only she could see. “Can I shred him now? Please?”

“Tell ye woh, pal,” she said in the smooth tones of impending doom. Anyone Shayde called ‘pal’ was usually in for a brief and painful lesson about life. “You go find a wee phenomenon we have here called The Glunk. If ye can clean all'a that up wi'out any property damage, I’ll let ye take me out tae dinner.”
The deplorable specimen grinned. “I knew you couldn’t resist my charms, darling.”
Shayde was grinning too. Especially when he was leaving. “Good riddance tae bad rubbish.”
