The Phoenix in Flight
“Amusement was his foremost emotion at the ebb and flow of their interactions.
Amusement and a catch at the heart very near regret when he observed the gangling red-haired pup. So would his own two have gazed around, had they lived long enough to visit the Mandala—but they had not lived, they’d been murdered, along with their mother, back on Timberwell. And so he moved through his days without ever making plans, with amusement as his goal. If he died here today, it would be nothing more than he ...expected. If he lived, he planned to take away a fortune and spend it all on entertainment when he could. Tomorrow could take care of itself. He would do his best to survive today.

Greywing hunched into herself, her healing wound clearly paining her. Montrose had not missed her long scrutiny of the oblique comtech Lokri.MoreLess
