Okay, so, I am re-reading "The White Dragon," which we all know is by Anne McCaffrey, creator of this beautful world. I have come to a very funny part, and you guys deserve to have the laugh I got out of it too:
"He already has," Menolly remarked, indicating the Threadscore. "Now shut your mouth and let the man eat."
"Man?" Mirrim's voice took a derisive swoop and she gave Jaxom a scathing glance.
Menolly made an exasperated sound. "If Path doesn't fly soon, Mirrim, you're not going to be on terms with anyone!"
Surprised, Jaxom looked at Mirrim, who was flushing deeply red.
"Oh ho, Path's ready to be flown! That'll sort out some of your high-headed notions." He couldn't resist crowing at her dismay. "Has Path shown a preference? Ha! Look at her blush! Never thought I'd see the day you'd lose the use of your tongue! And you'll be losing something more soon. I hope it's the wildest flight they've had at Benden since Mnementh first flew Ramoth!"
How bout that! Of course, Mirrim comes back with something stupid about Ruth, but whatever. She's an idiot. Anyway, now back to copyright stuff so we don't get sued.
