"I'm sure you do," Rus concedes magnanimously (also in keeping with the conversation), "but what about your tracking skills? Can you when someone has come into the room merely by their scent?" He waggles his eyebrows. "Yet!" he agrees. "You've never seen yourself."
"I'd appreciate that," Rus tells him gratefully. He's quite serious about it. "I don't know really. Bella didn't care for pearls," he adds sadly.
"And that's supposed to lull me to sleep?! You do have the most outrageous ideas sometimes!"
"Being bitten freed him in a way. He never should have been shunned like that. It only made things worse than anyone could imagine."
"Oh better," Rus tells him airily, taking the dice and rolling a nine. He hits the outer edge of the six, but then completely misses the board with the other two darts. "Oops," he says, blinking furiously. "Slipped." T1 looks worried and Bud and Lou look vaguely disgusted.
Never saw that one. I'm surprised there wasn't some sort of copyright violation. ;)
