While Leo fussed over his helm controls, Hazel and Frank relayed the story of the fish-centaurs and their training camp. 'Incredible,' Jason said. 'These are really good brownies.' 'That's your only comment?' Piper demanded. He looked surprised. 'What? I heard the story. Fish-centaurs. Merpeople. Letter of intro to the Tiber River god. Got it.

Hazel and Piper exchanged a look of total exasperation. Boys. ↗

Really, Bob? Really?" asked the woman. "You think the best course of action is to spend an entire week's salary on food tickets? That's what you think? Because you want to hear gyros and fried cheesecake for the rest of the week? Not that I should be surprised. It's just the kind of harebrained thing you'd do." "Oh yeah, Sharon. Lay it on. Lay in on think. Right here in public where everyone can see!" The man, who was only a couple feet from me, lifted his arms and moved in a circle. "Did anyone not hear my lovely wife berating me? ↗

Well, good afternoon, sunshine. How are you feeling?" "Like something the cat dragged in, then dragged back outside to leave in the rain, and mud, then the lightning hit it, and burned it, and the cat came back to tear it into pieces, before burying it. ↗
