“I don’t know what a shopping spree is,” Sommi said.
“Girl! Wait, sorry Sommi, I never thought to ask…” I said feeling embarrassed.
“Either, neither; the Mnio aren’t really tied down to any gender expression in particular, me included,” Sommi explained.

#FaveLineFriday
I’ve been sitting on this one since Tuesday. I can’t read it without laughing.
“The real scary thought, here, was that they may have been moving very silently, like an owl or a ninja.”
And i guess i have a bonus one which I’ll thread

“An’ she did entrust me with keeping an eye on the conductor.”
“Ah yes.” Ruth looked down at her tablet. “Miryam had mentioned she regrets that specific decision. She has also mentioned that you are not to escort the conductor and kaelin alone without an escort of your own.”
“What? The hell kinda sense does that make?” Reuben protested. “Is it because of that one time I set fire to the food hall?”
Wasn’t he a water dragon? In a city made of white marble, a notoriously non-flammable substance?
“Ain’t that much different than keepin’ Sanctuary a secret,” Reuben whined. “What’re y’all so afraid of, anyway? No offense to His Radiance, but does he look like the type of guy to be thinkin’ trouble’s a fine idea?”
All eyes turned to Mick, who pinned back his ears and sank further into the now-soapy water.
“You may have a point,” Ruth said as she turned her head to Reuben.
Oh, wow.
Two things I like about this chapter:
1. It's a lighter chapter than we've had lately, which means more banter and humor, which means it's *fun*.
2. Reuben.
Two snips for funsies, before I leave for the day:

Your spouse has excellent taste! It's one of my favorites too. :D
Also, totally understandable! Love making pies, though I haven't made the crust from scratch, which I'm assuming you're doing, now that you know how to laminate dough. ;) Good luck! What sort of pie are we talking?

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World - "Tea Scene"

(For the record, yes, this is nearly all of my tea. There are two bags of loose leaf not here, but it's because they're in bags labeled "coffee." :V
I nearly have enough types of tea to do this: youtu.be/70qsB_gW4G4?... )

Beenjamin (a plush bee) pokes his head out from behind a whole collection of tea boxes and bags of loose leaf tea (and one tall jar of honey).

Stream starts at 8:30 AM ET. Sprints start at 9.

#FaveLineFriday Another busy day, so hoping to catch up when I can. :'D In the meantime, favorite line? Whenever Mick is protective of Eleanor.
As for the bonus: Read everything out loud. You'll catch more if you can hear yourself try to tackle awkward bits. ;)

This excerpt for #FaveLineFriday comes from The Eisteddfod (Raven & Bear: 6). I won't spoil the context but I think the sentiment of this scene is very obvious and I'm very happy with how it turned out. This story has so much cool stuff!
Questions Welcome!

Hi! I'm a little late on #FaveLineFriday but this is what I've got. A little bit of lore on Queen Ifon and the various kingdoms. This excerpt comes from The Eisteddfod (Raven & Bear: 6).
I love Pokemon and I've thought about this already!

Line: His words broke through the vision, painting the sky a stormy gray again.
For Pokemon Starters, Emily would always pick water. I feel like she'd like mudkip best.

The actual fave line here sounds so peaceful! (But also? I love the way dragons are described here, with rippling body language and immortality and everything. Like, they *sound* very ethereal!)
Also, yesssss to rattata starters. 8) Dragonite's a good choice too!

A scene from the #dragon novel with my favorite line highlighted at the end. Cal, Darius, and Drake have a chat.
Bonus Q: I haven't played Pokemon in AGES. I'll have to go with Dragonite. But when I was a trainer, I had a badass Rattata.
