>I'm out of state for the summer. Is the day he "gave as good as [he] >got" Ch. 16 of Jhereg? No, that doesn't make sense... >-Max My bad. It's in the early portion of _Jhereg_, not the later portion. Since we don't seem to have any newbies about lately, I'll just dispense with the obtusity. (Yay for made-up words!) "[Kiera] moved with ease and grace, almost reminiscent of Mario. She flowed up to me and gave me a kiss that would have made Cawti jealous if she were the jealous type. I gave as good as I got, and pulled up a chair for her." Gotta wonder how Vlad feels about that now. Or the adolescent fantasies he no doubt had about Kiera. For that matter, what does the above passage suggest about Sethra's tastes? Maybe there's more than one reason why she's such good friends with Vlad...
