You can’t do that.”His voice hardened, “I think you will find that I can do whatever I like in my own country. I am the ruler here. If I decide ...o take your daughter into my service, and into my bed, I will do so, whether you like it or not.”“But she’s a virgin,” protested the older woman.“So much the more interesting,” said the Emir, adding more gently, “or are you volunteering to take her place?”This was too much; before anyone else could move Gwenllian stepped forward and slapped him across. "Well... he is pretty good-looking. Or were you too flustered to notice? And I'm not like you, just a lesbian straight out. I like guys too." Is this Hurt Laura day?"Yvette shook her head. "I'm sorry." And the good news?" The good news is that like most gay guys he's a sex maniac and understands what we were doing, and he'll be quiet so I don't 'out' him.

There isn't anything to explain. You and Phillip Marriot can just do whatever the hell you want." Phillip, how?" But when you decide what that is, I want you out of my life. Go away.

He must know all that he can, for knowledge is what fuels us to strive and evolve into the civilization that we behold today. We wish to receive consolation that we are the highest beings on this earth and nothing shall overcome and dominate us for as long as we have that fighting spirit in us. But alas, that ambition of ours shall ultimately lead to our demise. We seek the truths in good and evil, in life and death. We seek answers in places.
