.Me:'ninGandalf, do you have a moment?'Sh'antor:'I've taken the name Sh'antor. In honor of a certain sulGrahhll. And to answer your question, yes I ha...e a moment. How can I help?'Me:'Sh'antor ... I'm honored. Can you contact one of the human ships and get a shuttle for us to use? I want to get the whole crew together with my daughters, and search hard for Merlin. I'll bet the humans think the search is over.'Sh'antor:'Is it okay to make the request in your name?'Me:'Of course.'...Sh'antor:. " I was looking for a bit more," Steve replied."Well, we got the house next door for $300,000," Adam countered. "You're not going to get many offers better than what we're talking. You're certainly not going to find an offer any time soon. The market is down and your house is set up for a family – a family that really isn't going to be able to pay cash. I doubt they will be willing to agree to your stipulation as readily as we do. You have to consider that."Steve sighed."Do you think you might. I asked Cathy about it.At first, she didn’t respond. When I asked again, she started and raised one eyebrow in question, as if she hadn’t heard me the first time I’d spoken. For the third time, I gestured at the beggars all around, “Where do they get the firewood?”She flashed me a quick smile. “That’s what you’re thinking about after all that’s happened tonight?”I shrugged.“The wood is flotsam washed ashore from Braka, the quality too low to be sold to people with money. It doesn’t burn. For a biologically based method, and I'm not talking about the usual sperm donor method, but something more...direct." I don't follow you," I said.She took a deep breath and said: "I'm talking about having another guy get me pregnant."I glanced up into her face as she said that."Are you serious?" I am," she replied, "but I have to know if YOU would be okay with that." Your suggesting that you fuck some other guy, Nadine," I said."That's right. I am suggesting that. But, before you get all upset.
