I can make some calls. There is a guy. Dagfinn Heyerdahl. He used to be with Norse Heritage Foundation."
Norse Heritage Foundation wasn't so much about heritage as it was about viking, in the most cliché sense of the world. They drank huge quantities of beer, they brawled, and they wore horned helmets despite all historical evidence to the contrary.
"Used to be?" Curran asked.
"They kicked him out for being drunk and violent."
Curran blinked. "The Norse Heritage?"
"Mhm."
"Don't you have to be drunk and violent just to get in?" he asked. "Just how disorderly did he get?

Curran's face turned carefully blank. "Yes, I did."
"Did you do anything to scare him?"
"I was perfectly friendly."
"Mhm." Please continue with your nice story. Non-judgemental.
"He was putting things into the mailbox. I was passing by and I said, 'Hello, nice night.' And then I smiled. He jumped into his truck and slammed the door."
"Rude!" Julie volunteered.
"I let it pass," Curran said. "We're new to the neighborhood."
The former Beast Lord, a kind and magnanimous neighbor. "So you sneaked up behind him, startled him by speaking, and when he turned around and saw a six-hundred pound talking lion, you showed him your teeth?"

“I think you’re about to tell me.” Mad Rogan leaned forward with rapt attention.
“Your problem is that nobody ever tells you no. You think you can do whatever you want, enter wherever you want . . .”
“Seduce whoever we want.” He grinned, a wicked, wolfish smile.
Oh no, we are not veering off the highway onto that road. “You play with people’s lives. When cops show up, you wave your hand and make them go away. Because you are Primes and the rest of us are, apparently, nothing.”
“Mhm,” he said. “The irony of this is so rich, it’s simply delicious.”
“I don’t see what’s so ironic about it.”
“I’d tell you, but it would ruin the fun.”
“Could you be more smug?”
He leaned on his elbow. “Possibly. I see you liked the flowers.”

You do remember the lessons, however. Rome—corrupt, rich, and disorganized, a republic that ruled the world yet couldn’t rule itself. Its senators fighting for power in vicious political squabbles; the policies of compromise forgotten in favor of personal gain. Its armies pledging their loyalty to their generals rather than to the republic they were meant to serve. Its population torn between the Optimates, supporting the traditional rule, and the Populares, playing for the favor of the unwashed mass of plebs. Mob violence, treachery, murder.” “Mhm.

His eyes told me he understood. This could be the last time we spoke to each other. “I’m sorry about our fight.” “I forgive you,” I told him, and sliced through the first line. The keris severed it in one short cut. It blinked and vanished. “You just don’t understand what it’s like not to be pretty. It’s because you’ve always been hot.” He coughed. “Hot?” “Mhm.” “Have you ever looked at me?” “I have. I look at you all the time, Jim.” I severed the second line. It disappeared.

Winter's coming in the air tonight
Feel it blowing off the park
But that don't mean that we can't take a ride
60 miles to Seaside Heights
I do the same old thing again, because it don't feel old
There's no need to reinvent, you’re sensational
Poetry in motion, swinging with your saxophone in the rain
What's this devotion? I've never felt love, not from pain
Bodies or oceans, you fill mine up with your right rain
Because you're like, poetry in motion
Sippin' on your martini in the band
What’s this devotion? You really seem like a good man
Bodies or oceans, I cling to you like your mainland

On the cover of life is a picture of a man
Just like she's alive again, and everyone
Doesn't matter if you're a

Because you're like poetry in motion
Swinging with your saxophone in the bar
What's this devotion? Built with metal and with guitar

Swingin' with your martini in the band
What's this emotion? You really seem like a good man
Bodies or oceans, I cling to you like your mainland

He decided to yank her tail. “Delicious.” “Seriously?” “Mhm. Later on I’ll come back here and eat all of the deer babies.

Not even some toast? A piece of fruit? These oranges are fresh from Klatch, I really can recommend them.’ Vimes tossed one at the man.

Cenę za to płaciła Lisbet. Erik nie odpowiedział. Wpatrywał się w ekran komputera, jakby myślami był zupełnie gdzie indziej. – Koniecznie musiałeś mnie tu ściągać dzisiaj? – powtórzył Kenneth. – W niedzielę? To naprawdę nie mogło poczekać do jutra? Erik powoli odwrócił się od ekranu. – Rozumiem twoją sytuację osobistą – powiedział w końcu. – Ale jeśli nie uporządkujemy ofert, które mamy do przedstawienia w tym tygodniu, równie dobrze możemy zamknąć firmę. Wszyscy musimy być gotowi do pewnych poświęceń. Kenneth był ciekaw, jakie to poświęcenia Erik jest gotów ponosić. Sprawa nie była aż tak pilna, jak sugerował. Papiery można by z powodzeniem uporządkować jutro, a stwierdzenie, że od tego zależy byt firmy, było grubą przesadą. Erik prawdopodobnie potrzebował pretekstu, żeby wyjść z domu, ale po co ściągał jego? Pewnie dlatego, że mógł. Wzięli się do pracy. Milczeli. Biuro zajmowało jeden duży pokój, nie dało się zamknąć drzwi, żeby nie mieć towarzystwa. Kenneth spoglądał ukradkiem na Erika. Coś się w jego wyglądzie zmieniło, chociaż nie umiałby powiedzieć co. Wydawał się jakiś niewyraźny. Z całą pewnością zmęczony. Fryzura nie tak perfekcyjna jak zwykle, koszula trochę pognieciona. Niepodobny do siebie. Chciał spytać, czy w domu wszystko w porządku, ale zrezygnował. Zamiast tego, siląc się na spokój, spytał: – Czytałeś wczoraj o Christianie? Erik drgnął. – Tak. – Ale heca. Grozi mu jakiś świr. – Kenneth powiedział to obojętnym, niemal niefrasobliwym tonem, chociaż serce waliło mu w piersi. – Mhm… – Erik nie odrywał wzroku od ekranu, ale nie dotknął ani klawiszy, ani myszki. – Czy Christian coś ci o tym mówił? – Miał uczucie, jakby się powstrzymał od zdrapania strupa. Podobnie jak Erik nie chciał o tym rozmawiać, a jednak nie mógł się pohamować. – Mówił ci? – Nie, nie mówił mi o żadnych pogróżkach – odparł Erik, grzebiąc w papierach leżących na biurku. – Był bardzo zajęty książką, nie spotykaliśmy się zbyt często. Zresztą może chciał zachować to dla siebie. – Czy nie powinien zgłosić tego na policję? – Skąd wiesz, czy tego nie zrobił? – Erik nadal przewracał papiery. – To prawda… – Kenneth umilkł. – Ale co może policja, skoro to anonimy? Chodzi mi o to, że nadawcą może być jakiś szaleniec. – A skąd ja mam to wiedzieć? – odparł Erik i zaklął, bo skaleczył się papierem w palec. – Cholera jasna. – Zaczął ssać palec. – Myślisz, że to poważne pogróżki? Erik westchnął. – Po co to roztrząsać? Przecież powiedziałem, że nie mam pojęcia. – Podniósł nieco głos i zachrypł. Kenneth spojrzał na niego ze zdziwieniem. Erik naprawdę nie był sobą. Czy na pewno chodzi o firmę? Nie ufał mu. Może zrobił coś głupiego? Odsunął od siebie tę myśl. Był dobrze zorientowany w sprawach firmy i z pewnością by zauważył, gdyby Erik popełnił jakieś szaleństwo. Pewnie chodzi o Louise. To prawdziwy cud, że jeszcze są razem. Wszyscy byli zdania, że obojgu wyszłoby na zdrowie, gdyby powiedzieli sobie do widzenia i rozeszli się każde w swoją stronę. No, ale to nie jego sprawa. Zresztą ma dość własnych zmartwień. Kliknął w plik Excela z miesięcznym sprawozdaniem. Ale myślami był zupełnie gdzie indziej.

Uszypnąłem.
A zaraz potem zmusiłem się do uśmiechu.
