He was about to belt him when he realized who it was and said, "Dude, you almost got clobbered."

"I see," said Z, "anyway, I mean you all no harm."

[paladin313]

"I think, to keep the valks off your back, you need to prove that in more than just words."

[Trace Carter]

"It's not just that," said Z, "I'm flat out terrified of them.  I saw Lind fighting mom and the Angel Eater!"

[paladin313]

"Angel eater?" he asked, "What was that about?"
