    Even Thalia smiled at that. "And I need to use the dam restroom."
    ...
    I started cracking up, and Thalia and Grover joined in, while Zoe just looked at me. "I do not understand."

    Ginny Albinson
    “Rigor Mortis.” I say, almost as an apology. But he won’t have any of it. He locks onto my gaze. He doesn’t lean forward, but he doesn’t need to, suddenly the room feels like it’s filled with him. His presence floats in the air like a noxious gas, and I’m breathing it in.
    “Ike, you don’t get it. That’s why I wanted to talk to you. Do you think I have the right to talk to anyone? Do you think its fun to have a ‘human’ brain in a pet’s body? Sure, I have Kamu. And that’s fugging great, but guess what? Kamu is queen to be, and emotionally unstable.” I've never heard Rig talk this powerfully before, but he doesn’t seem scary, just sad. “And then I get someone else I can actually talk to, Ike, I get you. And you don’t treat me like I’m a pet and you talk about Kamu like she needs to be protected and you are there. You are there, and you keep being there, and the only one who’s ever there is Kamu, but now there is Ike. And Ike is perfect, albeit a bit dense, but perfect.”
    “Rig, I’m really sorry bu-“ I start, I don’t know how much more of this I can take. With each sentence Rig loses some of his force, he sounds more pathetic and lost.
    “I’m not done.” He pronounces the words in such a voice that it makes me shut up more than the context of the sentence does. “And all I want is to be with this boy who is there, this boy who is my friend, this boy who isn’t always caught up in politics. All I want is to have my one good break.” He finishes. I keep holding his eye contact, and his eyes, they already reflect hurt and rejectment. I don’t know if from me…or from life.”
    Ginny Albinson

    Kenneth Oppel
    “Marry me." I said.
    She lowered her teacup, shaking slightly, to the saucer. "Aren't you going to get down on one knee?"
    I got down on one knee and took her hand.
    "Will you marry me, Kate?"
    You can't propose properly without a ring." She said.
    I reached into my pocket and took out James Sanderson's ring, which I'd picked up off the floor of the Starclimber when we'd crash landed.
    "That's a nice looking ring." said Kate with a grin.
    "Cost a fortune." I said. "And now, for the third time. Kate de Vries, will you marry me?"
    She leaned forward and took my face in her hands and kissed me.
    "Yes," "Yes, and yes and yes. But it will probably be terrible."
    "Probably," I agreed.
    "Honestly," she sighed, "I don't know what kind of life we'll have together, with me always flying off in one direction and you in the other."
    I smiled. "It's a good thing the world's round," I said.”
    Kenneth Oppel, Starclimber
