    “Vhat ozzer abilities do you haf?" ter Borcht snapped, which his assistant waited, pen in hand.
    Gazzy thought. "I have X-ray vision," he said. He peered at ter Borcht's chest, then blinked and looked alarmed.
    Ter Borcht was startled for a second, but then he frowned. "Don't write dat down," he told his assistant in irritation. The assistant froze in midsentence.
    "You. Do you haf any qualities dat distinguish you in any way?"
    Nudge chewed on a fingernail. "You mean, like, besides the WINGS?" She shook her shoulders gently, and her beautiful fawn-colored wings unfolded a bit.
    His face flushed, and I felt like cheering. "Yes," he said stiffly. "Besides de vings."
    "Hmm. Besides de vings." Nudge tapped one finger against her chin. "Um..." Her face brightened. "I once ate nine Snickers bars in one sitting. Without barfing. That was a record!"
    "Hardly a special talent," ter Borcht said witheringly.
    Nudge was offended. "Yeah? Let's see YOU do it."

    "Only when I'm trying to steal their dessert"
    ...Fang pretended to think, gazing up at the ceiling. "Besides my fashion sense? I play a mean harmonica."
    "I vill now destroy de Snickuhs bahrs!" Gazzy barked.”

    You're kidding, right? PLEASE tell me you have a stronger motive for me than 'fair is fair.' Life isn't FAIR, Dean....Nothing is fair, EVER. That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
