“Don't look at me like that," said Ruza.
"Like what?"
"Like I'm a beautiful book you're about to open and plunder with your greedy mad eyes."
Lazlo laughed. "Greedy mad eyes? Plunder? Are you afraid of me, Ruza?"
Ruza looked suddenly steely. "Do you know, Strange, that to ask a Tizerkane if he fears you is to challenge him to single comabt?"
"Well then," said Lazlo, who knew better than to believe anything Ruza said. "I'm glad I only said it to you and not one of the fearsome warriors like Azareen or Tzara."
"Unkind," said Ruza, wounded. His face crumpled. He pretended to weep. "I am fearsome," he insisted "I am."
"There, there," consoled Lazlo. "You're a very fierce warrior. Don't cry. You're terrifying."
"Really?" asked Ruza in a pitiful little hopeful voice. "You're not just saying that?"
"You two idiots," said Azareen, and Lazlo felt a curious twinge of pride, to be called an idiot by her, with what might have been the tiniest edge of fondness.”
