"We spend so much time lying to one another that I decided it might be amusing to say what I really felt. Just to see whether anyone noticed."

Ah, sweet revenge. After that stunt he pulled getting his men to shoot and capture Random, he's been on my list.

But I think beating all his Rangers in an archery contest and winning my very own Hellpuppy is a nice step toward restoring the cosmic balance. The look on his face when I told him I could be a Ranger myself (which would conveniently get me out of any possible navy service to dear Caine) was another good step....

I'll kick his white-enameled ass into shape yet.
