I have never known y'all to be pissed off without a damn good reason. And if you were sick, well, girl you know that Sir Strider would have to be all over that, making you feel better. [There's a thin smile. The twang is a thing that he usually doesn't use, but sometimes it comes out to play.]

There's steak and chicken kebabs inside, with stirfried veggies, noodles, tropical fruit salad and assorted sorbets and gelatos for a sweet treat. There was also a chilled bottle of champagne.]

Like I said, Harley, the best deserves the gogdamned best.
