You called me ‘Fluttershy.’ As in the My Little Pony…
““You called me ‘Fluttershy.’ As in the My Little Pony, ‘Fluttershy?’” “Oh.” He looked a little taken aback for a second. “Yeah.” He sucked in his lips, pinched them between his teeth, and then shrugged. “What can I say? You’re just like her. You care more about animals than you do your own safety. I’m gonna have to kidnap a rabbit and threaten you with bunnicide unless you come quietly back to the castle with me.” “What?” Diana felt her eyes go wide. “You heard me,” he said before he took another long swig and swallowing hard. He lowered the bottle and leaned up against the kitchen counter. “And you know I’m right.” “About kidnapping a bunny?” She felt bewildered.””
