Teasing Quote by Laurell K. Hamilton
““Today, I’ll be teasing back. Merry said that Kurag is like a schoolyard bully, and she’s right. Besides, if Merry can do it, so can I.” He looked suddenly fierce again. All the humor had gone, leaving his face bleak. “Though I’d much rather kill goblins than negotiate with them.” “Funny,” Doyle said, “that’s exactly what King Kurag said about the sidhe only moments ago.” “Perfect,” I said. “Let’s all go and irritate each other.” Doyle””
