Humour Quote by Robert J. Crane
““He squinted, as if he could shut out my damned, unreasonable request, then relaxed and opened his eyes again. "I'm an Aeolus, okay?" "A what?" Kat asked. "Like on a breast?" Scott looked at him in confusion. Kat buried her face in one of her hands. "Like a windkeeper, you jackass.””
