Fred looked deep into Astra’s lively, emerald eyes and was lost in them.
I stab people too! he mused. “We have more in common than I
first thought. What, if I may be so bold to ask, do you stab them with?
Hmmm, m’lady Astra?” “Oh any old thing lying around the sickbay,” she replied blandly. “There’s always something laying around, know what I mean?” She weakly smiled. Fred nodded his head vigorously. “Do I ever! Would you like to see my sword?”Astra’s smile widened. “Of course I would!” Fred obligingly unsheathed it and displayed it for her. “It’s not that big,” he said dourly, hanging his head in shame. “But it gets the job done. And what it lacks in size I more than make up for with speed, stamina, and swordsmanship. The three SSS’s, I call them. But it hasn’t caught on yet. People are so stupid.”“It’s kinda crooked,” the princess pointed out. “Yes, it has plenty of kinks. It’s been through a lot, let me tell you - horror after horror after horror.”Astra laughed. “You sure get around, don’t you?” Fred joined in the laughter.A dangerous silence ensued. Both waited for the other’s first move. Go ahead and try to stab me, you crazy bitch! thought Fred.I’m gonna go ahead and try to stab him, thought the crazy bitch.
