    “His Majesty needs a can-I girl anyway. And I'm not it."
    "A can-I girl?" Andrea frowned.

    I leaned back. "'Can I fetch your food, Your Majesty? Can I tell you how strong and mighty you are, Your Majesty? Can I pick your fleas, Your Majesty? Can I kiss your ass, Your Majesty? Can I..."

    It dawned on me that Raphael was sitting very still. Frozen, like a statue, his gaze fixed on the point above my head. "He's standing behind me, isn't he?"

    Andrea nodded slowly.

    "Technically it should be 'may I'," Curran said, his voice deeper than I remembered. "Since you're asking for permission."

    Why me?

    "To answer your question, yes, you may kiss my ass. Normally I prefer maintain my personal space, but you're a Friend of the Pack and your services have proven useful once or twice. I strive to accommodate the wishes of persons friendly to my people. My only question is, would kissing my ass be obeisance, grooming, or foreplay?”

    “The phone rang. I picked it up.
    “Are you sitting down?” Curran's voice asked.
    “Yes.”
    “Good.”
    Click.
    I listened to the disconnect signal. If he wanted me to sit, then I'd stand. I got up. The chair got up with me and I ended up bent over my desk, with the chair stuck to my butt. I grabbed the edge of the chair and tried to pull it off.
    It remained stuck.
    I would murder him. Slowly. And I'd enjoy every second of it.”

    “Are you sure you know where you're going?" Andrea frowned.
    "Would you like me to pull over and ask that bamboo for directions?"
    "I don't know, do you think it will answer?"
    We peered at the bamboo.
    "I think it looks suspicious," Andrea said.
    "Maybe there is a heffalump hiding in it."
    Andrea stared at me.
    "You know, heffalump? From Pooh Bear?"
    "Where do you even get this shit?”
    Ilona Andrews, Magic Slays

    “Did he just rip out the engine?" I asked.
    "Yes", Saiman said. "And now he is demolishing the Maserati with it."
    Ten seconds later Curran hurled the twisted wreck of black and orange that used to be the Maserati into the wall.
    The first melodic notes of an old song came from the computer. I glanced at Saiman.
    He shrugged. "It begged for a soundtrack.”
    Ilona Andrews, Magic Slays

    “The vampire stared at me, his mouth slack as Ghastek assessed his options. I took a couple of forms from my desk, put them into the vamp's mouth, and pulled them up by their edges.
    "What are you doing?" Ghastek asked.
    "My hole puncher broke."
    "You have no respect for the undead.”

    “Starving.”

    “Great idea.”
    “What are you going to wear?”
    “My badass face.”
    “Good choice,” he said. »”

    “One school of thought says that the best way to handle an issue like this is exposure therapy," Mad Rogan said. "For example, if you're terrified of snakes, repeated handling of them will cure it."

    “Yes, I'm a hermit. Mostly I brood," Mad Rogan said. "Also, I'm very good at wallowing in self-pity. I spend my days steeped in melancholy, looking out the window. Occasionally a single tear quietly rolls down my cheek.”

    Seanan McGuire
    “October—

    You were sleeping so peacefully that I was loath to wake you. Duke Torquill, after demanding to know what I was doing in your apartment, has requested that I inform you of his intent to visit after ‘tending to some business at the Queen’s Court.’ I recommend wearing something clinging, as that may distract him from whatever he wishes to lecture you about this time. Hopefully, it’s your manners.

    You are truly endearing when you sleep. I attribute this to the exotic nature of seeing you in a state of silence.

    —Tybalt

    “We are not going to die."

    Butters stared up at me, pale, his eyes terrified. "We're not?"

    "No. And do you know why?" He shook his head. "Because Thomas is too pretty to die. And because I'm too stubborn to die." I hauled on the shirt even harder. "And most of all because tomorrow is Oktoberfest, Butters, and polka will never die.”
    Jim Butcher, Dead Beat

    “Make it quick," I said when I picked up.
    "Okay. Two men from the FBI are here." Cookie said. Quickly.
    Crap. "Men in black are at the office?"
    "Well, yes, but they're actually in more of a navy."
    Crapola. I so don't have time for men. In any color. "Okay, two questions. Do they look mad, and are they hot?"
    After a long, long, pause, Cookie said, "One, not really. Two, no comment at this time. And three, you're on speakerphone."
    After another long, long pause, I said, "Okie dokie then. Be there in a jiff.”

    “The stars in the sky
    Unhidden by night
    Souls of our loved ones
    Guide us by sight

    Bringing day’s light
    Remain in our hearts
    And all wrongs become right;
    I'll see you in the night.”
    Keri Lake, Ricochet
