    “But there were some things I believed in. Some things I had faith in. And faith isn't about perfect attendance to services, or how much money you put on the little plate. It isn't about going skyclad to the Holy Rites, or meditating each day upon the divine.
    Faith is about what you do. It's about aspiring to be better and nobler and kinder than you are. It's about making sacrifices for the good of others - even when there's not going to be anyone telling you what a hero you are.”

    Thomas barked out a laugh. "There are seven of us against the Red King and his thirteen most powerful nobles, and it's going well?"

    Mouse sneezed.

    "Eight," Thomas corrected himself. He rolled his eyes and said, "And the psycho death faerie makes it nine."

    "It is like movie," Sanya said, nodding. "Dibs on Legolas."

    "Are you kidding?" Thomas said. "I'm obviously Legolas. You're . . ." He squinted thoughtfully at Sanya and then at Martin. "Well. He's Boromir and you're clearly Aragorn."

    "Martin is so dour, he is more like Gimli." Sanya pointed at Susan. "Her sword is much more like Aragorn's."

    "Aragorn wishes he looked that good," countered Thomas.

    "What about Karrin?" Sanya asked.

    "What--for Gimli?" Thomas mused. "She is fairly--"

    "Finish that sentence, Raith, and we throw down," said Murphy in a calm, level voice.

    "Tough," Thomas said, his expression aggrieved. "I was going to say 'tough.' "

    As the discussion went on--with Molly's sponsorship, Mouse was lobbying to claim Gimli on the basis of being the shortest, the stoutest, and the hairiest--

    "Sanya," I said. "Who did I get cast as?"

    "Sam," Sanya said.

    I blinked at him. "Not . . . Oh, for crying out loud, it was perfectly obvious who I should have been."

    Sanya shrugged. "It was no contest. They gave Gandalf to your godmother. You got Sam.”
