“Okay, I’ll demonstrate. You threaten to kill me.”
“I’d rather not.”

“All right: I’ll kill you.”
“You have to say it like you mean it.”
“I’LL KILL YOU!”
And she punched me in the eye.

She leaned forward. “You’ll do this for me, Red, because despite Constance, you’re in love with me.”
“Oh, sure,” I said in an unconvincing manner, “I’m on a half promise to an Oxblood, and I let myself fall for a Grey girl who not only despises me but is up for Reboot in under a week. Does that sound remotely sensible to you?”

“Do I look as though I’m interested?”
“Not really.”
“You’re right. The details of your hopeless quest to sacrifice your individuality on the altar of Chromatic betterment is about as exciting to me as pulling clodworms out of the juniors.”

“You have to say it like you mean it.”
“I’LL KILL YOU!”
And she punched me in the eye.
“Ow! That hurt. And how could that possibly demonstrate that it’s no big deal?”

She picked up on my nervousness and raised an eyebrow. “What are you so worried about?”
“The last time you smiled at me, I found myself under a yateveo.” She laughed. The sound was lovely—yet quite out of character. It would be like hearing a fish sneeze.
“Honestly,” she said, “are you going to drag that up every time we meet? So I threatened to kill you. What’s the big deal?”

“This is yesterday’s accident,” he said, handing me another photo. “Look.”
The atmosphere of the shot was particularly strident. A shaft of light had shone in from one of the factory windows at precisely the right moment, backlighting the victim’s severed head agreeably.
“I like the framing,” I said, “especially the windows reflected in the pool of blood.”

“You’re quite handsome—I like your nose especially.”
“It was a birthday present.”
“What else of interest did they give you?”
I decided to change the subject as she was being a little too forward.

“I’ll concede that her nose is definitely the cutest and most retroussé in the village,” said Tommo, “but as for pretty—so is a viper. If you tried to kiss either, you’d get bitten on the face.”
