“Looks like I missed a party. Good. I wasn’t really in the mood to off demons this evening. Haven’t had my coffee yet. (Jared)You drink coffee? (Stryker)No, but it was my pathetic attempt at humor. (Jared)”

“I can’t touch him. (Jared)Well, don’t you suck. (Stryker)Oh, believe me, I couldn’t agree more. Just be grateful it’s not contagious. (Jared)”

“How do you know that? (Stryker)I know everything. I feel every heartbeat in the universe. Hear every scream for mercy and feel every tear of pain. (Jared)”

“What is he? Your personal lie detector? (Stryker)Something like that. (Zephyra)Why don’t you tell him the truth? I’m your pet dog you keep chained up so he won’t piss on your floor. (Jared)”

“Gods, how I’ve missed you. (Stryker)I hate you with every beat of my heart. (Zephyra)”

“Damn, all I wanted was a drink of coffee and one little beignet. Coffee… Daimons… Coffee…Daimons. (Talon)I think in this case the Daimons better win. (Wulf)Yeah, but it’s chicory coffee. (Talon)Talon wanting to be toasted by Acheron for failure to protect humans. (Wulf)”

“You’ve got to be kidding me. I thought you were the most powerful of beings. Even the gods fear you. (Stryker)We all have predators. The entire universe exists in a system of checks and balances. I just met my zero balance. (War)Are you honestly telling me that the most powerful creature on this planet is a pathetic Cajun guttersnipe who offed himself because one of my men killed his mommy?
