“While there was a playfulness to their caustic bards, there was also an aura of “I’ll kick your ass back to the Steel Age if you so much as breathe my air the wrong way.”’ (Alix)”
“If you disrespect my woman like that again, I’ll kick your fuckin’ ass. You won’t get back up.”
“All right, the alien testosterone right now is a little too much, and I really don’t want to have an alien brawl in my house on top of the broken window and the dead body that came through it.” I took a breath. “But if you two don’t knock it off, I’ll kick both of your asses.”
“When life kicks your ass, kick back.”
“Life will hit you hard in the face, wait for you to get back up just so it can kick you in the stomach. But getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.”
“Guy: Ash is going to kick your ass, Daemon.Daemon: Nah, she likes my ass too much for that.”
