OOC: My apologies, Suz. I didn't notice the response, and in the Eudora adventures, I must've deleted it. Eris resent it to me. >>"Galina Zorn? I've heard of her. You know her? Ohhhhh. Do tell me!"

But you asked." "That I did," he says, smiling. He's enjoying hearing her talk. "It sounds like it would start to get old in a big hurry, doesn't it?

"I think you might have that air too, Mira. Though you do have a bit of a temper... You might get a 'reputation' as being hard to get along with." Mira can hear the quotes around 'reputation'.
