[I'm in.]
Demos, Gussie, and Lightning don't look surprised. In fact, Lightning just shakes her head as if I'm crazy, but there's an affection there too.
[I know it's foolish, but I can't stomach the idea of letting Hans take all the risk and deal with his mother. Plus, Lobo needs to be safe, and I owe him. That sounds crazy after the way he attacked me, but I'm convinced a lot of that was Lady Lammermoor. Bad beast, bad tamer.]
[Agreed.] Lightning is openly admiring. [I know Lobo. He can be kind and brave. That woman is always pushing him. And I don't mean the way people normally train their beasts.]
Demos bares his teeth. [Like he's her trained circus animal.] This is a sore point for Demos. [Like a sideshow. She seems so nice...]
[That's all for show.] Lightning's ears wiggle. [She was all concerned when Lobo bit Blaze, but she didn't discipline him properly. Just an "I'm sorry" that wasn't sincere. It wasn't the first time.]
