"Well,actually I do,and I don't like them. But I do like you,Billy, and I'm not going to allow you to end up as lunch for some raggedy lion-monster-thingy." "A sphinx," Machiavelli corrected her.

I'm not a magician. I'am an alchemyst, a man of science, though perhaps not the science you would be familiar with.Collection: Men
