[QUOTE="Qik, post: 5937151, member: 6673727"] From her perch atop the railing lining the ship's bow, Allebasi demurs, [COLOR="PaleTurquoise"]"So aren't you going to introduce me to your friends, Phineas?"[/COLOR] [COLOR="DarkOrchid"] "I'm afraid not, m'lady: we've urgent business ahead of us."[/COLOR] Allebasi shakes her head.
