Artist's Comments
"Come on!!!" The voice strained against the weight of the reins. "It's just a door..."
The young harlequin stallion, his ears flattened against his head, dug his feet even further into the soft dirt of the race track. He wasn't going anywhere, thank you very much - not even for carrots. "Sorry ma'am" The man wiped his forehead, which was sweating under the combination of work and hot weather. "I don't think ya're gonna have much luck with this one here..." The owner of Darklight Stables winced. This was the second employee at the racetrack that had called her mam - and it didn't get better the more you heard it. "You want me to take him?" "Excuse me?" Mae raised an inquisitive eyebrow as she turned her head to look behind her. "It's no trouble...He's a friendly horse. I saw him run yesterday - looks to me like you've got some trouble with the starting gate though." "You don't say." She took a moment and studied the man before her. Meanwhile, the other one handed her back the reins of the stallion - who's ears swivelled forward now that he wasn't having to go into the gates, nickered pleaseantly and buffed at her sleeves for some attention. "Your race is still nearly a month away, isn't it? That's plenty of time." "And why should I trust you with this?" she asked. "Oh..." he looked a bit sheepish, reaching up to scratch his neck almost without thinking. "Guess I can't really give you a reason..." He stepped right up to the railing, holding out a hand for the inquisitive horse, who arched his neck and nosed the stranger - wondering if there was some petting to be involved. Mae chuckled. "Well, Harlan seems to like you well enough - guess that's good enough...for now. So, what do you do around here - when not coming to the recsue of a damsel in distress that is?" "Me?" the man turned to look at the horse's owner while still rubbing his forehead, much to Harlan's pleasure. " Oh....I don't work here...I just came in because I needed to see the vet about my horse." "I see," Mae said, while admitting to herself that she didn't infact 'see' at all... Harlan's Illusion training for the races As you can see...Harlan's red markings have darkened with age.

I have learning disabilities.
<Hork-Bajir, come on out,> I said firmly. Slowly the big creature crawled out. He stood erect, blinking in the dim evening light.
"Not Hork-Bajir," he said. "Jara Hamee. My name. Jara Hamee."

"Hey Dan! Mom-"
"Hello?"
"Dan? I said Mom-"
"What?"
"Dan?"
"You're breaking up."

"Hello?"
"Daniel! Mom said to-"
"This is my voicemail. Leave a message." *beep*

Gabriel: I'm a sensitive snake.
Dr Eliza JS: Do you believe it's OK to be a sensitive snake?
Gabriel: Why, yes I rather do. Would you prefer if I was homicidal megalomaniac like my first children?
Yeah - the poor dear, who's never been near anything mechanical in his life, isn't impressed.
