The last ninja was upright, but only just; Hamish had run his wheelchair over his foot. Mr. Saveloy patted the taxman's arm. "Excuse me," he said. "I find I often have to intervene at this stage."

He padded over to the surviving man, who was looking around wildly. Six swords had become interlaced around his next as though he'd taken part in a rather energetic folk dance.

"Good morning," said Mr. Saveloy. "I should just point out that the Ghengiz here is, despite appearances, a remarkably honest man. He finds it hard to understand empty bravura. May I venture to suggest therefore that you refrain from phrases like 'I would rather die than betray my emperor' or 'Go ahead and do your worst' unless you really, really mean them. Should you wish for mercy, a simple hand signal will suffice. I strongly advise you not to nod."

Jean Arthur in 'The Silver Horde' 1930

[aeshnacyanea2000]

They were, all of them, old men. Their background conversation was a litany of complaints about feet, stomachs and backs. They moved slowly. But they had a look about them. It was in their eyes. Their eyes said that, wherever it was, they had been there. Whatever it was, they had done it, sometimes more than once. But they would never, ever, buy the T-shirt. And they did know the meaning of the word 'fear'. It was something that happened to other people.

The wolf blinked at her-thrice.

In the early days, months, years of this, they had crafted a silent code between them. Using the few moments she'd been able to dredge up speech, whispering through the near-invisible holes in the iron coffin.

One blink for yes. Two for no. Three for Are you all right? Four for I am here, I am with you. Five for This is is real, you are awake.

Fenrys again blinked three times. Are you all right?

Aelin swallowed against the thickness in her throat, her tongue peeling off the roof of her mouth. She blinked once. Yes.

She counted his blinks.

Six.

He'd made that one up. Liar, or something like it. She refused to acknowledge that particular code.

She blinked once again. Yes.

Dark eyes scanned her. He'd seen everything. Every moment of it. If he were permitted to shift, he could tell her what was fabricated and what was real. If any of it had been real.

"You'd be well advised to stay along o' us," said Ghenghiz Cohen. "You'll be safer with us."

"Oh, I'm not sure about that," said Rincewind, grinning horribly. "I'm not sure about that at all."

By myself, he thought, only ordinary horrible things can happen to me.

I now headcanon that Aster is actually Silver's Biological Father. Cause of the psychic powers. Which would make Shadow Silver's Great Grandpa.

Or it could be that Shadow and Sonic are both ancestors of Silver.

Either way, it would be funny if Silver visits adult sonic and sees baby aster and is like "Dad?"

Ahohoho Anon, you are wise to my schemes!

I’ve had people telling me for years that supposedly Silver is a descendent of Shadow and Amy, and even though I don’t believe that’s canon (I don’t know where people have gotten that from. Nobody has ever cited any sources to back that up) I was still open to entertaining that idea.

So that’s why some of the Shadora kids are gray colored and some have telekinetic powers. I wanted to open the door for the possibility of Silver being one of their kids or grandkids.

Kudos to you!

‘Come on, man who talks to peasants. I’m sure you’re going to tell us what they say about these foolish and foolhardy old men?’ ‘Well, that’s it, you see. They say, if they’re so foolish and foolhardy . . . how did they manage to become so old?’

I feel it's v important to inform you that on one server I did the Hunter/Smuggler missions weekly with a hunter named Dapper Danne who looked like this

(it was much more fitting when he was in the Dashing Rogue outfit, but none of those screenshots saved apparently😆)
