Fiat lux!
Which is Latin for "my small Italian car is on fire!" (I can't remember what this quote is from) -- Gallifreya
[AN: For those who are not at all familiar with Latin, it actually means "Let there be light"]
Rael couldn't loom from underneath someone like Lyr could. But he could sneak up on Shayde as she added to a graffiti wall and conspire to look annoyed.

"Mis-information for profit is a criminal offence, Shayde," he said.
She whirled. "Oh, hallo... Fancy meetin' you here." She could not blush, not with her ebony skin tone, but her glowing eyes turned a sickly shade of chartreuse. "And check me free FAQ ere ye go reportin' me tae th' cops."

"So... what is the purpose of this?"

Understanding dawned like an unexpected supernova. "You're bored, and you're making entertainment."
She boggled at him, her eyes flaring briefly white. "Yer kiddin' me. Ye never had a wee bit o' fun wi' people."
"You know my history. Pranks are counter-productive."
"One day," said Shayde, "I will get ye tae have some fun." He still didn't know if it was a promise or a threat.
