JJ softly laughed. "Oh, my dearest, you underestimate yourself."
"Flatterer." I playfully nudged his side. "Alright, that one looks like her grandmother messed with a horse. And I could see from their faces that the prettiest ones are all bitches, anyway." I paused. "And they can hear me, too. Damn."
"Don't be so alarmed. In gathering like these, it's impossible to listen on to every conversation. The only thing that would bring you is a headache. Everyone will gossip about everyone. I'm sure that someone throws insult into our backs right now, too." JJ paused and glanced around. "Oh, like them, for example. Jeremiah and Reszel… I remember running into them in Roumania a few times, when we were cleaning up after Dragon. It seems that two and a half centuries of separation didn't diminish their dislike towards me."
