"Now that's a damn good reason!"
Ayse's cheer interrupted Baloo's heartfelt moment. Holding a knife by its blade, Ayse boldly questioned, "To become a brother of an outlaw is to become an outlaw yourself. By becoming the brother of me, Silver Crown Ayse, you'll join a posse destined to be hunted and feared by the entire universe. Because that's the only way to explore the whole universe without cutting corners!"
"I will!" Baloo's tail thumped against the deck of the ship. "I will be your brother! And an outlaw!"
"Then you will be family? When the going gets tough and the future is filled with danger or imminent death, you won't abandon the family?" Ayse asked with a charming grin and a piercing stare.
Baloo threw his hands up in the arm. "Yes! I will never abandon my family!"
Slit.
