[color=lightskyblue]"We had to jump through a bunch of hoops for approval.  Red tape, regulations, all of that.  It took half a year."[/color]  Sparks would have said more, but the hotheaded Griff butted in, insulting Dancer [i]and[/i] Guinevere in one fell swoop.  His easy smile vanished, expression turning stony.  [color=lightskyblue]"Listen, man, I don't know what your damage is, but you've got a couple things wrong.  First off, Dancer's not my girlfriend.  If I wanted to program a dating sim, I would have -- and I'd've given it a male voice.  Secondly, you do [i]not[/i] want a mechanic angry at you.  Especially when he's the one doing field repairs on the frame that keeps you alive.  Fortunately for you, I'm able to be the bigger man and won't actually do anything to endanger your life...but that doesn't mean I couldn't make your life absolutely miserable, if I wanted to."[/color]
