Ordinarily I would be quite happy about this, but she doesn't know that I have a Waki coming! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

then to the left,
wherever your blade is turned.

and a double-edged sword in their hands.
