Unbelievable. Everyone else called Sabriel on his obnoxiousness and all he could do was make rude gestures. No apology, no explanation on why he did it, nothing useful. He just went ahead and got into an argument with the alien about its speech patterns. Pine didn’t like Rubber. Sure, he personally wasn’t the biggest fan of humanity either. But something about this thing’s attitude just rubbed him the wrong way.

“Magnum? Really? You’re insult falls flat. Magnum actually sounds impressive.” Pine remarked with a sigh, shaking his head in disbelief. “I suppose complaining about nicknames is futile anyway. I’ve been dubbed everything from Jolly Green Giant to Lorax.” Despite his grumbling, Pine couldn’t deny he found Sabriel attractive… He didn’t know why. Sabriel is nothing like Evan, before he betrayed him. Maybe that had something to do with it.

Pine flopped next to Casey on the couch. “I would love to see someone put them on mute too. Got any plants handy?”
