[Dennis: When I wrote it out; that's how it came out. (Ouch, there it is

her character to use, having a double meaning.]

"Yes and no," Jezabel answered plainly, seeming a bit nonplussed. "Chico
can handle the details just as well." A look of joy came over her face.
"Silas, this is a wonderful surprise."
An older man with long, grey hair pulled back in a ponytail approached.
Taking Jezabel's hand he squeezed it gently. "I was in the bar talking
with a trasher about some parts for Felicity, so I thought I'd check up on
who you and your husband are recruiting for me to train." He looked at
Juliette. "You must Ms. Lemanz; the woman that Chico mentioned to me this
