Achtung! You make a tempting offer, Herr Lang. You lead a very cool life, ja? And I do meet all your qualifications, except the previous participation in a synchronised sport. (I'm a very good dancer, though!)

I don't know, though. After today in court, I'm on a high of my own, like I too can lead the way in being badass, ja?

Well, I'll turn eighteen come October.

The last time I suggested one of the Pack take on clerical duties instead of doing field work, they rioted.

I am going to repeat that for you: there was a riot.

[knights_edge]

...Hm. Did you point out to them that if they each took a rotation of the duty, none of them would have to work at it for more than four days?

[alphashifu]

The riot lasted for thirty-six hours. They ended up pulling in seventy thousand people.

It never occurred to me.
