"You`re a Price?" she said,... «Half-Off Ragnarok»
RamingoWS11 мая 2018"You`re a Price?" she said, disbelieving. "Yeah." "As in Thomas Price, the author of The Price Field Guide to the Cryptids of Australia and New Zealand." I vaguely remembered seeing that book in the library at home. "Yes," I said, with more certainty than I felt. "You`re lying. He didn`t have children." "I think that`s something you should take up with my grandmother, since she`s pretty adamant about us being his, and he married her before my father was born, which means we`re all legit5imate in the eyes of the law." Shelby blinked again. Then, much to my relief, she lowered her gun. Her shoulders started to shake. I worried for a moment that she was crying, until I realized that the shaking was from the effort of keeping her laughter contained. "All these weeks... all those nights of being afraid you`d catch me out, or you`d start asking questions... all the times I worried you`d stumble over something on one of your field trips and get yourself eaten... I`ve been worrying about a Price> That`s worse than worrying over nothing. That`s like worrying about the well-being of the crocodile in your billabong!"
