"Why not just let 'em fight?" Kera asked belligerently. "If you've got so much on humans and you aren't even a full demon or whatever, I bet you they could give as good as they've gotten."

"Landmine?" Shannon asked after a moment. He had already determined he wasn't going to apologize for Kera. His partner was definitely a free spirit and had very strong opinions, which may or may not have reflected some of Shannon's own, and he would let that come back to smack Kera whenever it managed to happen. Or not, if he escaped the karma. Either way, it wasn't Shannon's business to police Kera.
