Um... has anyone seen an innuendo around here?

I think I may have dropped one... :SAN:
The princess might give up on men before trying one. ;)

"We have enough information to search her holdings. This will be the Omicron Division's opportunity to make up for their failures. We have done all we can. Tonight and tomorrow will be securing everything and arresting people. And, of course, your wedding night," she added with an impish smile.
As the last interviewee leaves Garvin brings his hands together in an ethusiastic clap and states "Not only did that go blindin'ly well but also no one 'ad to waterboard an old person". It appears he's joking... probably. He grins at Jaelah "There's not even any time for Roscoe to 'ave 'is stag do!" then adds ruefully "For which we might all be grateful...".
"What's a stag? I should do all the traditions, shouldn't I?"

He winks at the Princess.
Garvin apparently seems to be in the Frederick "humbug" camp. Catching the Princess' wink he fixes Walt with an admonishing gaze "Absolutely no killing the Crown Princess at 12,000kph". His eyes take on that mischievous glint as he adds sotto voce to Walt "An' mind that bike's all you "test drive" an' all! Those blokes in red don't miss... anyone stupid enough to get caught".
Fredrick snorts, but Terresa is watching you both like an unamused hawk. Then she pulls out a knife and tests the edge.

"I have no compunctions about nailing someone's dangly bits to the wall as a warning to others," Terresa said over the link network, excluding the princess. "Try adding the princess to your trophy wall, and I'll add you to mine."

She is standing behind the princess, who doesn’t see her actions. You’ve all heard plenty of threats over the years. Some are all bluster and others cold promises. This is definitely the latter, dialed up to 11 and then dipped in liquid helium.

Or longer, if you want to spend our honeymoon there. It won't be as comfortable as the ship, but we would have the world to ourselves for as long as you like."

"Joke away, bounty hunter. Just remember that regrown parts never work quite the same way as the originals. And, since you can be brought back from death, I can feel free to let you bleed out and then do it all over again. A never-ending wheel of pain and regret on your part. Remember that when you feel frisky."

"I was a sniper in the Marines," Fredrick added with a matching cold smile. "Move on either of these women and you'll never even hear the shot that kills you."

"And I'll be his spotter," Terresa added. "It'll be like old times."

"We could measure dicks until the end of time, but I made the cut in the Marines. Yet here you are, bounty hunter. Take away the Ancients crap and there is no comparison between us."

"Boys," Terresa said, sliding the knife away. "If you're going to make out, do it somewhere else. We're getting ready to head back to the ship."

"You've got the mouth," she admitted, "but I've seen your corpse. I'll check relative sizes and get back to you on that. I've always found that braggarts come up... short."

Fredrick cleared his throat. "Ah, how will you get my measure?"

She laughed and started out the door with the princess, saying nothing more.

Growler senses a raw nerve has been touched in Frederick. He’ll let it drop as Teressa distracts him. “Major to Major” given his number of terms served will only make him feel worse than he does now.
