And then, when Reggie is imagining all sorts of sexy scenarios, she pulls out a huge, cartoony-sized syringe with equally huge needle…

To mess with him some more, of course. She wouldn’t want to actually harm him with that.

Probably. ;)

Can I crush them first and then drive them before me and listen to the lamentations of their women?

Is that a quote from the original Bob Howard books or is it a movie line? I’ve enjoyed some of his work but I don’t think I’ve ever read an actual Conan story.

It seems it originates from a 1927 biography of Gengis Khan by Harold Lamb. Don’t know if the quote is genuine or if it shows up in Conan books, but it is pretty in-character both for Gengis Khan and Conan.

It’s from Conan the Destroyer, I believe. Not to say it couldn’t have been stolen from something earlier, but that’s where it became famous. Maybe Arnold’s first famous line.

Being friends with Evrina for years has helped prepare Alex to date Reggie?

I guess so. She’s shown an eye and touched his chin.

I wish she was dating John instead. Reggie sucks.

When I started reading, I thought John and Jo would become an item since they were smoking buddies.
At least he still has a chance with Victoria, right?

I’m looking forward to more of John and Victoria. John has a certain EQ which he doesn’t show very often, but I think she has noticed. Plus he really is “Handsome McTouslehair”.

Sorry, but I keep hoping Alex will give John a chance again. He didn’t do anything wrong. Why is Alex dumping him again?

Seriously, what does she see in him? She’s too good for him.

Reggie isn’t a bad person. He’s got personality flaws but he’s a decent guy deep down; he just doesn’t know how to express himself, he trips over his own feet, and he’s constantly tried to be someone else. He’s wearing like 3 layers of protective masks. Alex sees through that. She’s smart and insightful. She knows the difference between an actual scumbag and someone like Reggie who is trying to act all cool and smart, but deep down knows he’s a klutz who didn’t live up to his father’s expectations and works part-time at a dying store.
