As promised, today's snippet:

I seem to be enjoying the relationship between Phoebe and hunky Vittore Vere. This time, Phoebe is being taken on a tour of the ship by third-in-command Ardan Quintus (the nice man who was too nice to die).

--------------------------------------------

We ended our tour in the engine room, where we were met by Vittore -- sigh -- Vere. Today, he had obviously been working on something that required physical exertion, because he was in a muscle shirt that showed off his broad shoulders to maximum and devastating effect.

"Good afternoon, Cap'n." He smiled at me in an effort to show off every last one of those even, white teeth, and I was even happier that I'd taken [the cabin boy's] advice on dressing.

"Guh," I said, then kicked myself mentally. Damnitall, I wasn't going to do that again! I tried to cover up with a cough. "Er, excuse me. Good afternoon, Mr. Vere."

--------------------------------------------

Let's face it. Poor Phoebe will probably NEVER be able to have a conversation with Vittore that won't either begin or end with, "Guh."
