Library is Open, Wednesday 2/1

Zero opens the Library and heads back into the stacks, returning a few minutes later with that which she sought: The Amethyst Flower, the sequel to The Jade Flower. Today, there will be silly romance novels, and it will be good.

"The sheikh who kidnapped her parents! Jade alone has had about four opportunities to do it, and now Ammy's going to let the stupid Scottish Apache boy fight him for her hand. Why doesn't she just ninja-assassinate him or whatever??"

"Maybe she wants him to prove he has the chops?" Parker wondered. "And that way, she can seduce the sheikh without him getting stupid, if MacGregor can't beat him in a fight." She paused. "No, still stupid. You're right, it has to be a send-up. I'd kick any guy's ass who tried to fight someone for me."

"Ditto. Ammy's holding off all the sheikh's men at once now. Poor bastards."

"Don't piss off a pirate-ninja, man. They're mean little monsters."

"If nothing else, this book is an excellent demonstration of that. It's a lesson everyone should know."

Parker snorted. "As someone who has stolen pie from a ninja and lived by the skin of her teeth, it should be put up on billboards. I still wonder why Jaye's alive." Pausing, she said, "Wait. A sheikh in the Caribbean?"

"From his sheikhdom in the deserts, he heard tales of the beauty of the Amethyst Flower and knew he must have her for his own," Zero recites from the back of the book.

"That is one bored sheikh. Doesn't he have a country to run? Tribesmen to thwart? This is why some people shouldn't be allowed to get rich or have nice things. They're never happy with them. Always have to go running off, collecting women."
