Nathaniel Nathan reached out and lightly pinched Vera Xavier's other cheek. "You don't need to remember that, because it's never going to happen. Will you make a mistake?"
Vera Xavier: "..."
'Damn it. It's like this bastard talked me in circles again.'
The corners of Nathaniel Nathan's eyes crinkled with amusement. "Since you're not going to make any mistakes, that second rule is a bit redundant."
Vera Xavier felt that getting one up on this bastard was damn near impossible!
Nathaniel Nathan asked, "Is there a third one?"
Vera Xavier took a deep breath. "Of course there is! How about this: when I get back, I'll write them all out and stick them on your wall so you have to look at them every day."
"In that case, you'll have to write three copies," Nathaniel Nathan said, looking at her. "I'll need one to post by my bed at home, one for by my bed in the dorm, and one more to keep in my wallet for when I'm on missions."
Vera Xavier: "..."
