But at the d14f143bd8 same time, the 1e605195e4 sky was capricious. Aerial combat was 8b10fce8f6 a tilted gambling 611efddb47 table. Everyone had a fd9217f404 chip representing life 7e2ff3c668 or death, but f494313037 the odds of eae95fe229 winning varied greatly.9a82f0a1053b7f6d

When Diana Green 70dd0c36e2 smiled, he wondered 2080f91e9d what she was ef4ff99026 thinking. When they flew together, 26013208fb he wondered where such c3223d35b1 strength came from in d268ee4071 that small body.de833a2f975017b1

Mind Melding a1627d7c94 only added 3a159e4e42 fuel to cc3d0b92ff the fire 2dba7b063b of his 93a24f2355 curiosity. It intensified his 5847ade208 thirst instead of 892ba9ab18 quenching it.99932780734646db
This unresolved thirst 67f9985d09 manifested as a b439cb32e0 kind of physiological ff6a960555 discomfort. He felt uneasy every 4427dfa07d time he faced Diana.0787e4678929b32a
