“Funny looking raiders,” Boone whispered in her ear.
She ignored the shiver he sent racing up her spine.
“No one likes a smart ass, Boone,” she said.
“Guess you'd know about that,” he said, “How about we change things up for once and you let me pick them off from back here instead of running at them like a crazy person?”
“You're hilarious today. Taking lessons from Arcade?” she asked, “Besides, shouldn't we at least try to talk to them? They might not be hostile. They might be friendly.”

“I don't—-what'd you call it? Glower? Remind me to hide your thesaurus when we get back.”
“Ha. Glower is practically your middle name.”
