"Uh..."
Watching the potion formula waving back and forth in front of him, Danitz couldn't help swallowing.
Of course he was interested! Especially after the humiliating experience of being captured alive by Tracy and hung upside down from a mast, exposed to wind and rain, he had come to a profound, painful realization of how important advancement and strength were.
But looking at Lorne's teasing eyes, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong-that the man was toying with him.

The real problem is that I don't have any money! Danitz grumbled inwardly. *I could sell
