She blinked with confusion that was quickly followed by disappointment as Vera took the first wine glass and Kazuma raised the second...leaving her with grape juice.

Er...

She glanced from the grape juice to Kazuma, then back at the grape juice. He knew fairly well that she was too old to be treated like a kid! She could most certainly handle her alcohol! Maybe!

If he were one of her friends back home, she would have insisted upon having wine. But she was a first-time guest in his home, so she decided to be polite. Resigning herself to her lot, Remy reached for the grape juice.

I'll need to chop it down for the widget, but you need to read the whole thing to really get why it's so funny. Poor Remy!

...in an instant, all of Elias' plans and hopes were dispersed faster than a close-knit crowd running from an errant fart...

Both of these are from Aella's post in The Dare. Solstice describes beautifully.

Quote

The water that danced with him gleamed in Hel's light, rainbows scattering here and there like sparks she'd will out of molten steel with hammer and muscle, the metal singing a music of its own.

Quote

Stray moisture from the water dance whirled about her and hung heavy in the air and she gathered rivulets and strands of it from further and further away until it seemed she had been encompassed in a vortex of water and wind.

Aella said:

She digested what Kiel had said a moment before.

"Like, dude. We're standing in an ancient temple to Xanth and there's a freaking giant spider in here waiting for us. How cool is that?"

No, not just a giant spider, Kiel. They stumbled upon the giant spider family reunion. And they clearly weren't invited.

On second thought, maybe they were. Aella looked half-beast herself, covered in azani fur and leathers, but when a guest throws flames into the hostess' face — well, that's unacceptable behavior for any gathering. Even a gathering of spiders.

“[The kumo] seemed to have collected a few sharp objects, too. Aella could respect that, but she preferred to hold them with her hands rather than with her gut.” ~ Aella in Chapter One of the Dionica Crucible.

Full of holes, and barely consisting of threads, [the tarp] looked more like a spider web. As dust continued to drift from the ancient thing, there was soon only the corners left... So much for that.
