He
wasn’t certain whether to be more amused or shocked as she belted out ribald
lyrics she called limericks in tune
with the band that played on the stage. When she wasn’t wailing in her thin,
warbling alto, Boom-Boom told off-color jokes that left Anneliese screaming
with laughter and Nex gaping in disbelief before he too roared. Although Arga
guffawed with the same stunned hilarity as Nex, the outrageousness of
Boom-Boom’s antics concerned him.
He
leaned toward Anneliese as Boom-Boom shimmied in overt appreciation of the tune
being played, much to the delight of nearby onlookers. “She is—ah—livelier than I
expected.”
“Yeah,
well, Boom-Boom is her own animal. Though some guys in her company told me she
started off quiet and reserved. Hard to believe, huh?”
Indeed,
it was hard to believe she’d ever been sedate. Arga hadn’t met anyone so loud
before, whether Earthling or Risnarish. Not even Anneliese, as tough as any man
and not afraid to indulge in impressive quantities of brew, came close to being
as extroverted as Boom-Boom.
No release date set.
