((I'm okay with whatever nickname Ric is given. I was just trying to be in character as to how he would react to them. Same goes for the statements here.<img alt="8)" src="./images/smilies/icon_cool.gif" title="Cool"/>))<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">'I can't believe this!'</span>Ric thinks to himself,<span style="font-style: italic">'He wants me to show respect to him!? How can I show respect to him when he's the one that kidnapped me in the middle of my conversation, almost strangled me, didn't answer my question with a straight answer, tosses me into water which I really am not fond of, and above all that he turns me into a fish! I don't know why he believes I should give him respect after that. Now I'm swimming around in the most vulnerable state in my life.'</span>
