Kasey blinked. "My bid?" he asked, in the same way he'd said things like, "Eating?" when she tried to get him to put down his work for a while. Kasey tended to fix his mind on one problem at a time, and Marion's threat had completely shattered his focus on the auction.<br/><br/>It took him a moment, and then he whirled back around. "My bid! What's it at? How much..." He trailed off, blinking, as he saw that both Bengal and Revi were no longer on the auction stage. "Ah, damn!" he cursed, "I almost wish I'd shot that bastard, now..."<br/><br/>Turning back to Marion, he suggested, "Maybe we can find the winning bidder, and give them a quick profit?" He considered for a minute. "No, probably not... not if Dr. Tonash was the winning bidder, over on the right..." He scowled. "I don't want to have come all the way out here for this and have nothing to take home. I'm tired, I'm still a little pissed, and god dammit, I'm still horny!" His voice had gotten louder with each point. "I want a damn sex slave, Marion. I'm not getting enough from you, I want to have something pliable and obedient for when you're not in the mood."
