*Daric laughed then coughed, then grimaced in pain before continuing.* "<em>My soothing serenade has melted your heart into putty has it? Don't worry about my neighbor, he was dead before I even came to know him.</em>" *He frowned and waved his hand.* "<em>But enough of the dead. As to where it hurts, there is one area in particular I would have you examine closely. But I'm not sure now is the time. I'll have to scratch my back later after I can reach it.</em>" *He smiled at the reaction to his joke and continued.* "<em>So, where it really hurts.... hmmmm, what doesn't hurt is really the question. Enough of me though, our second date can't be all about me. How did you fare during the smooth stop? I see we shared a common headbanging.</em>" *His smile was plastered on his face the whole time, although he was more trying not to move much during the whole exchange. How very appropriate that the fairy be Ellen. She even had some medical goodies too.*
