Moonspear and there's blood on your hands

There was a likeness in Terance's plan to what Rannoch had previously done for Liffey, and he couldn't help the knowing smiling the slithered upon his dark lips.  "It doesn't sound lame at all," he assured. "It's actually what I did when I took Liffey on our first date." There was a fondness in his eyes as he spoke. 

"It's a great plan— I don't see why it wouldn't work for you and Lyra." After all, Terance was a respectable young man; there was nothing Rannoch could imagine about his friend that would turn Lyra away. "You're a good guy, Terance, and I'm sure that Lyra is going to see that," he said, offering the guardian an encouraging smile.
