Firestone Hot Springs You got someone to blame

Osprey's moment of superiority by looking down at Burke did not last long, because - of course - he had to emerge from the water like a goddamn hippo and make her realize again, how small and frail she was, when compared to this brute.

Not exactly the best confidence breaking term, but it would do for now. "Life has not been particularly tender with me, but I am fine at the moment. What about you - any major achievements or same old, same old?"
