poppy Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 This caused the terror-stricken Megan Burke to cling more desperately to the tree she had climbed and her shrieks took on an added note of hysteria. Poppy rolled her eyes and muttered 'For Heaven's Sake! Belt Up, Megan!' but Itsme was far more sympathetic and talked soothingly to her, explaining that Bertrand never ate pretty girls (which was rather charitable of him, as Megan hadn't exactly been gifted with a face of the ship launching variety). In fact, Bertrand's preferred diet consisted of sausage sandwiches of which Dex .............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
