And now Luxord was in the 'Rape is a metaphor because normal words like pain and agony just won't cover the amount of hatred I'm going to vent on your sorry ass' phase of the conversation. Which, for Xigbar, was peachy keen; maybe he'd get to see some pain being spread around. He just had to snigger at the 'Mushu' comment, though... it really was appropriate, given the situation.

Still, Xigbar grinned and nodded his head, lying through his teeth and yet sounding amazingly convincing about it. "Nabbed a pack, yeah. Hafta use matches, though; dunno if there are any lighters floating around." In his opinion, working up Badou's hopes and then crushing them would be not just fair for what he'd done to Luxord, but also a heck of a laugh in the bargain.
