“So, you see, the statue could be me, with this wee gun,” Ringo said, striking a pose, “Looking heroically off into the distance.”
“No,” Beli said simply, bouncing Bael on her hip and making faces at the giggling baby.
Grand Mason Marblesten made it a point to be looking anywhere but at the Flinthammers arguing in the middle of his Ironforge shop.

The rotor was loud, but that was to be expected.
The engines got very hot, but that’s why it was an open design. Still, it probably wouldn’t be a lot of fun to fly in Tanaris or Silithus.
But here, above the Blade’s Edge Mountains, the wind moving through the gyrocopter was enough to keep it cool enough to operate comfortably.

“After all these years, I can’t believe it!” Widge said, drumming his feet against a chair’s edge gleefully.
“Well, it makes sense,” Piko said, waving a piece of paper in one hand. “Legal or not, civilian aviators have been flying them for years. Just look at the Explorers Guild!”

Coren Direbrew cowered in the storeroom of the Grim Guzzler.
“So,” Beli said, “We’ll take your keg back to Brewfest, but we don’t want any more Dark Iron attacks after that.”
“No, no, of course not,” Coren said, starting to rise, grinning.
“No,” Beli said, sweeping his feet out from under him with her hammer, dropping Coren back to the floor, “You don’t understand: If there are any more attacks, we’ll be back.”
