Chapter 35
"You were hypnotised by a yeti? Naboo, how come we've never heard about this?" Kulap exclaimed, grinning.
"It's not something I thought you would want to hear."
"Why wouldn't I want to hear about that? The great Naboo the Enigma, in a trance? Is that your weakness, then?"
"What do you mean?" I ask, confused.
"Naboo the Enigma is rumoured to have only one weakness, but no-one knows what it is. We've been trying to find out for over a century!"
"Oh, that. He's ticklish."
"What? No I'm not! Vince!" Naboo yelps as Kulap and Jyrgal pounce on him, tickling him until he's lying on the floor, begging for mercy.
"Thank you, Vince, we are forever indebted to you." Jyrgal grins. I grin back.
"How come you know that?" Saboo asks.
"I have my ways. Some things have to be kept secret." I say mysteriously.
"Why couldn't you have kept the fact that I'm ticklish secret?" Naboo moans, finally sitting up again.
"Some things have to be shared. It's for the greater good. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one. All's fair in love and war, Naboo."
"All's fair in love and war? That's a quote from Euphues! How do you know quotes from renaissance literature?"
"As I said, I have my ways."
"The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one? Naboo, never mind Euphues, he quoted Star Trek!" Jyrgal exclaims. I chuckle.
"I know, I'm awesome."
