Abram’s family moves to Canaan

1 The Lord said to Abram, “Leave your land, your family, and your father’s household for the land that I will show you. 2 I will make of you a great nation and will bless you. I will make your name respected, and you will be a blessing.

3 I will bless those who bless you, those who curse you I will curse; all the families of the earth will be blessed because of you.”

4 Abram left just as the Lord told him, and Lot went with him. Now Abram was 75 years old when he left Haran. 5 Abram took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all of their possessions, and those who became members of their household in Haran; and they set out for the land of Canaan. When they arrived in Canaan, 6 Abram traveled through the land as far as the sacred place at Shechem, at the oak of Moreh. The Canaanites lived in the land at that time. 7 The Lord appeared to Abram and said, “I give this land to your descendants,” so Abram built an altar there to the Lord who appeared to him. 8 From there he traveled toward the mountains east of Bethel, and pitched his tent with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to the Lord and worshipped in the Lord’s name. 9 Then Abram set out toward the arid southern plain, making and breaking camp as he went.

Abram and Sarai visit Egypt

10 When a famine struck the land, Abram went down toward Egypt to live as an immigrant since the famine was so severe in the land. 11 Just before he arrived in Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, “I know you are a good-looking woman. 12 When the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife,’ and they will kill me but let you live. 13 So tell them you are my sister so that they will treat me well for your sake, and I will survive because of you.”

14 When Abram entered Egypt, the Egyptians saw how beautiful his wife was. 15 When Pharaoh’s princes saw her, they praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s household. 16 Things went well for Abram because of her: he acquired flocks, cattle, male donkeys, men servants, women servants, female donkeys, and camels. 17 Then the Lord struck Pharaoh and his household with severe plagues because of Abram’s wife Sarai. 18 So Pharaoh summoned Abram and said, “What’s this you’ve done to me? Why didn’t you tell me she was your wife? 19 Why did you say, ‘She’s my sister,’ so that I made her my wife? Now, here’s your wife. Take her and go!” 20 Pharaoh gave his men orders concerning Abram, and they expelled him with his wife and everything he had. — Genesis 12 | Common English Bible (CEB) Common English Bible Copyright © 2011 by Common English Bible.

Alistair: "I am. not. doing that."

Ceb, busting it down while blushing: "I-I know it's awkward but- j-just trust me! I feel like we can win the fight this way!"

Alistair: "I am. NOT. doing that."

Spamton, defiantly doing the chicken dance: "WHATS THE MATTER [pest control]?? DONT HAVE THE [required] [junk] TO [shake n' bake]??"

Alistair: "...what?!"

Spamton: "YOU HEARD ME, [cat food]!! SHAKE YOUR [trunk sale] SO WE CAN REACH [epic win!!1!!]!! OR ARE YOU [being afraid]?!"

Alistair, glaring hatefully: "..."

Spamton: "..."

Ceb: "..."

The siren stared at the ask for a moment, his freckled face turning a bright pink, as he awkwardly fiddled with a stray lock of hair between his clawed fingers.

“Uh— I, wellllll,” Ceb stuttered over his words at first, which only made him go redder and redder the more he fumbled. Eventually, although by that point he was rather aggravated with himself, the fluffy haired brunette answered.

“I’d marry Alistair. He’s my mate, anyway, so by human terms we technically already are.” Ceb stated that fact proudly before becoming rather sheepish.

“An-And, I, um, I can Appreciate that Felonious is rather impressive in terms of, y’know, attractiveness, and-uh, p-prowess— Soooo… If I Have to pick, to do that, not that I WOULD, it would be Felly.” As soon he finished speaking, Ceb lost all his previous nervousness to snarl at the ask, his ocean eyes narrowed, becoming angry slitted pins, as he spat out his last answer in disgust.

“And as for That— That Thing, if I EVER see that pathetic little parasite ANYWHERE N E A R MY MATE AGAIN, I’LL USE HIS BONES AS GIFTS FOR ALISTAIR TO ADOURN HIMSELF WITH.” It was clear the merman was not yet over what happened during Alistair’s kidnapping.

This is a tale of two friends, me, Miss Claire Elizabeth Beauchamp, and Jamie, full name: James Alexander Malcolm Mackenzie Fraser.

We have been friends since elementary school. Best friends.

Throughout our childhood and adolescence, we had mended each other's bikes, nursed each other's wounds, and trusted only each other with our deepest, darkest secrets. He even helped me get over the multitude of broken hearts I found myself facing all too frequently throughout high school, all while seeming completely disinterested in finding love for himself.

Together, we had made it through the perils of the sand pits, the ups and downs of high school and now, we were navigating the adult world of university side by side.

But over the past year - our second year of university and living independently in Glasgow - me, in an on-campus dorm, and Jamie, off-campus with our friend, John, something had changed.

I had been dating Frank, a history major a few years ahead of us for almost nine months, when Jamie began seeing a mutual friend, Geillis. And when I say seeing, I mean fucking.

I didn’t know why, but it bothered me immensely. I should be happy for him, finally having fun and finding romance with a nice girl like Geillis, but I wasn’t, I hated it.

Ceb: "Kidar?"

Kidar: "yea?"

Ceb: "What does 'Dilf ' mean?"

Kidar: "....."
