Galladon paused for a moment, then laughed. Does nothing frighten you, sule? Actually, pretty much everything here does—I'm just good at ignoring the fact that I'm terrified. If I ever realize how scared I am, you'll probably find me trying to hide under those cobblestones over there.
Brandon Sanderson
