Why did Mother ask you to help me rescue Gelsi? I asked Leif. She thought I could assist you in some way. Instead, I had tried to- Kill me? You can join the 'I Want to Kill Yelena Guild.'

Valek coalesced from the shadows and wrapped me in his long lean arms. I soaked in his musky smell, listening to his heart beat. Strong and steady. No indication that he had been sneaking around.

Skewer is just too vague. I think if you say, ’Stand back or I’ll stab him in the stomach,’ then I have an idea about how serious you are. After all, Leif’s stomach is his favorite body part so that’s a decent threat.

There's always another storm. It's the way the world works. Snowstorms, rainstorms, windstorms, sandstorms, and firestorms. Some are fierce and others are small. You have to deal with each one separately, but you need to keep an eye on whats brewing for tomorrow.

I didn't expect a knife, though. Is it the one missing from the kitchen? Did Rand report it? I felt betrayed. Why hadn't he just asked for it back? No. It just makes sense to keep track of large kitchen knives, so when one goes missing you're not surprised when someone attacks you with it.

No, I said. I'm not safe, Belen. Who is going to tear Kerrick's arm off if he hits me again? Come on, I urged. Stay with us.

Everyone grieves in different ways. For some, it could take longer or shorter. I do know it never disappears. An ember still smolders inside me. Most days, I don’t notice it, but, out of the blue, it’ll flare to life.

I'm glad you're here. We've had some...interesting developments. Leif groaned. That's Yelena-speak for life-threatening danger.

Everyone makes choices in life. Some bad, some good. It's called living, and if you want to bow out, then go right ahead. But don't do it halfway. Don't linger in whiner's limbo.
