Quote

Don't let him upset you, Niko told the four softly. He's old and he's frightened. You're as old as him, and you aren't scared of us, Briar pointed out. Niko glared at him. Thank you so much, he retorted waspishly.

Men broke into their homes, killed their families, threatened you--and you won't let them do anything for fear you'll be hurt. That's selfish. How would you like it if I took your bow and said I cared too much about you to let you fight?

Yes Headwoman Azaze. But I never lie to Rosethorn. She, um, discourages it. Evvy and I have an understanding. She grabbed the teakettle and poured hot water into the mug. She tells me the truth, and I don't hang her in the first well we come to. It's a solution that works tolerably well for both of us.

It's always better to attack than to defend, Coram had told her when they talked about fencing late at night. Always. Ye don't win with defense--ye only hold the other feller off, or wear him down. Attack and have done with it!
