I don't write from dreams because I don't remember mine, but I had a fragment of an image left about twins, whose father was telling them how their lives were going to go for the next eight years. I wrote a scene about that, and then another and then another and then another, and after five months I had 732 pages.

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.

Wouldn't-- Kel began to say, but the words stuck in her mouth. She swallowed and tried again. Wouldn't it be well, not nice to flirt with somebody you don't want to fall in love with?

I'm sick of this. Call me what you like, say I'm without honor, I don't care. I'm not getting on any more horses to whack you people with a stick.

You know, ogres only sound stupid. Most are pretty smart. And it's a shallow person who judges anyone by the way they sound. I'm so shallow I'm surprised I don't reflect myself.

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?

She rides as a man, goes unveiled as a man, fights as a man. Let her prove herself worthy as a man, worthy of her weapons and of our friendship.
