Quote

I imbue this place with my essence, every stone and every drop. My visit will do wonders for the flowers. Aly propped her chin on her hand. So does manure, she observed.

Once she was certain, she didn't waiver. I had to make her stop for water or a bite to eat. She obeyed, but she was restless. As clear as if she spoke to me, she was saying, Very well, I know you want to keep my strength up, but scent fades, you know! And I'd say, I know, girl, buy you're what I have and I'm going to take care of you.

Frostpine made a face. Lifting the cup, he dumped its contents down his throat. “Auugghh!” he yelled, his voice stronger than it had been since his return from the harbor. Are you trying to kill me, woman? If I mean to kill someone, I do it, Rosethorn told him. I don't try.

Someday I must read this scholar Everyone. He seems to have written so much--all of it wrong.

Why does this mean so much to you, Jon? The Prince turned. Because he's my friend. Because I always know where he stands, and where I stand with him. Because I think he'd die for me and--and I think I'd die for him. Is that enough?

These mages, Kol asked, a wicked glint in his eye, what kind of fees will they charge? Will I get a two-for-one discount, since they're twins?

It's been interesting, Frostpine said casually. I wanted Daja to get some experience of other smiths'-and other mages'- ways of doing things, if only so she can see mine is best.
