62 " Hey, slow breaths,” Cassia said. Solara hadn’t realized she was gasping. “Right. Sorry.” “If you faint among pirates, don’t bother waking up.” Oh god. That was not helpful. "

63 " The washroom door swung open, and all thoughts of pirates vanished. A tall boy walked inside, dressed in black clothes at least two sizes too tight. His cherry-red hair stood in haphazard spikes, and his eyes were heavily lined in kohl. If a rock star had an affair with a circus clown, this guy would be the result. It took a few moments to recognize him as Doran. "
64 " Demarkus invites you to join his table.” Solara’s prideful grin faltered. She wanted nothing to do with Demarkus. Besides, nobody had told her about pirate dinner protocol. She might use the wrong fork and start a war. "
65 " When you preach hatred, how do you expect your followers to respond? "

66 " The girl’s pilot.” “And her lover,” Demarkus added. “No.” The clarity of Doran’s voice surprised even himself. He glanced at Solara and said, “Her friend.” It felt strange calling himself that, but if combat with a seven-foot-tall pirate chief didn’t upgrade them to friends, nothing would. "
67 " Ah, yes. Love—the great equalizer. It makes all of us stupid. "
68 " In that moment, he wondered how he'd ever believed she was anything less than spectacular. "
69 " In the outer realm, settlers didn't care about supple skin or glossy pink hair. Practical skills were the real beauty in those colonies, and for once, she would be stunning. "
70 " He backed away and told her to dream of speculums. She assumed he meant sugarplums. "
71 " Come in here and take notes for me.” Solara didn’t move.A rustling of blankets sounded from the other room, followed by a heavy sigh. “Stay there,” he grumbled. “I’ll get dressed and come to you. But for future reference, anyone who stinks like a toolshed is safe from my advances. "
72 " Look what I made for you. A bowl of diabetes" -Aelyx "

73 " I've always wanted to be a journalist, but what am I going to do? Write articles about which movie star had the fat sucked from her ass and injected into her face? Which professional athlete just confessed to shooting steroids? The last celebrity baby names?" Cara lowered both brows in frustration. "Who cares? "

75 " Humans would ruin it, just as they’d destroyed so many of their own natural wonders. "
76 " I have a question.Would you rather be a servant in someone’s home and have all your needs provided for, or serve no one and exist in total poverty?”“The second one, I guess.”“Not me,” Solara said. “I’ve had a peek behind door number two, so I’d pick the first one.”“Ditto,” Doran answered. “I’m too pretty to be poor.

77 " You forgot your dress," Renny said, staring straight ahead while he white-knuckled the control wheel and jettisoned toward the security checkpoint. "Never let anyone tell you," she panted, "that I don't know how to make an exit. "
78 " You would sell your own people?" the captain asked, not sounding surprised."Better a life of servitude than death by starvation. "
79 " It takes a big man to trust a thief," Renny agreed "
80 " Biology doesn't make anyone a parent," Cassia added as she tucked her Eturian prayer stone beneath her shirt. "
