1 " For a moment, she didn't know how to answer him. This was why she didn't like to help people, curse it. Because they looked at her like that, with absolute faith & trust, as if she could somehow solve all the problems in the world when in reality she couldn't. In reality, it took every ounce of skill, every bit of knowledge she possessed, to keep the ones around her alive without somehow blundering & messing everything up. Prodigy was not synonymous with perfect. Didn't anyone realize just how fallible she really was? "
― Honor Raconteur , The Child Prince (The Artifactor, #1)
2 " In fairytales, the prince always charges in on a white stallion, sword held aloft, and goes into a glorious battle that somehow solves all problems. The story never tells of the calculations he has to do, or all of the people he has to win over first, or the money troubles he has. It’s always some grand quest, or adventure, or battle that he has to go through to win the day. Right now, I’d rather have that grand quest or battle.” “Bellomi. "

No matter how many times she told him that she didn't want to be bothered, or that she had no interest in helping people, he still showed up with work. If not for the fact that childhood friends were rather difficult to replace, she would have strangled him & buried his body in the woods years ago.Well, that and the fact his mother would no doubt make her bring him back from the dead. Again. "

5 " vast understatement, that. Sometimes Bellomi didn’t know what had helped them more, Sevana’s magical expertise, or Morgan’s business connections. "
