1 " Shad whistled an airless tune. “Remember, if I need to accidentally-on-purpose kill the dastard, you only have to say the word. "
― Honor Raconteur , Warlords Reigning (Advent Mage Cycle #9)
2 " She tried untying the laces of her boots but they fought back, the vicious fiends, and she ended up with her fingers caught in the laces. "
3 " Please, please don’t touch it, it will keep you captive for about two days if you do. There’s little creatures running around in the city that look like furry eggs with tails called Fuzzies. They’re perfectly harmless, cute little fluffballs that get into everything. And I do mean everything. Safeguard your snacks carefully. "
4 " If someone had warned her just how much paperwork went into running a country, Becca would have come up with a Plan B. Nolan surely knew, right? As a friend, shouldn’t he have warned them? "
5 " Sumi consoled him, “We’ll find a nice girl for you.” Mose, striding along behind them, choked on a poorly disguised laugh. Trev’nor thought about pointing out that at only seventeen, soon to be eighteen, he had all of the time in the world to find a nice person, and that he already had his eye on someone. "
6 " Ah, but that’s different, darling. When you’re sneaking, doors can be friends. When you’re fighting, they are not. Very capricious things, doors. "
7 " Eyeing his magic level—which could handle healing a thunder of dragons—she drawled, “Riiiight.” Shad drew Nolan in for a quick hug. “You’re my favorite. "
8 " Maybe try diplomacy first?” Trev’nor requested wearily. “Now, now, Trev. When someone is selling a fight so hard, it’s rude not to buy it,” she chided him with a demented cheerfulness that reminded him strongly of Shad. "
9 " I’ll do it,” Becca volunteered, still firmly not moving. She had purring creatures to think of, after all. "
10 " You have to look at some of it and say to yourself, can I fix this? Can I do anything about this? And if the answer is no, you force yourself to set it back down. But sometimes you have to realize that you don’t need to do anything. What that person needed from you most was your attention. They needed you to listen. The act of listening can be incredibly healing. "
11 " Your meurittas are braiding people’s heads together and apparently enjoying their reactions when they can’t untangle themselves. Shad is encouraging this. "
