3 " You were raised in a world of nobility. You know a world I do not. You know what forks to use in a formal setting, and you do not hesitate in battle. But I was raised in a world you cannot fathom....I was raised in a world where I had thousands of friends, each one waiting for me on a shelf everyday. While you practiced with bow and sword, I read.

8 " He pressed his lips to her forehead. “Take care, lest I have to burn the Crossroads to the ground in a rage.”
