She closed her eyes, and leaned her head against his. He smelled of her lavender soap—her expensive lavender soap that she’d once warned him to never use again. He probably had no idea what soap she’d even been scolding him about. She’d have to start hiding her beloved toiletries and leave out something inexpensive for him. Sam wouldn’t be able to tell the difference, anyway.
This is the beginning of many comments on money in Sam and Celaena's relationship. But this comment in particular, us seeing inside Celaena's thought process about her soap, gives me the ick for Celaena. "My expensive soap," emphasis on expensive. It's giving spoiled rich kid- but then again, she was that at one point. Celaena is a tiny bit insufferable as a character and one of the things Maas does is to make Celaena aware of her insufferable qualities to an extent, but it doesn't make me like her more. This was just one of those times that I remember how I would never date her myself.
