but they were just looking at me. Because my features, my manners are too fine, my head too tall. Three years stuck in Fallow, and I still don’t walk hunched over the way they do. My shoulders refuse to slump from burden. When I try to fake it, the pretty little innkeeper always squints and asks if I’m “deep in my cups”—their term for drunk.
mistressswoop
The praise is real!

She’d been sipping out of that water glass right before the count took it from her. If it had tabernacle poison in it, she should be dead.

Victory lights up inside of me as Royo raises his arms and punches the air. Then he remembers he’s Royo—the man who hates everything and can never be happy because he made mistakes in the past.

Ty nods to himself a single time and sighs. He pushes back his shoulders. “I’ve loved you since I first saw you, Sora. When you were only nine but you faced armed men with your chin up and tried to hide Daysum behind you. I fell for your beauty, of course—I’m human—but it was your spirit that did me in. Your capacity to love is deeper than the West Sea. You’re honest. You’re true. You are everything.”
mistressswoop
