“I’m fine,” I choke out. “No worries.” “No worries?” She cocks her head, peering down at me. “Tarquin better pray not to be paired with me next training session.” I smile at her. “Yeah.”
“Pixie.” A line forms between his eyebrows as he stares at me. “Nia, what are you doing here?”

“What happened to your leg? You were limping when I first saw you, and you’re favoring your right leg.” “I sprained my ankle jumping into a train car from the roof.” “You did what?” “That’s how I got here,” I say. “I took the Gobannos train. It was the only way I could make it here on time. But I didn’t have a ticket, so I had to board the train through the roof.” “Why do I feel like you’ll be the death of me?” he mutters, and kneels down.
You nearly died, Nia. When we get back, you’ll need a lot more training before I’m willing to let you risk your life again.”
The door bursts open, and Raphael charges in. Blinded with pain, I fall to my knees. The mage whirls, and my thoughts become hazy, drowned by the horror of my lacerated stomach. I try to speak and taste blood on my lips. Raphael slashes the mage’s throat. My vision blurs as he kneels by my side and curls his powerful arms around me. “I’ve got you, love. Don’t worry, I’ve got you.” I try to answer, but I can’t breathe. I can’t move. And I can feel my life fading away.
period
You’re a spoiled, selfish girl who grew up in dissolute chaos, and as a consequence, you know nothing of the real world, or of war, or of what it means to make sacrifices for other people. As far as you’re concerned, this is all a game.”
he's giving her emotions to feed off of to break the veil. hes known how shes been doin it the whole time?!
“From what I can tell now, trash is a perfectly accurate description.”
i hate u and i LOVE you at the same time Raphael
Right now, I’m a raging tempest churning the lake waters. I’m the sword forged in fire beneath its surface.
To some people, arrogance comes just as naturally as breathing. And in reality, Raphael, I saved your ass more than once, you egomaniacal, solipsistic, stuck-up prick. Do not speak to me again unless it’s an order. Unless it’s life or death. You’re not good enough to speak to me, and you never were.”
“Sorry to disappoint.” I raise my own voice. “But maybe your veil mage sucks. Everyone connected to you is here by virtue of nepotism.”

“You knew about this,” Wrythe hisses at Raphael. “About what?” Raphael quirks an eyebrow. So now he has my back? Dickhead.
HEHE
part of me wondered if his outburst was calculated. Did he know that making me angry would bring out my power? But when he failed to show up at any point to explain himself, I realized that might be false hope.
u right girl
“The man followed us because he enjoyed staring at your arse, for which I can’t blame him. The woman avoided looking at us because she had a recent breakup and seeing a loving couple makes her want to scream.” “How can you tell that the woman had a breakup?” “Because I know how heartbreak looks,” he says darkly. I sigh. “If only she knew the truth about us.”
“What’s this?” I ask. “I remember you saying you liked lavender cake, and I saw some in the bakery.” He takes the spyglass from me and starts staring out the window. I take the box and sit on the bed, scooting back cross-legged. I pull the string on the box, unwrapping it. “You got me cake?” I’m still confused. This doesn’t square with his rant about not liking me. “Why?” “Because you said you liked it. You told me you ordered the lavender cake, but you got blackberry.” I stare at his large back, stunned. “That was six months ago.” “Right.”
he loves u Nia.
“You never replied to any of the letters I left in your room.” My breath goes shallow. “What letters?” “The letters that I have been writing to you every day since your final trial,” he says slowly.
