He was also strong and athletic. That didn’t mean much to August, but he’d heard girls talking about it in the hallway.
Emily
LOL love to walk down a hallway and hear a bunch of girls gush about how "he's soooo strong and athletic"

He was trying to get through Rand’s The Fountainhead, but that prospect was looking bleak.

Jack put the needle down and admired his work. He wiped a wet cloth across August’s new tattoo. His name right under the first knob of August’s spine. Small. Perfect. Neat.

“Every part of the human condition is packaged neatly in fairy tales. Every bit of culture that makes us who we are.” She tutted at him. “When I was a girl, such things were regarded with respect.”
Emily
"When I was a girl?" WTF is she talking about? She is 18 years old and it is the year 2003

Based on what he’d described, wherever Jack was, was somewhere in the East around the heyday of the Silk Road, maybe earlier. At least that was about the level of technological advancement that there was to deal with. Jack had taken objects from this other world and stashed them in the corner of his room. He described them in detail; some had parallel histories here. For a while, August suspected that it wasn’t so much where Jack was but when Jack was.

“They say that if your milkbeasts get lost in the wild woods, you should just leave them there.
Emily
MY milkbeasts are a valuable part of my herds and I would never abandon them to their fates. NEVER you hear me?

“Call me ‘sire.’ Honor your king.” August just laughed. Jack slammed him down hard with a strong hand on his back. Oh. So it was like that.

August punched him in the face. He hauled Jack’s father inside and smashed him against the wall, scrunching the older man’s sweater in his fists. “Where have you been, you son of a bitch?”
Emily
Yeah this did not happen

“I never said I didn’t feel the same,” Jack said harshly. “Just because I don’t see the kingdom doesn’t mean it doesn’t still exist,” Jack said furiously.
