racist AND sexist! Prolly homophobic too

“So was her assistant.”

Fuckin gay

Of course I’d been anxious about getting caught with the alcohol, but those guards hadn’t been much of a threat. They were just a couple of men with a little bit of authority who thought they could push people around.

who told me that I would lead a tragically short life but would find a great love—we

Uhhhhhhh fuck

“Sure, but after food and lodging and travel, the girls who dance for her always end up owing more than they earn.” She sighed. “That’s why I’m risking my neck sneaking booze into the fair.”

Why is she literally inej coded i feel like im reading fanfic

Lucia sat on a low chair and massaged her leg. In all our years together, she’d never told me what had happened. I’d seen the scars that looked like someone had scooped out a handful of her thigh, but she’d never offered to explain, and I’d never asked.
