"Asterion, I meant what I said the night I was taken. I don't care what you are, or that Pithos is going to keep on coming. I…love you. I'm never going to be some tame housewife or gentle-natured lover. I'm always going to be argumentative, and I'll probably make you want to wring my neck at least once a week, but I'm not going anywhere until you tell me to go."
