He Who Fights with Monsters 5 (He Who Fights with Monsters, #5)

“Little Miss?” Emi asked, nostrils flaring. “Do I look like the protagonist of a book written by a nice English lady in the fifties?

“I’m not the guy who saves the world. I’m the comic relief sidekick.”

“Uncle Jason, don’t be a dick. They know you’ll wipe out their whole clan if anything happens to me. You don’t have to rub their noses in it.”

The opposite of good is easy. That may have been the moral of the last Harry Potter book, now that I think about it. Anyway, people don’t do bad things because there is some antagonistic force driving them to sin. They do them because when the right thing is hard, making little compromises doesn’t seem so bad. A shortcut here, a little selfishness when no one will ever know. Every step makes the next one a little easier.”
