Sweep of the Heart (Innkeeper Chronicles, #5)

“Sorry,” Sean breathed into my ear. “That wasn’t cool.” “It was a little bit cool.” “No.” “Admit it, you were impressed.” I shook my head. He laughed and there was no better sound.

“Âme sentinelle, Murmurons l'aveu De la nuit si nulle Et du jour en feu. Des humains suffrages, Des communs élans Là tu te dégages Et voles selon.”

“I require attentions,” Cyanide announced. “All of them.” Kosandion raised his eyebrows. “And the brush,” Cyanide said. Whatever made this date go smoothly. I reached out, and Gertrude Hunt pulled one of the brushes from the stables. They were soft with dense bristles, originally designed for the beasts of burden the Merchants sometimes brought with them, and I had sterilized them after each use. The brush landed in my hand, and I began working through Cyanide’s fur. Her eyes widened, flashing dangerous gold, then half closed, and she turned her head, presenting me with the corner of her jaw. Just like Olasard. Except he barely weighed seventeen pounds. If this went on for too much longer, my legs would go numb. Silence ensued. Cyanide made a soft rumble in her throat. It was too deep to be a purr and not violent enough to be a roar, more like an internal contented cough. “Do you wish to tell me of your planet?” Kosandion asked. “No.”

LMFAO she just wants to be petted like a kitten

“The Sovereign asked his sister for help for the very last time. And she came.” “Of course, I came. He was my baby brother,” Caldenia said quietly. “In the end, family is all we have.”

The woman turned to me. Oh crap, crap, crap, crap. “You!” the Costco lady squeaked.

pfffff noooo!! LMFAO

“I finally caught you.” “You silly fool,” she whispered back.

aaaaawww h0w adorable!!

“Of course,” Sean said. It was a Tuhl portal. Because why not?

LMFAO of course.

“Barsa. Barsa-barsa, barsa.” “Oh. ‘Prepare to be eaten.’” “That’s not better, Dina.”

oh, hilarious. the groots of this universe

“I brought it here for you.” What? “Do you still not see? Look around you. Does it not look familiar? Does it not feel like home?”

noooo!!! this is her parents home! her parent's INN

The root clutching me split. A thin green sprout spiraled out of it, beautiful and free of corruption. It broke free, a little branch with a single leaf on it, and I caught it. With the last pulse of its core, Magnolia Green hurled us into the portal.

her childhood in saved her 😭😭😭

“This is…” he said. “Daesyn,” Sean finished for him. “Home planet of House Krahr.”
