“I have lots of elders,”
“Not enough to keep you off the Threshing field,” Tairn grumbles. “Feathertails don’t bond because their power is too unpredictable. Unstable.”
“The same way you wouldn’t hand a toddler your signet, would you, wingleader?”
“Exactly. Bonding too young allows them to give their gift directly, and a rider could easily drain them and burn out.”
“That’s why I chose you.”
“Of course, you wouldn’t know. Feathertails aren’t supposed to be seen,”
“Which is why you can’t tell anyone what she is,” Sgaeyl says. “Hopefully she’ll mature once you’re out of the quadrant, and the elders are already placing more…stringent protections on the feathertails.”
“I made time stop.”
“But only for a little bit.”
“I’d take your hands off the rider,”
“And now we can stop it.”
“Kill us.”
“But I know you won’t.”
“I’ll do my best to b...

“He’s right,”
“They can’t find out. And there’s no saying how long you’ll have the ability. Most feathertail gifts disappear with maturity when they begin to channel.”

“Do you have to?”
“This is our way.”
“I let someone live once, and he almost killed you last night, Silver One,”
“Justice is not always merciful.”
King Tauri’s
“Then I was sent to Tirvainne to be fostered by Duke Lindell, the same as Riorson. My little sister was sent elsewhere.”
He nods. “She’s only a year younger than me, though, so I’ll get to see her when she enters the quadrant next year. She’s strong, quick, and has good balance. She’ll make it.” The edge of panic in his tone reminds me of Mira.
The conditions at Sumerton are of particular concern. A village was ransacked and a supply convoy looted last night— “What does it say?” Liam asks.
“Good gods, please go eat something.” “The same could be suggested to you,”
“Such a morning person, aren’t you?”
“Thank you. Andarna?”
“Still sleeping. She’ll be out another few days after using that much power.”
“I heard that.”
“Then stay out of my head.”
“Don’t be an ass.”
“They show the appropriate level of deference,”
“To what they think I’ll be, not who I am.”
“That shows excellent forethought.”
“So can you.”
“Don’t you have better things to do with your day than listen in on my self-loathing?”
“Not particularly. Now pay ...

“Not entirely,”
“No comments from you, not after you almost let me hit the side of a mountain today.”
