    “Theo knew enough about women and their clothes to recognize she was trying to strike an appropriate balance between... what? Between liking him and hating him? Between wanting to look good and not wanting to look too available? Just because he knew a mixed message when he saw one didn't mean he knew exactly which messages were being mixed”

    “-You're pretty hard-boiled, Tinker Bell.
    -Call me that name again and you'll be wondering how your bollocks wound up lodged in your windpipe--from below. Just because we don't get to your side of things much anymore doesn't mean we don't know anything. 'If you believe in fairies, clap your hands!' If you believe in fairies, kiss my rosy pink arse is more like it. Now are you going to shut your gob or not?”

    “Stairs. This is Hell. Hell is stairs, was all Theo could think. I'd sell my soul for a goddamn elevator.

    “Cauthon lives," Arganda said. "And that's bloody amazing, considering that someone blew up his command post, set fire to his tenet, killed a bunch of his damane, and chased off his wife. Cauthon crawled out of it somehow."

    “Demandred blocked Lan's attack but he breathed hoarsely. "Who are you?" Demandred whispered again. "No one of this Age has such skill. Asmodean? No, no. He couldn't have fought me like this. Lews Therin? It is you behind that face, isn't it?"
    "I am just a man," Lan whispered. "That is all I have ever been.”

    “You didn't listen to me," Lan whispered. One last lesson. The hardest. Demandred struck, and Lan saw his opening. Lan lunged forward placing Demandred's sword point against his own side and ramming himself forward onto it.
    "I did not come here to win," Lan whispered, smiling. "I came here to kill you. Death is lighter than a feather."
    Demandred's eyes opened wide, and he tried to pull back. Too late. Lan's sword took him straight though the throat.”

    The talent. Not the curse. The talent.”

    “We are not going to die."

    Butters stared up at me, pale, his eyes terrified. "We're not?"

    "No. And do you know why?" He shook his head. "Because Thomas is too pretty to die. And because I'm too stubborn to die." I hauled on the shirt even harder. "And most of all because tomorrow is Oktoberfest, Butters, and polka will never die.”

    “Da. This is going very well already."

    Thomas barked out a laugh. "There are seven of us against the Red King and his thirteen most powerful nobles, and it's going well?"

    Mouse sneezed.

    "Eight," Thomas corrected himself. He rolled his eyes and said, "And the psycho death faerie makes it nine."

    "It is like movie," Sanya said, nodding. "Dibs on Legolas."

    "Are you kidding?" Thomas said. "I'm obviously Legolas. You're . . ." He squinted thoughtfully at Sanya and then at Martin. "Well. He's Boromir and you're clearly Aragorn."

    "Martin is so dour, he is more like Gimli." Sanya pointed at Susan. "Her sword is much more like Aragorn's."

    "Aragorn wishes he looked that good," countered Thomas.

    "What about Karrin?" Sanya asked.

    "What--for Gimli?" Thomas mused. "She is fairly--"

    "Finish that sentence, Raith, and we throw down," said Murphy in a calm, level voice.

    "Tough," Thomas said, his expression aggrieved. "I was going to say 'tough.' "

    As the discussion went on--with Molly's sponsorship, Mouse was lobbying to claim Gimli on the basis of being the shortest, the stoutest, and the hairiest--

    "Sanya," I said. "Who did I get cast as?"

    "Sam," Sanya said.

    I blinked at him. "Not . . . Oh, for crying out loud, it was perfectly obvious who I should have been."

    Sanya shrugged. "It was no contest. They gave Gandalf to your godmother. You got Sam.”
