Bound Quotes

“Mari pulled her dagger out of its sheath and pointedly inspected the edge. She tossed the dagger into the air, the steel flashing and spinning, then deftly caught it by the handle. 'Who says the damsel needs saving?' she asked as she slid the dagger back into its sheath at her thigh.
'Fine,' Ruv grumbled. 'I'll toss her a weapon instead.”
― M. A. I. Murray, Bound

“Mari could have sworn she saw them nod to each other, a practically imperceptible dip of their heads, and then the air around them shimmered and blurred. The black fur melted away, the limbs morphing, the spines shrinking and straightening.”
― M. A. I. Murray, Bound

“The sword is bound to me,' Mari explained calmly as she knelt to retrieve it. 'I am the only one who can wield it. Same goes for that bow--it's bound to Gren. We are not thieves or smugglers or servants to anyone, lanti or not. We walk our own path. We're the Destined.'
'And Ruv,' Ruv added.
'The Destined and Ruv,' Mari repeated.”
