Record of Blood Quotes

“Which viper should we start with?” “I intend to talk to Jin. Now that we know more, perhaps she’ll confirm his story, or at least deny it.” “That’s harsh, Riot. I wouldn’t call her a viper, precisely.

That I’m too charming?” “I suppose, for now.” Her voice held a smile, and she leaned into him as they walked. “Now what have you decided about me?” “That I love you.” The words were calm and matter-of-fact, leaving no doubt, but then she already knew it in her heart. Those three words were simply an answer; not a declaration. “You must be delirious.”

Tim looked at her, eyes dancing with wild amusement. “This ain’t our first dance, girl.” He stomped over to a bench, shrugged into a heavy coat, stuck bare feet in rubber boots, and slipped through the doors. Isobel looked at Riot. “He’s forgot his trousers.” “Not the first time.” He sounded tired, defeated.”

“Mack snorted. “I can tell you don’t think very highly of me.” “Do you blame me?” He chuckled. “I can be charming.” “I thought you were already making the attempt,” she retorted. “That tongue of yours makes up for your ‘run over by a wagon’ appearance.” “I’m flattered.” She smiled, and meant it.”

“As children, she and Lotario had tried to follow their older brothers everywhere. Merrik and Vicilia were particularly plagued. And in their efforts to keep the twins at home, the brothers had taken to tying them up whenever they were ready to sneak out. As a result, Lotario and Isobel had learned to escape almost everything. Eventually.”
