The Orchid Throne Quotes

“As Ejarat claimed Sawehl, unlike Herself and yet like, do you promise to take into your being the entirety of one who is not yourself, with all their flaws and virtues, ugliness and beauty, weaknesses and strengths?” “I do,” I confirmed first, tilting my head at Con, giving him the challenge. He pressed his lips together as if tempted to retort. “I do,” he replied immediately, emphasizing it as if his would be the more difficult task. My turn to narrow my eyes. He actually grinned at me. “As Sawehl claimed Ejarat, unlike Himself and yet like, do you promise to nurture and shelter the other, to protect and support, to shed your light so that they might find their best path in life?” Our gazes still locked, I smiled back at Con. Challenge accepted then.”
