Consort's Glory Quotes

“Margot’s struggles paused as she processed that thought. It’s… play.  That’s what the elvish blood wanted: a partner to play with, to test, to fight and know, without any doubt, that they would never, ever hurt them. It wasn’t weird, or unnatural. It was just… courtship.”

“I honestly have no idea why I said you could stay.” She breathed deep, her chest rising and falling slowly, as if she wanted to get as much air in her lungs as possible, to keep it there for as long as she could. “My grandmother would be appalled. I’m appalled.” Theodore couldn’t stop his grin. Was she always so proper? It tickled him to think so.”

“She wasn’t lying when she told Theodore she could multi-task.  Margot was perfectly capable of freaking out and sealing cracked bone at the same time.”
