“You’re distracting me.”  “Apologies. I don’t mean to be distracting, but it’s difficult to avoid when you’re as attractive as I am.”  She bit her lip to suppress a smile. “Gods, shut up.”  “You may avert your eyes if you need to.”  “Avert your tongue, why don’t you?”  “I’d like to avert it into your mouth.”

Water from his sodden clothes splashed on the stone floor. “Not leering. But they’re… there, sometimes, obviously. I’m around women frequently, you know. There are plenty of women in the Ysuran military. It’s not like the Ardanian army. And there are times when we’re bathing, or changing, or what have you.” “So this is a story about how you stare at your subordinates’ tits while they’re changing?” He glared.”

“Then we will have to find another exit. The people who lived here had to have had some way to access the surface.”  “I think that was the exit,” Kadaki said. “In the sinkhole by the house. That looked like the front door.”  “Then there must be a back door. They wouldn’t build an underground city with only one door; it’s a hazard.” “The Auren-Li were mages. Maybe they used magic to shift themselves in and out. You don’t need doors if you can do that.”  “You’re an absolute ray of sunshine.”
― Nina K. Westra, Sun Elves of Ardani

“Tell me about your husband,” he said. There was a reserved sharpness in his voice, like he was trying to sound less annoyed than he really was.  “He’s wonderful,” Kadaki said. “He’s the kindest, most generous, most attractive man I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing.”
