Quotes edit see section history

• ““Kaldar lay on a low ridge, wearing one of the Mirror’s night suits. The fabric, painted with swirls in a dozen shades of gray, hugged his body, formfitting but too elastic to hinder his movements. With the hoot hiding his hair and his face painted gray and black, he supposed he resembled a ninja.It was good that nobody could see him because he looked completely ridiculous.””

• ““Are you coming?”“No, just breathing hard, love.””

• “"Did I ever tell you that you are like sunshine in the middle of the night?"”

  Kaldar Mar

• “"You enjoyed it. It made you feel alive. You were looking kind of green." You bastard. "Oh, so it was a lifesaving kiss." "Well, if you want to put it that way ..." and...”

  Kaldar Mar

• “"Cajun stomp?" "You heard me, swamper. And keep your hands to yourself."””

• “I want honesty and loyalty, and I want to give loyalty and love in return. For once in my life, I want to be able to trust someone without having to double-check, and keep an eye on him, and worry if he’s lying to me. I still want to have fun, but I want to be loved, Kaldar. Really loved. Life is too short, and I want to experience that before I die.
