A SMALL CHUCKLE refused to be contained as George settled in a chair beside his son-in-law. His large palm landed on Nawat’s back a few times. ❛ No? Well, that’s lucky. You never know how important sleep is ‘till you father children and your wife’s too grumpy t’get up in the middle of the night. I think Alanna eventually learned how t’tune them out. Quite scary, actually. ❜

The thumping on his back from his father-in-law sent him rocking a bit more than it would usually, but he offered the man a weary smile to show no harm meant. “I think I have already learned the value of sleep, but I don’t think Aly will ever learn how to tune them out. Someone once said she sleeps with one eye open, and I think that’s still true.”

I’m not complaining. I love being incredible. But do I ever wonder what it would be like to be less incredible? Of course I think deep stuff like that. I’m incredible.

“I discovered [that acting was my passion in life] when I was watching the Dark Knight. When it came out, I was like ‘Wow, this is great!’ I always wanted to act but that was when I started taking it very serious. Then, I looked back and that was the first actor that I started paying attention to.” (x)(x)

You think I’m blind? You think I can’t smell it? You think I can’t hear it? The stench of filth and lust is all over this room! What happened here?

Ulasim, to Aly and Nawat (via incorrect-tortall-quotes)

Aly: Hate to see you leave, but I love to look at that butt.

Nawat: No, that’s not how that phrase goes.

Aly: It is. That’s how it goes.

The crows own this place. I’ve seen them swarm upon and kill a damned hawk.

Jump snorted. A wager brought you two together, then, eh? He couldn’t help but try to imaigne what their courting had been like, with Nawat being a crow and Aly a human. Had the bird shown off with his plumage? Or tried to feed her bugs? That must’ve been a shock.

Nawat arched an eyebrow, not sure if the dog teased him or not, but he grinned anyway. It seemed just the perfect sort of way for he and his mate to meet, and he honestly couldn’t be angry that it had happened that way. “Yes.”

The look on his face showed that he did not understand, but she shrugged it off, just glad that he hadn’t thought her cracked. It would have been worse if her stutter, the bane of her existence had returned as she said it. “Thank you.” She said with a slight nod, keeping what she said to small pieces of speech, to save herself from stuttering. As pigeons gathered, she reached into a pocket to pull out dried corn and bread crumbs, spreading them across the ground for the birds.

Nawat tilted his head as he listened to the speech of the birds as they arrived, a smile curling the corners of his eyes. “They like you,” he reported serenely, turning his attention back to his fletching. “You treat them with respect--few do that.” His fingers moved carefully, his attention focused on his work even though he spoke to the strange girl
