- So... Cal? Of all the most untalented people, you picked my brother? Mare...that's not even funny, it's pathetic. I thought you had taste... And yet I wonder how he's better than me?
- Are you so "brilliant" that you can't figure out the obvious? Kindness, sincerity, keeping your word. Unlike the Merandus' deceitful nature.
- Kindness? sincerity? From a man who preferred you to his throne?
*sighs*
- Remember, Mare. Our main difference is that I tend not to choose one thing. That's what kings do. But to sacrifice one for the good of another, a typical loser act.

(I'm not disparaging Cal in these passages, but Maven's arrogance through comparing himself to his brother is bliss))
