Siege and Storm- Chapter 16 (Leigh Bardugo)
... there was something comforting in the control... Geez, Alina, really? Perhaps it's that... control?
What about attempting to learn it without crutches? So you don't have to rely on extra items you'd need to keep on you?!
Alina is like a child, who just got her first bike with training wheels, immediately after that a motorcycle, and now she's looking for a racing car.
No wonder once she gets it, it turns into a nasty crash.
