    Leigh Bardugo
    “This isn’t … it isn’t a trick, is it?” Her voice was smaller than she wanted it to be.

    The shadow of something dark moved across Kaz’s face. “If it were a trick, I’d promise you safety. I’d offer you happiness. I don’t know if that exists in the Barrel, but you’ll find none of it with me.”

    For some reason, those words had comforted her. Better terrible truths than kind lies.

    “All right,” she said. “How do we begin?”

    “Let’s start by getting out of here and finding you some proper clothes. Oh, and Inej,” he said as he led her out of the salon, “don’t ever sneak up on me again.”

    Leigh Bardugo
    “Some people see a magic trick and say, ‘Impossible!’ They clap their hands, turn over their money, and forget about it ten minutes later. Other people ask how it worked. They go home, get into bed, toss and turn, wondering how it was done. It takes them a good night’s sleep to forget all about it. And then there are the ones who stay awake, running through the trick again and again, looking for that skip in perception, the crack in the illusion that will explain how their eyes got duped; they’re the kind who won’t rest until they’ve mastered that little bit of mystery for themselves. I’m that kind.”

    “You love trickery.”

    “I love puzzles. Trickery is just my native tongue.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

    “At some point, Jesper realized Kaz was gone.
    "Not one for goodbyes, is he?" he muttered.
    "He doesn't say goodbye," Inej said. She kept her eyes on the lights of the canal. Somewhere in the garden, a night bird began to sing. "He just lets go.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

    “How do you get your information, Mister Brekker?"
    "You might say I'm a lockpick."
    "You must be a very gifted one."
    "I am indeed." Kaz leaned back slightly. "You see, every man is a safe, a vault of secrets and longings. Now, there are those who take the brute's way, but I prefer a gentler approach - the right pressure applied at the right moment, in the right place. It's a delicate thing."
    "Do you always speak in metaphors, Mister Brekker?"
    Kaz smiled. "It's not a metaphor."
    He was out of his chair before his chains hit the ground.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows
