Ivarr And Grus Quotes

“You musn’t feel too bad,” Grus said, as if reading his mind. “Lorimer always gets what he wants. It would be far easier just to hand it over to him without all this flap; he’s going to get it anyway. Take myself for example. He’s always coveted my powers and hated me because I wouldn’t allow him to use me, but he got around all that by killing me and using his powers of necromancy to force me to talk. But then again, I always liked to talk and got into most of my trouble because of it. You’d feel much better if only you’d start talking about almost anything, not the location of the barrow specifically, although that would save us the trouble of catching and torturing one of your friends-“

“Why don’t you just shut up?” Ivarr said. “I’d like to give you a good toss as far as I could throw you.”

“I’d yell first,” Grus said. “You wouldn’t have time even to get your feet under you and I’d yell my head off.”

“He chattered on, but Ivarr didn’t listen. He was too sunken in despair to have the slightest interest in Grus’s family history of several centuries ago.”
