Scowling Quotes

“The Baron scowled.

Only when you drop your mental shields and unknowingly blast those things down the bridge. And to answer your question before you ask, yes. Even with your shields up, I could get through them if I wished. You could train, though- learn how to shield against someone like me, even with the bond bridging our minds and my own abilities.”

I scowled at it.

At whoever might be watching through that tattoo.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury
