“Pain lost its power when other things became more important. Kahar didn’t need a potion or an Aon to save him—he just needed something to do.”

“DEATH, EIDHIN ONCE INSISTED WHILE explaining the ddram cyfraith, is our most important horizon. It matters because we need an end to what we can see. Without it we would drift, overwhelmed, nothing to orient ourselves against. Without it, we would never be able to focus on what is truly important: that which is in front of us.”

“I give a soft, frustrated laugh. “Gods’ graves. Fair enough. One day I’ll find something that bothers you, though.” “One of my teachers back home once told me that sometimes, the only thing we can control is our attitude.”

“Aequa’s lips twitch. “So would you describe yourself as… forbidden?” She says the last in a seductive whisper. Eyes wide. Neither of us can hold back snickers as Eidhin glowers. “You are wrong.” “You are oblivious,” Aequa corrects him. Eidhin’s scowl deepens, but as he sees me nodding firmly, he makes a small, rude gesture in our direction. “Very well. I will… tour her.” This time, at the now-rare language mistake from a vaguely flustered Eidhin, Aequa and I aren’t able to keep it in. It feels good to laugh—to laugh hard and long, so loud that I can’t hear the specifics of Eidhin’s annoyed protests.”
