“You're fierce and unknowns and you fight like you don't notice the lives you're taking, and the crowds love the idea of someone who never pauses in the pursuit of glory."
"Glory," I scoffed "Glory's nothing but empty sand and mud." Evin if the faceless crowds thought one thing, I needed someone to know the truth. "And I notice."
"I know. You even notice the lives of those who should be your enemies." he shook his head. "I still don't understand that."
I scraped mud off my bracer. "We are all just flesh and blood in the end. Maybe all that matters is what we do when it seems like no one, not even the gods, are watching.”

“Oh, how words love Hawkes. They wrap around the unexpected inflections of his voice, eager, offering their best cadence and lilt and soul. They know him well, and he them. Almost as if words are the one thing in his life he has never had to push away. He speaks words the way they pound in my chest. And it feels like a miracle, finding such a dear part of oneself walking around in someone else’s body.”
