i love banichi sooooooo so so so much

'"they want the atevi in space."
"why?"
"because--" jase's voice was faint. "because we're not alone. we're not the only ones in space. and they're not friendly. and we're not sure, but they could come here."'

[the heavens open] [angelic choirs begin to sing] EVIL ALIEEEEEENS IN SPAAAAACEEEEE

omg, jase has been lying for almost the entire book? get this man to the oscars!

'so if their languages didn't say quite the same thing and their bodies didn't quite match and the niches they made that said this person satisfies enough requirements to make me happy were just a little different-shaped in their psyches, the centre of that design might match, leaving just the edges hanging off.'

BREN FINALLY MANAGED IT. I'M SO PROUD OF HIM. he can have some immediate overthinking, as a treat

the thought of jase turning over in his sleeping bag and coming face to face with banichi is sending me into hysterics oh my godddddddd

'on holiday at taiben, he and tabini had shot at melons and broken treaty law'

some of the lines in this are sooo so unintentionally funny

[bren, gayly] 'there was nothing in the entire universe that banichi, who stood solid and square as a wall, could not do, and do gracefully.'

'then, with an ill-tempered squeal that thundered against the eardrums, nokhada did remember him and shoved her way through the others with such energy that one of ilisidi's men had to pull his mecheita back to avoid a fight.'

they ♥️

'their -- singular -- room, which to his memory had one -- singular -- and not very wide -- bed.'

the "there's only one bed" trope????? here????? ilisidi there is truly nobody doing it like you

ilisidi i love you bitch
