"Stand," Elena whispered again, and was gone. The world appeared.

I had forgotten this glorious glorious scene 🥹

"I already told you that I don't feel well."
"You look fine to me." He skillfully shuffled the deck. "Just one game."
"Don't you pay people to entertain you?"
He glowered, breaking the deck. "You should be honored by my company."
"I'd be honored if you would leave."

😁😁😁

"Do you feel that?" she asked Chaol, who slowly, maliciously grinned. He held out his dagger and dragged it on the marble floor, creating the exact sound and feeling.
"Damned idiot," she snarled. She grabbed two heavy books from the table and stalked from the library, making sure to leave The Walking Dead far behind.

To be fair, he actually did act like a damned idiot 🫠

"You don't care for salmon?"
"I hate fish. I'd rather die than eat it."
"That's surprising," he said, taking a bite.
"Why?"
"Because you smell like one."
She opened her mouth to expose the ball of bread and beef that she was chewing. He shook his head.

These initial exchanges between Celaena and Chaol absolutely send me 🤭

"My freedom?" At the sound of the word, she saw a land of pine and snow, of sun-bleached cliffs and white-capped seas, a land where light was swallowed in the velvety green of bumps and hollows— a land that she had forgotten.

So very deep in my feels right now aka no one should be surprised by this development. Just saying 😌
