And their handmaiden, that sad-eyed, downcast Barrow Wight, looked openly terrified. She was staring at me, her eyes wide and her jaw slack. How had I not noticed her the first time?
The answer followed the question without pause. I hadn`t noticed her because she was just a servant, and I`d been focusing on the purebloods as the important ones. I`d done to her exactly what so many of them had done to me. I had ignored her.
I`d known I was losing my humanity, but that was the moment when I realized I was never going to get it back.01 - RamingoWS30 августа 2017 г.
Those who heal the fastest have always had to hurt the worst. It`s the cost of being able to handle so much trauma. The pain will always be eager to remind you that it has a claim.

Everything we can use against humanity, humanity can also use against us. That`s something to keep in mind when you`re making a tool, or a weapon. Everything cuts both ways.

So, Toby, how goes the systematic alienation of every noble of the West Coast? Got yourself banned from any new kingdoms yet?

He would have been a fool to attack me in front of Tybalt. He would have been a suicidal fool to attack Tybalt in front of me -- if there was one thing Brucer had taken away from our time together at Home, it was a healthy respect for how much damage I could, and would, do if I was pissed off.

A surprising number of film and television stars were changelings. Fae blood made them beautiful and sturdy enough to survive doing their own stunts; human blood made them resistant to the iron in camera rigs and muscle cars. And the nature of the industry was such that if you were careful, you could keep a career going for decades, writing off your apparent inability to age as clean living, drinking lots of water, and keeping a plastic surgeon on speed-dial.

The Luidaeg wasn`t done. She turned to Arden and said, "Now`s your turn to play taxi. Get us to the conclave."
Arden blinked, raising her eyebrows. "I`m the Queen here."
"And I am clearly coming around too often and putting up with too much of your monarchist bullshit, because you seem to have forgotten the essential fact that I. Will Fuck. You. Up." The Luidaeg took a step toward Areden. Her eyes were suddenly black, and while her features hadn`t shifted, there was an element of menace to them that hadn`t been there a second ago. She didn`t need to change her form to be as brutal and mercurial as the sea. "Familiarity may breed contempt, Your Highness, but I recommend you find a way to shake off that tendency, because you have no power over me, no authority to command my actions, and no reason to expect my good will. Now, are you going to be a smart girl and open a door for us, or am I going to remind you why even the rulers of the Divided Courts listen when the Firstborn decide to speak?"
Arden had gone white. She didn`t say anything, simply sketched an archway in the air with her hand. It opened, smelling of blackberry flowers, to reveal the stage in the arcade. Then she curtsied to the Luidaeg. Curtsied deeply, until her forehead was almost pressed against her knee, revealing the swan`s-wing slope of her back, graceful and vulnerable in her white gown. The Luidaeg stepped forward, resting her fingertips against Arden`s spine. Arden shivered.
"Don`t mistake me for a friend because I sometimes choose to be friendly," said the Luidaeg. "Don`t pretend you have some sort of control over what I do. I`m Fistborn. That means something. Even here, even now, in this washed-out mockery of Faerie, that means something. If you forget again, I`ll have to leave you with something to remember me by. So please, Arden. Because I loved your father, in my own way, in my own time, don`t make me remind you."07 - RamingoWS30 августа 2017 г.
She looks like she could use some sun, and maybe a good kick in the teeth.

Anyone who says the past was perfect is a liar and wasn`t there. Everything that thinks can aspire, and everything that aspires wants something better than what they`ve left behind them.
