Violet, dusting herself off: Okay, okay, so I tripped. It happens!
Xaden: You nearly fell into a ravine, Violet!
Brennan, staring at a trail of blood: I found her hanging from a root. She was covered in mud, and muttering about 'finding the truth' & proving you aren’t 'fraternizing with the enemy'.
Sgaeyl, to Xaden: She will die before she admits she was wrong. So will you.
Tairn, to Xaden: You are not subtle enough with these rebellion expeditions, shadow-two.
Xaden, exasperated: Well, maybe if someone would trust me enough to tell me what I'm not allowed to know, I wouldn't have to be combing through all these secrets like a ticking time bomb! … Also, don’t you call me “shadow-one” not “shadow-two” …
Tairn: You are not deserving of the number “one” anymore.
