Quotes[edit | edit source]
“You twine your life around the people you love. And when they are gone, you grow around their absence instead. It is just another way they shape you. Which is my sage way of saying - I am in no danger of forgetting how my husband died. But I choose to remember how he lived.„
“He was a Harper. A better one than me, truth be told - any idiot can swing a sword. But to believe in the cause, with the whole of your heart? A much trickier thing. He died. Alone, in pain, and far too young - murdered by a mage who craved immortality. I'll not grant it by naming him in the same breath as my husband.„
“The druid in me would like to say it was a thing of balance. The younger woman recalls rather more about a fine bottom, and the habit not to speak unless he had something to say.„
“Oh, I'm sure time and an ageing mind have smoothed out a few of his flaws. But he was a good man. The songs make much of Khalid's meekness. The quiet little Harper who had to keep a tight hold on his courage. But he had it when it counted. And, more than that: He had compassion. When you live a Harper's life, see all that a Harper sees, that is by far the harder thing to hold on to. But a bard can tell you all the rest. As for all the things they cannot... well. I shall just have to keep those for myself.„
“Most Harpers swagger and flash their feathers to catch your attention. Khalid was of a quieter sort. I have never known a warrior who would go so far out of his way to avoid a fight. Which meant the few he chose were usually the right ones. And when we were married - on an upturned cart in the rainy Dalelands - he stammered so much, I've never been sure if our vows actually counted.„
