Megan Whalen Turner Quote
Eddis looked around as if recalling a question that had nagged at her for several hours. Where's Eugenides? she asked.For a moment the Attolian queen was immobile, her smile gone as if it had never been. The horse under her threw up its head as if the bit had twitched against its delicate mouth.Locked in a room, Attolia said flatly. In Ephrata.The smile faded from Eddis' face.I ordered the other prisoners released, Attolia explained. I forgot that I had him locked up separately. I doubt my sensechal will have released him without my specific instruction to do so.You forgot? Eddis asked.I forgot, Attolia said firmly, daring Eddis to contradict her.You will marry him? Eddis asked, hesitant again.I said I would, snapped Attolia, and turned her horse away. Eddis followed. When they joined their officers, Attolia gave brisk orders and then rode on, heading back toward Ephrata without waiting for Eddis.
