Megan Whalen Turner Quote

Sophos, you sleep with a knife under your pillow? I'm hurt.I'm sorry, said Sounis, afraid that he had made contact with his wild swing.I was joking. Wake up the rest of the way, would you?Gen, it's the middle of the night.I know, said the king of Attolia.Sounis tried to rub the sleep out of his eyes. He was sitting up in his bed. The sky was still entirely dark, and he couldn't have been asleep for long. He suspected that he had just dropped off. The bare knife was still in his hand, he realized, and he rooted under his pillow for the sheath.Don't you trust my palace security?Yes, of course, Sounis said, trying to think of some other reason besides mistrust to sleep with a knife. He heard Eugenides laugh.My queen and I sleep with a matched set under our pillows, as well as handguns in pockets on the bedposts. Don't be embarrassed.
