Megan Whalen Turner Quote

You didn't know I could do that, did you? he asked, conversationally.I did not, Your Majesty, Teleus gasped.My grandfather killed a man that way once, using the edge of the wooden sword.I hadn't realized the Thieves of Eddis were so warlike.They aren't, mostly. But like all men, Teleus, I have two grandfathers. Teleus rolled his eyes to look up at him, and the king said, One of mine was Eddis.Ah, said Teleus.Ah, indeed, said the king.
