Naomi Novik Quote
He coiled himself neatly and waited without fidgeting, as was polite; but at length, when Majestatis showed no signs of waking—after ten minutes, or perhaps five—very nearly five—Temeraire coughed; then he coughed again, a little more emphatically, and Majestatis sighed and said, without opening his eyes, So you are not leaving, I suppose?Oh, Temeraire said, his ruff prickling, I thought you were only sleeping, not ignoring me deliberately; I will go at once.Well, you might as well stay , Majestatis said, lifting his head and yawning himself away. I don’t bother to wake up if it isn’t important enough to wait for, that’s all.
