Scott Westerfeld Quote

Do you love him?Deryn swallowed, then pointed at the screen. He makes me feel like that. Like flying.Then, you have to tell him.I told you, I kissed him!It’s hardly the same. I kissed you, after all. That wasn’t love, Mr. Sharp.Aye, and what exactly was it?Curiosity. Lilit smiled. And as I said, you’re quite a dashing boy.But I’m pretty sure Alek doesn’t want a dashing boy!You can’t be sure until you ask.Deryn shook her head. You were raised to throw bombs. I wasn’t.Were you raised to wear trousers and be a soldier?
