She’s your Herald, Derek said. That’s your color. Blue for humanity. My what? He made a big show of moving a few feet to the side. I looked at him. In case your head explodes, he said helpfully.

What's your problem with the Guild?The only way to resolve it involves me being entangled in running it and I don't want to do it. I waved my arms. I have the Consort crap and I have the Cutting Edge...
The lion opened his mouth, showing his big teeth. Yes, yes, you’re bad. We know, Your Majesty.
So how was it? she asked. Kissing Curran?I can't let him kiss me again, because if he does, I'll sleep with him.Andrea blinked. Well, she said finally, At least you know where you stand.
