Friday Update

They were impossible, these two men, for if one did not make her cry, the other did.
"You're not the most perceptive person I've ever known, Kat," Raffin said, "if you don't mind me saying so. Your capacity for missing the obvious is astonishing."

She couldn't remember crying, not once in her life. Not until this fool Lienid had come to her court, and had lied to her, and then had announced that he was leaving.

My favorite line has to be the second one, Raffin is her cousin and one of the closest people to her. That is the only reason he would be allowed to make fun of her, everyone else would be way to afraid of what she would do to them if they did.

Number 1 has to be my favorite because it is the first time Katsa is showing that type of emotion in her life which is a huge deal for her since she believes she is just a killer, a monster.
