━━━ QUOTES.

❝ Tread carefully, Brekker. Despite what Prince Nikolai might suggest, I am not above gutting men that threaten my crew. ❞

|

❝ The Suli don't have a word for home.
We are a people born from travelers— never
made to stay in one place for too long. ❞

|

❝ I am Captain Marya of the Repentance,
and I am no quarry. ❞

━━━ EXCERPT.

❝ In a dream I meet
my dead friend.

He has, I know,
gone long and far,
and yet he is the same
for the dead are changeless.
They grow no older.

It is I who have changed,
grown strange to what I was.

Yet I, the changed one,
ask: "How you been?"

He grins and looks at me.
"I been eating peaches off
some mighty fine trees." ❞

━━━ THEME SONG.
Never Love an Anchor
— Crane Wives
|

❝ on some level, I think I always understood,
that a ship could never really love an anchor.

so, I did the only thing that I could,
and severed the rope to set you sailing
from my harbor.

there are times when I still wonder about you, you are someone I have loved,
but never known,

and you'll never see the reasons I had
for keeping my claws away when they were close enough to hurt you.

I am selfish, I am broken, I am cruel.
I am all the things they might have said to you.
do you ever think of me and my two hands? ❞
