Your blood and my magic. Nothing else.

It isn't only with my sacred knife that spilling mortal blood is forbidden, you know. I've killed human men and women before, the night I drowned the city of Söndermane in a fit of pain and grief and rage. Two were injured in my storm on deck here. And I condoned a murder that Roffe committed. I had that boy's death on my knife and my conscience, if not my hands.

But you're still the only mortal whose blood I've spilled by my own hands, on purpose. You make it feel safe to leave behind the last vestiges of sildroher law. To choose something new, with what feels right to me.
