How many demons and people are enslaved here? (Jericho) Define slavery. (Asmodeus) Kept against their will. (Jericho) Good definition. Counting me? (Asmodeus) Why not? (Jericho) Probably a couple of millionโฆyou know itโs really hard to count to a million, plus theyโre always dying and new ones are coming in. I tried to count once, but it got really depressing so I stopped. The constant adding and subtracting. Not my forte, really. (Asmodeus)
Sherrilyn KenyonItโs just a mild disagreement, Papa. Remi has this whole need to breathe in and out, which annoys me. If he would just stop breathing, Iโd be fine. (Aimee)
Sherrilyn KenyonShut up, sit down, and read. (Tory) Please? (Acheron) You need something? (Tory) You to be polite to me, Ms. I Own The World- Now Do What I Say You Pathetic Pleb. (Acheron) You donโt strike me as the kind of guy who takes orders anyway. (Tory) Yes, but a simple please goes a long way. Iโm the one doing you a favor here. (Acheron) Fine. Please sit down, shut up, and read. (Tory)
Sherrilyn KenyonBecause people are ever willing to believe the negative over the positive. Itโs easier for you to think me corrupt and evil than it is for you to see me for what I really am. No one wants to believe that some people are willing to help others out of the goodness of their hearts because they canโt stand to see someone suffer. So few people are altruistic that they canโt understand or conceive that anyone else in the world could ever put someone elseโs good above their own. (Leta)
Sherrilyn KenyonIt's easy to look at people and make quick judgments about them, their present and their past, but you'd be amazed at the pain and tears a single smile hides. What a person shows to the world is only one tiny facet of the iceberg hidden from sight. And more often then not, it's lined with cracks and scars that go all the way to the foundation of their soul.
