Or if it is, I’ll know that, too; and I’ll know it’s right for you to go.” “But you’re not answering my question. How will you feel?” There was a pause. “I don’t know. I’ll probably feel a lot of things. But only one of the things will be unhappiness; and unhappiness I’m willing to risk.” Katsa stared up into the treetops. “Are you sure of that?” He sighed. “I’m certain.” He was willing to risk unhappiness. And there was the crux of the matter. She couldn’t know where this would lead, and to proceed was to risk all kinds of unhappiness. The fire gasped and died. She was frightened. For as their camp turned to darkness, she also found herself choosing risk.”",

He glowered at the floor, chin on fist. “You’ll fall in love with the king.” She sat on the edge of the bed facing him, and grinned. “I couldn’t fall in love with the king. He’s weak-minded and he drinks too much wine.” He caught her eye. “And? I’m jealous-minded and I sleep with too many women.” Fire’s smile grew. “Luckily for you, I loved you long before either of those things.” “But you don’t love me as much as I love you,” he said. “Which is what’s made me this way.” This was harsh, coming from a friend she would lose her life for. And harsh that he would say such a thing right when she was about to leave for so long. She stood and turned her back to him. Love doesn’t measure that way, she thought to him. And you may blame me for your feelings, but it isn’t fair to blame me for how you’ve chosen to behave.”",
