Paying Attention Quote by Kameron Hurley
““He picked up her gun. Pointed it at her. Pulled the trigger. Isabet jumped like a startled lizard. He handed the gun back to her. 'First tip. Get a new gun. As soon as a Ras Tiegan gun gets sand in it, it's useless. They don't work out here.' Isabet's hand was trembling as she took the gun back. 'You seemed very certain of that.' 'Nyx unloaded it while we were arguing,' he said. 'If you want to keep up, you'll need to start paying attention.””
