““Why ain't you using your influence to get her out where she can do some good? If she's as quick and noticing and clever as you say—" „It is dangerous.” „Then look out for her.” He stared at her. „I beg your pardon?” "You heard me. You're good at not getting killed, ain't you? At not being dead when any normal person would be. According to Jason, you been poisoned, bashed in the head, shot at, drowned, stabbed, and Lord only knows what else. Watching out for a mere female should be child's play.””
