Quote by Sarah J. Maas
““I hope this will buy me all the questions I want—and your discretion.” She chucked the clean half of the leg onto the pile and set to work on the other, sucking and gnawing. “I bet you wipe your ass with gold.” “I don’t think that would be very comfortable.” Baba Yellowlegs hissed a laugh. “Very well, lordling. Let’s hear your questions.””
