Asked Quote by V.E. Schwab
““Why?" asked Kell. "So you can use my magic to lure people into your bed?" "A find idea," said Rhy. "But no. Why must go out, you see, because we're on a mission." "Oh?" asked Kell. "Yes. Because unless you plan to wed me yourself–and don't get me wrong, I think we'd make a dashing pair–I must try and find a mate.””
