In my dreams I sign chits and file papers, Nikoros muttered. Then I awake to sign real chits and file real papers. I imagine my grave marker will be carved as a writing desk. 'Here lies Nikoros Via Lupa, wifeless and heirless, but gods how he could alphabetize!'

There’s no freedom quite like the freedom of being constantly underestimated.

I make it a point never to trust men with weapons to my windpipe.
