From the Courlight series:
"No, you can't," said Ciardis flatly. "I may be inexperienced, but I'm not stupid. Your own courtiers are trying to kill you, and your social standing is next to nil. Any of my other prospective Patrons would be a much more suitable pick, in particular because they want me for me. You need me, but for how long?”
Sebastian opened and closed his mouth. He bit his lip, thinking, apparently trying to come up with something that would convince her to accept his proposal. Then, hesitantly, he said, "You're right—I'm not offering you a marriage, a family, or a warm hearth to crochet by. I'm offering you an adventure, and a chance to save your empire. Everyone needs something to inspire them, and can you really say that managing household accounts will do that for you?"
From the Crown Service Series:
He nodded while leaning over on his knees and panting heavily. “Man, killing people is exhausting.”
She lifted an eyebrow but didn’t bother mentioning he hadn’t actually killed anyone.
“Good work with those men and with our traitorous sun mage over there,” said Sara. “I couldn’t have done it without you.”
He flushed with praise and she turned to march over to a pinned Nissa with a smile.
The woman was stuck to the tree with an arrow through her shoulder, but she didn’t flinch or beg for mercy. In fact, she lifted her chin proudly and met her captor head-on.
“Hurts, doesn’t it?” Sara said mockingly.
Nissa looked at her with fury in her eyes.
