"Blay tidak menjabat tangan yang ditawarkan. Dia meraih, memegang wajah pejuang, dan menarik Qhuinn untuk ciuman. Seharusnya hanya sepersekian detik — seperti bibir mereka yang melakukan jabat tangan. Ketika dia pergi untuk menarik kembali, Qhuinn menangkapnya, dan menahannya di tempat. Mulut mereka bertemu lagi ... dan lagi ... dan sekali lagi, kepala mereka miring ke samping, kontak tetap ada. "Sama-sama," kata Blay kasar. Lalu dia tersenyum kecil. "Tapi tidak bisa mengatakan itu semua menyenangkan."

Then he smiled a little. “Can’t say it was all a pleasure, though.
