Scott Westerfeld: "Alek tepat di belakangnya sekarang, tubuhnya meneka...

"Alek tepat di belakangnya sekarang, tubuhnya menekan dekat saat dia menyesuaikan lengan pedangnya. Dia tidak menyadari bisnis pagar ini akan sangat sensitif. Dia menggenggam pinggangnya, mengirimkan kulitnya. Jika Alek menggerakkan tangannya lebih tinggi, dia mungkin memperhatikan apa yang disembunyikan di bawah penjahitannya yang cermat. "Selalu menjaga ke samping lawanmu," katanya, dengan lembut membalikkannya. "Dengan begitu, dadamu menyajikan target sekecil mungkin." "Ya, target sekecil mungkin," desah Deryn. Sepertinya rahasianya aman."

Alek was right behind her now, his body pressing close as he adjusted her sword arm. She hadn't realized this fencing business would be so touchy. He grasped her waist, sending a crackle across her skin. If Alek moved his hands any higher, he might notice what was hidden beneath her careful tailoring. “Always keep sideways to your opponent,” he said, gently turning her. “That way, your chest presents the smallest possible target.” “Aye, the smallest possible target,” Deryn sighed. Her secret was safe, it seemed.
