“Sweat isn't a bad thing," he said, leaning his head against the wall thoughtfully. "Some of the best things in life happen while your sweating. Yeah, if you get too much of it and it gets old and stale, it turns pretty gross. But on a beautiful women? Intoxicating.

Perfume can be good...especially if you get one that goes with your chemistry. But you only need a hint. Mix about 20 percent of that with 80 percent of your own perspiration...mmm." He tilted his head to the side and looked at me. "Dead sexy.”

“Look, Aerin, preparation is only half the challenge of winning a debate.鈥�
鈥淎nd the other half?鈥�
He had her now. 鈥淵ou have to choose the right side.鈥�
鈥淵our side, you mean.鈥� She bristled.
鈥淣o, the losing side.鈥�
鈥淲丑补迟?鈥�
鈥淎lways choose the weaker side.鈥�
鈥淲hy would I do that?鈥� Doubt edged her voice, but now she was sitting erect, her feet flat on the floor.
鈥淏ecause then you have further to go to prove your case.鈥� He eased the feet of his chair down. 鈥淚n a debate, there are two sides. If both make a good argument, then the less popular side wins because that side had further to go to prove its point. Simple logistics.鈥�
鈥淚f you don鈥檛 care which side wins.鈥� She frowned.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a debate. It doesn鈥檛 matter which side wins.鈥�
鈥淵ou mean it doesn鈥檛 matter to you.鈥� The tone in her voice unsettled him. Or maybe it was the fact that that her criticism disturbed him at all.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a class,鈥� he said. 鈥淭he point is to flesh out the different sides of an argument.鈥�
鈥淎nd you don鈥檛 care if the truth gets lost in the shuffle. Don鈥檛 you believe in anything?!”

“I wanted to pull away, remind him that I was a big girl, a highly trained operative, a spy - that I'd been training for this mission my entire life, and I wasn't going to be left on the sidelines. But in the dim space with Zach pressed tightly against me, only one thought came to mind. I kissed him - longer and deeper than I ever had before. The school was not watching us this time. There was nothing playful in the tone. We were just two people kissing as if for the first time, as if it might be the last.
And then I broke away. "So," I asked, as if I got kissed like that all the time (which, believe me, I don't), "where is it you're taking me again?"
"The tombs.”

“You're really not scared, are you?
I can't see even a lick of fear in you, Red... Why is that?
Every pleb in this school turn tail when they see me... Like they can smell the blood and death that surrounds me. But you... You're either completely stupid and bind, or you don't care. See. You're not one of the sheep here, Red. Maybe not quite a wolf yet either... but you're still different.”

“I don't listen to shit like that, Red. Petty gossip? I couldn't give two fucks.
The only thing that interests me is blood, blades and my brothers.
You're not like other wimp's here anyway, Red. They're too afraid to move, to bleed, and to be free.
Where's fun in living like that?

“Service academies are not just colleges with a uniform dress code. Their purpose is to prepare you for one profession alone, and that profession's ultimate aspiration is a combat command. The Academy experience is intended to determine whether you are fit for such work, and if you are, to mold your natural ability into the attributes of a capable officer. If you aren't, the Academy wants to discover your inaptitude as quickly as possible.”
