"I know how it must seem," he says gently, and gentleness is not his wont but he manages it anyway, like something carried between his teeth.
Another kiss, this one light on a fingertip.
"They deal in impossibilities, those of his sort, and it is impossible to know how one may escape them without a great deal of trial and grief, first."
