Ann Leckie Quotes

They Lay Together In Seivarden's Bunk - Pressed Close, The Space Was Narrow. Ekalu Angry - And Terrified, Heart Rate Elevated. Seivarden, Between Ekalu And The Wall, Momentarily Immobile With Injured Bewilderment. "It Was A Compliment!" Seivarden Insisted. "The Way Provincial Is An Insult. Except What Am I?" Seivarden, Still Shocked, Didn't Answer. "Every Time You Use That Word, Provincial, Every Time You Make Some Remark About Someone's Low-class Accent Or Unsophisticated Vocabulary, You Remind Me That I'm Provincial, That I'm Low-class. That My Accent And My Vocabulary Are Hard Work For Me. When You Laugh At Your Amaats For Rinsing Their Tea Leaves You Just Remind Me That Cheap Bricked Tea Tastes Like Home. And When You Say Things Meant To Compliment Me, To Tell Me I'm Not Like Any Of That, It Just Reminds Me That I Don't Belong Here. And It's Always Something Small But It's Every Day.
