Roden's cool expression seemed less than enthusiastic. "When we do this, will they hurt us?" That made me sigh. "You're the captain of my guard, aren't you? Surely you can take a few hits by now. Besides, the pain will be forgotten once the ropes go around our necks" "I don't want a rope going around my neck, Jaron! That's the part you need to figure out.”

Emotional toffees, who’ve actually learnt nothing, but who then have to go back and face the real world … Find that balance, it stretches you, it stretches you as far as you’ll go.”
