“I avoided his stare, turning for the kitchen. 'You must be hungry, I'll heat something up.'

Rhys straightened. 'You'd- make me food?'

'Heat,' I said. 'I can't cook.'

It didn't seem to make a difference. But whatever it was, the act of offering him food... I dumped some cold soup into a pan and lit the burner. 'I don't know the rules,' I said, my back to him. 'So you need to explain them to me.'

He lingered in the centre of the cabin, watching my every move. He said hoarsely. 'It's an... important moment when a female offers her mate food. It goes back to whatever beasts we were a long, long time ago. But it still matters. The first time matters. Some mated pairs will make an occasion of it- throwing a party just so the female can formally offer her mate food... That's usually done amongst the wealthy. But it means that the female... accepts the bond.'

I stared into the soup. 'Tell me the story- tell me everything.'

He understood my offer: tell me while I cooked, and I'd decide at the end whether or not to offer him that food.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury

Cassian kept his light grip on her chin. 'Whatever you need to throw at me, I can't take it. I won't break.' No challenge laced the words. Only a plea.

'You don't understand,' she said, voice rasping. 'I am not like you and the others.'

'That's never bothered me one bit.' HIs lowered his hand from her chin.

She straightened. 'It should.'

'You say that like you want it to bother me.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A ​Court of Silver Flames

“there are also deeper forces behind our resistance to rethinking. questioning ourselves makes the world more unpredictable, it requires us to admit that the facts may have changed, that what was once right may now be wrong. reconsidering something we believe deeply can threaten our identities, making it feel as if we’re losing a part of ourselves. rethinking isn’t a struggle in every part of our lives, when it comes to our obsessions, we update with fervour, we refresh our wardrobes when they go out of style, and renovate our kitchens when they’re no longer in Vogue. when it comes to our knowledge and opinions though, we tend to stick to our guns. psychologists call this ceasing and freezing. we favour the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt and we let our beliefs brittle long before our bones”
― Adam M. Grant, Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know
