“Kel: He says he’s changed.
Neal: I suppose he could have changed, I myself have noticed my growing resemblance to a daffodil.
Kel: You do look yellow around the edges. I hadn’t wanted to bring it up.
Neal: We daffodils like to have things brought up. It reminds us of spring.
Or that scene in In the Realms of the Gods in the Falling Chapter.
Actually: In First Test
Kel’s speech about chivalry (and anti-bullying) when she inadvertently convinces Nealan to come and fight with her.
” “But this custom leads to worse things. Cleon sends me for papers, but someone else traps a first year in a corner and keeps making him do stupid tasks. He’ll maybe hit the first-year to smarten him when he slows down – and that is dead wrong. If we take this as pages, what about when we are knights? Do we say, Oh, now I’m going to be nice to the weak and the small? Or do we do as we learned when we were pages?” She stopped, breathing hard. It was the longest speech she’d ever made. “I don’t mean to lecture. You can laugh and say I’m a silly girl. But when I see anyone big pick on someone small, there’s going to be a fight.” “
