Rask: I think I’d like to go home. It’s been so long.
Galen: Where are you from?
Rask: Bow.
Cole: If there’s one place in this world The Empire avoid, it’s Bow. People say they’re scared of the fairies. I think that’s a very good idea. [...] *to Rask* We’ll visit you often, I am sure.
Galen: I heard, in Bow the Court Magician is married to the Lord Chancellor.
Rask: Two men can marry in Bow. It’s a very different place to anywhere here in the south.
Cole: Then I think we should definitely visit.
I managed to restrain myself, savouring instead the delightful novelty of being introduced as a husband's husband to men who shared the title, or to women with wives, or to kemi of all inclinations.
