"What’s that wailing of the damned? Oh, Marah’s home."
"The courtesans you requested are here."
"Who am I to defy the steward?"
Marah: We’re done. It was fun.

Cort: Your power didn’t come with evil.
“Sorry, but we both know your fuckhead brother has been attacking Rebma.”
“In my mind I visualize the ass chewing I’ll get from Marah if this goes into the city. That will kill any erection.”
