In Merai, they say that the Navolese are as twisted as the plaits of their women’s hair, and I cannot disagree. But, too, as Aghan Khan said, when we find that which we desire, our hearts fly swift and true. I would also add that our promises are as hard as the ice of the Cielofrigo, and just as cold.
