Kahlan would be embarrassed to be discovered at such weakness, and if she weren’t, she should be.
“You could be sickly. One of my sisters once had the crying sickness. We had to put her down.”
“If he were dead, my Agiel would die with him. I would bring it up.”
They couldn’t have done anything fun—they weren’t that inventive—
Then she laid down behind Kahlan and put an arm around her, like she was executing a chokehold… only gentler.

Fucking brilliant!
Honestly, I can't express how much I loved this. Bang up job old chap, bang up job :D
