From "Out of the Loup"

We are Unseelie. We were once worshiped as gods. So were cats. And, like cats, we’re at our best when we remember this. Kinsey had mentioned a few times she was raised by humans, but I didn’t get how much of a difference that made.

“I just don’t want to make people uncomfortable,” she drawled in that lovely mezzo-soprano full of unholy overtones and the grating of rusted chains, guileless as a naked blade.
