Gamma: Mom? What’s your favorite character in the Shadow and Bone books?

Me: Genya.

Gamma: (slightly disappointed) Oh.

Me: If you could be any Grisha, what type would you want to be?

Gamma: (without hesitation) Heartrender.

Me: (not surprised in the least) Good choice.

Gamma: What would you be?

Me: Tailor.

Gamma: (more disappointed) Oh.

Me: Maybe Inferni. It’s hard to choose.

Carrot’s Inside voice: Don’t lie, you’d be a Durast.
