I am an ambassador, Akretenesh warned me, anger bringing his confidence back. You cannot shoot. I don't mean to, I reassured him, still smiling. I adopted his soothing tones. Indeed, you are the only man I won't shoot. But if I aimed at anyone else, it might give others a dangerously mistaken sense of their own safety. I raised my voice a trifle, though it wasn't really necessary. We will have another vote, Xorcheus. They elected me Sounis. It was unanimous. ✨ Megan Whalen Turner (2010).
