Death, said Akiva. His life was leaving him fast now that he no longer held his wound. His eyes just wanted to drift closed. I'm ready. Well, I'm not. I hear it's dull, being dead. She said it lightly, amused, and he peered up at her. Had she just made a joke? She smiled. Smiled. He did, too. Amazed, he felt it happening, as if her smile had triggered a reflex in him. Dull sounds nice, he said, letting his eyes flutter closed. Maybe I can catch up on my reading. ✨ Daughter of Smoke and Bone. Book by Laini Taylor, September 27, 2011.
