Summary
“D’you ever think,” Costis starts, watching Kamet and the queen sit together quietly in the garden, “about how well they suit each other? They look like a painting.”
Then he thinks about who he's talking to and looks at the king, who is staring up at him with a bemused smile, incredulous eyebrow raised.

weigh out my value on the scales by qwanderer
Fandoms: The Queen's Thief - Megan Whalen Turner
20 May 2017

Summary
There was something that never got shared when they told the story to other people. A lot of that was because it couldn't be expressed in words. Kamet was a poet and a translator, though, and he tried his best to convey some small part of it.
Costis... didn't even really try. But Eugenides could always get things out of people they hadn't even known were there.

Summary
"I have lied to you."
"You have also come back for me when I was trapped at the bottom of a well, watched over me when I was too ill to stand or speak, told me stories in the dark when there were lions and assassins and slavers chasing us down, and tried to get yourself executed in my place. And though my King never would have done so, I can still appreciate the motivation behind it. I would be a fool to think-- After spending so much time with my king, I would be a fool to think that liars cannot love, or that one cannot love a liar."

Summary
At Reyatimi, Kamet and Costis discuss a recent letter from Pheris, and Kamet draws a map.
How odd, Costis thought, to see their journey reduced to ink on parchment, the dotted line occasionally zigzagging in places where their luck had run out. Somewhere in the paper inch between Koadester and Zaboar, he had almost lost his life three times. And somewhere between Sherguz and Perf—
"Oh," said Costis, his heart suddenly light. "You drew our lioness."

Summary
“Shut up.” The words slipped from between clenched teeth. Kamet seemed to take the hint. He was infuriatingly good at obedience. Costis felt like a moron by comparison.
There are two sides to every coin and every story. Kamet may have seen the Attolian as strong, resourceful, and calm under pressure. But we know Costis better than that.
