Nevernight

Sophia 

“You know, I never understood that. How being named after a woman’s nethers is somehow more grievous than any other insult. Seems to me calling someone after a man's privates is worse. I mean, what do you picture when you hear a fellow called a cock?" 

Tric shrugged, befuddled at the strange turn in conversation. 

“You imagine an oaf, don't you?" Mia continued. "Someone so full of wank there's no room for wits. A slow-minded bastard who struts about full of spunk and piss, completely ignorant of how he looks to others." 

An exhalation of clove-sweet gray into the air between them.

 "Cock is just another word for fool. But you call someone a cunt, well." The girl smiled. "You're implying a sense of malice there. An intent. Malevolent and self-aware.”

"The soft touch. The lingering stare. Whispered nothings that mean everything. These are the weapons I shall give you."

"You've got the look of a girl who's no stranger to the page. I can tell. You've got words in your soul."
