« “Both sides” was a rhetorical weapon used by hypocrites and the ignorant. »
The Rise of Kyoshi
« Jianzhu had once implemented a policy that any member of the staff, no matter how lowly, could talk to him personally about any household concern.

"I can't cheer up. I'm in Horse stance."
"I like your focus," Rangi said. "But see if you can withstand this."
She slid between Kyoshi's arms and gave her a head-tilting, knee-buckling kiss, as powerful and deep as the ocean after a storm.
Kyoshi's eyes went wide before they shut forever. She sank into heavenly darkness. Her backbone turned to liquid. "*Maintain,*" Rangi murmured, her lips like a feather on Kyoshi's before she attacked again, with added ferocity this time. »
