„Wretched teapot!” Rook's voice exclaimed in vexation.
Just like that, my fear melted away. My chest shook with laughter at the image of Rook staggering, drunk and affronted, through the labyrinth's crowded hallways, being assaulted by falling teapots. „Rook,” I whispered, trusting he would hear me, „are you all right out there?”

I recoiled. “That’s the worst declaration of love I’ve ever heard!”

He appeared horrified by the suggestion.
„And I'm not certain you're in any state to protect me,” I went on, sensing a lost cause. „Just now you were almost assassinated by a teapot.”
