I rest in strategic intervals while my body pretends to recharge.Who's more dramatic?Both: Sebastian.Do you cook?Nightingale: Absolutely. My meals are literally out of this world—dimension-seasoned and joy-infused.Sebastian: I do too, actually. Especially when it's my turn to impress her.

And sentient.Sebastian: He has a name. It's Sir Meatball. And he's a very good dog.What's your favorite holiday?Nightingale: Carnival of Echoes. We dress like our worst fears.Sebastian: Reaping Week.

Didn't work.Favorite curse word?Nightingale: Shrapnelbutt.Sebastian: Moon-damned son of a vine-sucker.Biggest pet peeve?Nightingale: Unfiled paperwork. I will smite.Sebastian: When my spear gets blood in the joints. Hate that. Also—itchy bones.
