Inda shook his head. “I won’t.” Tanrid took a step toward him, mouth thin, eyes dangerous. “It’s our honor at stake.” “Honor,” Inda croaked, “requires me to stand to the truth. Dogpiss died.” He gulped on a sob. “And it was not. My. Fault. I. Will. Not. Take. The. Blame.” ... “...Yet. I promise you, Inda, on my honor, on my soul, you will get justice.” ... Sponge’s arms closed round him, and held him, in compassionate, loving silence while he slept.

- Inda, book 1

“Yes.” Inda’s voice was so low, and tired. “Yes, Evred, I’ll stand up against the wall. Or if you’re going to flay me at the post, then do it. I won’t argue. I know what I did. Please. Just do it.” “I do not want to do it,” Evred retorted with barely suppressed violence.

- Treason’s Shore, book 4
