"Reilin only smiled, eyes ahead. Then he said something Ronoah never would have expected from him. "You strain yourself trying to understand something before it is ready to reveal itself to you. Truth barely has time to set up her gauntlet before you are sprinting towards her prize. A piece of advice to you, Ronoah: wait it out. Enjoy the run. As I have already said, it is the unexpected things which impact us the most, and really, you do not want to know everything nearly as badly as you think you do."

"Right," Reilin said, and Ronoah looked up at him because his voice had changed again and suddenly it sounded clear and young, hushed with breathless anticipation. It made his own heart kick in a way that made him more excited than nauseous. The man rolled his broad shoulders in their sockets, gathering the reins in his hands. He was staring intent at the horizon, the blue canvas of the eastern sky, the rip and rupture of the sun. His face was unreadable, sort of like a question and sort of like an answer and sort of like a challenge and yet none of those things at all. "Off we go, into the glorious unknown."
