Quote #4
Inside the ballroom the British were very still. They had sunk to the floor, some still joined in the embrace of the dance, leaning together on their knees like marionettes at rest. Others had fallen over, and the ladies' ankles, protruding from their skirts, were very pale. A fly sauntered down the bridge of a nose. All their eyes were open. (2.10.4)
What a grotesque scene. After Anamique stops singing, she realizes that all the guests at her eighteenth birthday party—including her family and fiancé—are dead. Worst birthday ever.
Quote #5
She'd been told since she was a suckling that there are a hundred things the Druj can do with eyes! They can fish out your soul and keep it for a trophy, or they can pass visions in and plant dreams that will grow in the dark like toadstools. They can pluck out your eyeballs and put them in their pockets, or they can whisper spells that will turn your glance into a curse to wither crops and cripple horses! (3.3.10)
The Druj are into some pretty gross stuff. These immortal beings obviously have way too much free time on their hands if they're going around collecting peoples' eyes like buttons. What ever happened to stickers?
Quote #6
Druj wear humans. They aren't supposed to do it but they do, and they wear them harshly, for fighting and rutting and dancing and other such things as make mortal blood flow fast. And when they're through with them, they leave them where they found them, flow back into their own cold bodies, and return to the forest. (3.3.14)
Talk about a violation of personal space. The Druj like to try on human bodies like new coats with absolutely no thought for the poor souls. How rude and invasive, right? It's no wonder that Mab hated her time at Tajbel.
