Quote #10
Selia's voice quavered with too many tones, confusing the roles she played—commanding, regal, humble, coercive, friendly, and under it all the hate and jealousy that shook her bones when she spoke Ani's title. Ani concentrated on turning the voice, her words that had always struck like javelins and pinned down her mind with their commands, turning those shooting words into feathers, floating away. (21.69)
Just like Ani's mom, Selia has a gift when it comes to talking to people. Did you notice the way it's described not just as the words she uses, but the tones and intonations as well? Selia knows how to manipulate even the sounds of language to get what she wants.
