Nahreeb: Damacus has dealt generously with you. Even your slave has a slave.


Micah: Asham. I've drunk deep of every wine from here to Petra, and I've had my full share of women. Yet I'm behaving like a beardless boy panting for the first forbidden fruit that he sees. A priestess who worships a painted graven image! But she's in my blood!


Micah: Sometimes, Asham, a man must make a little trouble.
