You confuse the shit out of me, Duchess. Zane replied frankly, but there was no real weight behind it other than friendly observation. He didn't understand one bit of the way her mind worked and half the time the things she said contradicted wildly. This one was especially fucked for him.

Half the time you look at me like I'm crazy, not pledgin myself like some kind of eternal guardian, or whatever, to this place, and then you go and say shit like 'we choose our own freedom' like I'm not the fuckin poster child for it. He let out a good-natured chuckle. What do you think I'm doing?
