From the moment their ships had entered Penacony's orbit, Veritas knew he was being watched. In the dream, he could feel the attention on him like grease smeared across his skin.

Summary
Topaz waved her hand in front of his phone. He looked up. “How did you communicate as a kid? You were born deaf, weren’t you?”
Aventurine shrugged. “I had a lot better hearing as a kid,” he lied. In truth, he didn’t fully remember. He had to have had some way to communicate with his sister and the other people in his clan. Hell, he had to have some way to communicate with people not in his clan. He remembers the words to some prayers, his mouth shaped around them like a hot iron, something shameful and branding. Thinking about how much language he had lost since then made him sick. He frowned. “I read lips.”

Summary
"You’re actually serious about this. Where is the baby then? Don’t tell me you left a newborn unattended.”
"Of course not. I brought it with me. It’s in my bag."
“Surely not.” Ratio took the briefcase from Aventurine, undid the clasps so he could look inside. “What is this?” He said, pulling the doll out by its leg. Holding it upside down, regarding it.
“My child, I suppose,” Aventurine said. The phrasing bothered him the second it had escaped his mouth. My child, he had said. My. As if ownership of the doll came naturally to him. As if he wasn't disgusted by it.
"It's a doll."
