The king sighed. Forgetting Costis standing nearby, forgetting possibly that anyone or anything else in the world existed, the king said shakily, “Tell me you won’t cut out my lying tongue, tell me you won’t blind me, you won’t drive red-hot wires into my ears.”

After one moment of gripped immobility, the queen bent to kiss the king lightly on one closed eyelid, then on the other. She said, “I love your eyes.” She kissed him on either cheek, near the small lobe of his ear. “I love your ears, and I love”—she paused as she kissed him gently on the lips—“every single one of your ridiculous lies.”

“She recalled the Thief as he reached the steps to the door. "My Queen?" He turned back, unsure what she required. "Only for that," said Eddis. Eugenides smiled and bowed his head. "My Queen," he said again, perhaps for the last time. Then he was gone.”

“I'll stop shouting. I won't sit down. I might need to throw more inkpots.”

“  "Stop whining," Eugenides said.   "What?" Eddis' expression shifted from wary to puzzled.   "That was the message. For me, alone among mortals, the gods send their messenger to tell me to stop whining. That'll teach me to go hide in a temple."   "Eugenides--" said Eddis.   "And I thought I was doing fairly well," he said bitterly.”
