When the magus hugs Eugenides like a son. It makes me happy inside.
I love the follow-up line "or at least like a close relative." It always struck me as Gen being touched by the hug, then brushing it off like a tough guy saying, "I wasn't crying, I had something in my eye" and making a joke out of it.
I think the dolphin ring was in both Sutcliffe books. AND I saw Roman stones like this carved one when I went to Bath, England this summer. So cool.
Seems like after Thief, but before Queen, the Magus sent Gen information about Attolia and he went to see her to decide if she was a fiend or just a woman, alone, trying to rule without the support of her barons. That part in Thief about the mountain lions--he was lying to himself because he didn't understand his feelings and was fighting them. He'd been watching her for years, though.
