[Discussion 2/5] The City of Brass by S. A. Chakraborty - Chapter 6 through Chapter 11  (City of Brass 1)

“Your manners? You go into a wild rant about the djinn—you know, the ones who stopped the indiscriminate butchery of shafit like me, insult me when I show some relief at the news of their victory, and then announce you’re planning to leave me at the gates of that damn city anyway? And you’re blaming it all on wine and your lack of manners? By the Most High, you’re so arrogant you can’t even apologize properly.”
