Ventress gave him a look that was so completely her, it tore him apart. "You don't...tell me what to do, Idiot." A small smile surprised him. "Never could," he admitted. "Damn right." Another bout of coughing racked her thin frame, and for a devastating, heart-scalding second Vos thought this would take her. But she continued. "I'm proud of you for...what you did over there.

The eye cannot always be trusted. We think what we see is always real, that the light always reveals what is there the same way at all times. But light and shadow can be manipulated, directed, by those that understand it... And so your eye perceives something entirely different from what you thought was there.
