“You’ll do us proud yet, Raven,” Owl-Eagle murmurs, runs a hand up and down Lucinda’s back. “You’ll be the last of us standing, and they’ll look at you someday and know that you're one of ours. Some of the women slaves already talk about you, you know?”
“What do they say?” Lucinda asks, inhales the reek of cigarette smoke off Owl-Eagle’s jacket.
“They say the Daughter of Mars doesn't take any shit from the men, so why should they? Most of them are still too afraid to push back, but you can hear in their voices that they’re starting to make plans.”
This part honestly made me tear up a little. While there's no doubt that Lucinda's done some terrible things, the fact that she is inspiring hope and maybe even a future rebellion in the Legion women makes me love her even more.
Also her relationship with Owl-Eagle is one of my favorite parts of this story--seeing her be Raven again, in the presence of someone she looks up to, seeing her hug Owl-Eagle like she doesn't want to let go... god, I love mentor relationships between women.
