I..I sang, " she whispered, "if that matters, " and Karou felt her heart pulled to pieces. This Misbegotten warrior, fiercest of them all, had crouched in an icy stream bed to sing a chimera soul into her canteen, because she hadn't known what else to do. The singing wouldn't have mattered, but she wasn't going to tell Liraz that. If Ziri's soul was in that canteen, Karou would happily learn whatever song Liraz had sung and make it part of her resurrection ritual forever, just so that the angel would never feel that she'd been foolish. .Laini Taylor
About This Quote
Though it seems like a small thing, the fact that Karou sang to Ziri when she thought that she was dead means that she cares for her. The fact that she does not look at herself as a reason to be angry or to kill herself shows how much Karou truly cared for Ziri and how deeply the angel affected her life. She knew that singing would not bring her back, but she did it out of duty and because she cared for Ziri.
