“I'll have you in my bed again, Sentinel. And at my side. That is a promise.”

“You are a Cadogan vampire, by blood and bone. You have fought for this House, and you are mine to protect. My Sentinel, my Novitiate. As long as I am here to do it, I will protect you. As long as this House exists, you will have a home here. -Ethan”

“You’ll be wearing nothing but your Cadogan medal and a smile, Sentinel.”“Is that a prediction?” “It’s a promise.”

“She has a point, Liege.”Ethan clucked his tongue. “Captain of my Guards and he carries the standard of my Sentinel. Oh, how quickly they turn.”“You’re first in my heart, Liege.”

“Are we ready?” “You have your dagger?” “I rarely leave home without it.” “Then to the Batcave, Sentinel.”

“You are caught, Sentinel.' His voice was rough.”

“Sullivan, just pick it up.""My way is more genteel.""Your way is more tight ass.""Your respect for me, Sentinel, is astounding.""I'd respect you more if you took a bite of that dog.""You don't respect me any.""Like I said, I'd respect you more. More than none.”
