Quote #10
"Marry me, Ella," he said again, the order a whisper now. "Say you'll marry me." Anyone else could have said yes or no. This wasn't a royal command. Char probably had no idea he'd given an order. (29.48-49)
We're not sure if it's sweet that Char has no idea that he's giving an order to Ella, or just dumb that he's so used to people doing what he says that it doesn't occur to him to not throw his power around.
