Quote #7

If it'd bin Emmi they took, he says, Emmi an not Lugh...would you of gone after her? (7.243)

The answer to this one, as we all know, is a resounding no way. To her credit, however, Saba freely admits this and genuinely works on being a better big sister to Emmi.

Quote #8

I said...that Lugh sounds too good to be true. (8.53)

Now ain't this the truth, Jack. We love Lugh and all, but Saba needs to lose her idealized view of her bro if they're ever going to develop an adult relationship.

Quote #9

The King requires your life in payment, says Pinch. It's simple. You give yourself to him and they all go free. Your precious brother, your innocent little sister and your friends. (9.699)

And here we go, people—the moment of truth. Saba has proven time and time again that she's willing to risk (and even sacrifice) her life for Lugh, but now it's about Emmi. You know, Emmi—that annoying little sister Saba has been complaining about since we've met her. This is the moment that Saba finally proves her love for her sister by willingly giving up her own life to save hers.
