consider
The dandified Attolian who had spoken, a patron, but not a baron by any means ... laughed. His laughter was edged with contempt. “It would be a long trip, Your Majesty, I would so much rather hear the answer from you.”
“Oh, the trip would be quicker than you think, said the king, pleasantly. “Most of my male cousins are dead.”
... [Ornon] looked across the tables at the young man whose insult had roused the danger. That one, he thought, looking at the courtier’s white face, had looked Eugenides in the eye. He knew how near disaster he had been. ... The queen spoke, “I’m sorry.”
“For what?” asked her husband.
“For that man. I would have seen you send him after your cousins gladly except that he is an undersecretary for provisions to the navy.”
and 
A junior naval officer on [Eddis’s] left, a younger son of an insignificant baron, having seen her mildness and mistaken it for meekness, said condescendingly, “The Pent ships are of little use without cannon.”
Boagus immediately kicked him so hard in the back of the leg that the man dropped to his knees. 
As the naval officer looked up at the queen, much astonished, Eddis said, in the same pleasant voice she’d used all day, “Now you don’t have to talk down to me.” ... Attolia waved her hand, a hostess offering up her junior naval officer as a canape.
Eddis graciously offered him a hand to rise, and the young man, who’d had plenty of time to see his life as well as his career pass before his eyes, bowed and apologized to her, to his queen, to the whole room. He even apologized to Boagus.
I don’t know enough about Attolian naval hierarchies to know whether this is the same guy, but is this the same guy?!
“undersecretary” does sound more high ranking, so maybe not, but still. If we had a coin for every time an Attolian naval officer insulted Gen or Helen and massively regretted it, we’d have at least two coins...

"A story doesn't need a theme in order to be good" I'm only saying this once but a theme isn't some secret coded message an author weaves into a piece so that your English teacher can talk about Death or Family. A theme is a summary of an idea in the work. If the story is "Susan went grocery shopping and saw a weird bird" then it might have themes like 'birds don't belong in grocery stores' or 'nature is interesting and worth paying attention to' or 'small things can be worth hearing about.' Those could be the themes of the work. It doesn't matter if the author intended them or not, because reading is collaborative and the text gets its meaning from the reader (this is what "death of the author" means).
Every work has themes in it, and not just the ones your teachers made you read in high school. Stories that are bad or clearly not intended to have deep messages still have themes. It is inherent in being a story. All stories have themes, even if those themes are shallow, because stories are sentences connected together for the purpose of expressing ideas, and ideas are all that themes are.

She remade her, she held her bones in her hands and put each piece back together. Only to have to carry on without her.
Everything she did, she did for Falin
~
Inspired by The Locked Tomb and Howls Moving Castle, and also how hot these two look in these outfits/forms. This will be a future print for cons this year.
