Teaser Tuesday - The Way of Kings

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just:
* Grab your current read
* Open to a random page
* Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
* BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
* Share the title and author, too, so that other Teaser Tuesday participants can add the book to their To Be Read (TBR) Lists if they like your teasers!

----------
This passage made me giggle - The ardent (sort of a holy teacher/priest, I think), has just threatened to dance a jig on the table unless Shallan stops treating him so reverently.  She begs him not to...

The Tease:
 ""Are you certain?" he glanced at the desk appraisingly.
"Yes," Shallan said, imagining the ardent teetering and making a misstep, then falling off the balcony and plunging dozens of feet to the ground below.
"Please, I promise not to respect you any longer!""
 -The Way of Kings, by Brandon Sanderson

What's your Tease?

    Hahah, that's definitely a good teaser. Nice choice! I'll have to take a closer look on that one as well, I'm not sure if I've seen it before.

    My teaser is from a book I absolutely loved; Divergent! Click to be teased!
