โ iโm also worried about me, but i somehow seem to be worried about you more. โ
โ you put the stars to shame. letโs sit here a little while - i want to drink you in. โ
โ iโd tell you not to get in trouble, but i suspect it will find you whether you like it or not. โ
โ well, this seems as good a time as any for me to stop babbling on. โ
โ i justโฆ.need some airโฆclear my head. โ
โ itโs been a long time since i shed a tear. i donโt even know how long. โ
โ i had a feeling youโd show up. itโs sort of our thing. like itโs fate or something. โ
โ i do appreciate your enthusiasm, but let's try to restrain ourselves a little. โ
โ if that was an attempt at flirting, i should let you know i prefer the strong, silent type. โ
โ no matter how far you come, youโre still on the road to ruin. โ
โ i thought you a hunter. wrong. youโre prey - small. snivelling. pathetic. โ
โ and what am i owed? what about the injustices iโve suffered - am i not entitled to anything? โ
โ i canโt help but feel the strangest twinge of disgust as i look upon you. โ
โ i trust that you will continue to remember who is really on your side. โ
โ better a short life built on truth than immortality woven of lies. โ
โ i wonโt make excuses. i canโt make amends. but i want to help, if youโll let me. โ
โ gods, itโs horrifyingโฆand a touch fascinating. โ
โ there are many names for you --- and all of them inspire dread. โ
โ destiny is at your door; wonโt you at least twitch the curtain? โ
โ the gravest crimes committed in this world are committed for love. a hunger crueller than bloodlust. โ
โ youโve got a backbone, and the makings of a leader. โ
โ revenge sounds so sweet until youโve taken it. then all you have isโฆno one left to blame. โ
โ some mistakes canโt be resolved with an apology. some mistakes, you have to carry with you, forever. โ
โ youโre plotting something, arenโt you? come on then - out with it. โ
โ this is not good, if i may state the obvious. โ
โ think of all weโve been through just to get to this moment. that wasnโt luck. that was us. โ
โ feel like i should laugh but iโm just too godsdamned tired. โ
โ there is something i lostโฆno, had taken from me. i want it all back. โ
โ careful - youโre in very real danger of hurting my feelings. โ
โ one thing iโve learned - real saviours never label themselves as such. โ
โ less thinking of bad thoughts, and more breaking of bad bones. โ
โ i rather like interfering. itโs kind of my thing. โ
โ evil is evil, even if it once was innocent. โ
โ you know, i've been catching myself smiling more lately. i think that's your fault.. โ
โ oh, iโm no innocent. but evil? you tell me. โ
โ i still want to believe youโre better than that. but even i am having my doubts. โ
โ i canโt afford to lose my nerve. safer to just not think, and keep forging ahead. โ
โ when all this is over, will you stay with me? for good? โ
โ this is not good, if i may state the obvious. โ
โ is there a reason you're always such an utter drip? do you have some sort of condition? honestly, it's like you hate good news. โ
โ all of natureโs beauty pales in comparison to you. โ
โ i canโt save you from yourself. it hurts terribly, but i canโt. โ
โ if i seem suddenly flush with hope and soft feeling, you have only yourself to blame. โ
โ is there good and evil within us all? โ
โ iโve been watching you fight. your skills are improving. โ
โ you know, for all the sense of dread and horror seeping through this place, i really feel quite at home here. โ
โ and you? youโre wholly without vice or sin or the occasional lapse in judgement? โ
โ i wager you donโt even know how extraordinary you truly are. but i do. โ
โ one might say youโre paragon of luck. iโll be there when it runs out. โ
โ i've always had a soft spot for the confident onesโฆthey always disappoint though. โ
โ i concealed nothing from you. i simply left out the details that were not pertinent. โ
โ youโre an odd friend. but, i suppose, a friend still. โ
โ i wonโt let you do this. i wonโt let you win. โ
โ you are my puppet. make no mistake. without me, you have no value. โ
โ well, this seems like a lovely little spot. the sense of impending doom aside. โ
โ whoever your enemies are, they have good reason to fear you. โ
โ this place is astonishing, a bardโs tale made real. โ
โ i may not regret my actions, but i do regret that they were necessary. โ
โ experience has taught me that no matter how bleak things look, thereโs always hope. โ
โ if this adventure has taught me anything, itโs that there are things in this world more valuable than power. โ
โ a wise man learns from his mistakes, and strives not to repeat them. โ
โ no more hiding things from me. agreed? โ
โ my friend. my companion. i adore you. โ
โ your face is sour. by all means leave, if i am so distasteful. โ
โ careful, itโs dark around here. would be a terrible shame to lose you forever. โ
โ you startled me. iโฆi was miles away. โ
โ you have to know who i was. you have to know who i really am. โ
โ nothing special, of course. youโre only the first person who i truly care for. โ
โ youโve got a backbone, and the makings of a leader. โ
โ anything you ask, iโll answer as honestly as i can. โ
