look for the light

❛ Duty is sacrifice. It eclipses all things, even blood. All men of honor must pay its price.

❛ War is coming, to the whole of the realm.❜

❛ I am indebted to you. ❜

❛ I'm afraid. ❜

❛ We should've just killed her when we had the chance. ❜

❛ When the king speaks, Your Grace, all hear it. ❜

❛ I find myself wondering...do we pursue the same end? ❜

❛ You must accept that the path to victory now is one of violence. ❜

❛ Did you think I would wither in your absence? ❜

❛ You only blame me because your true enemies are out of reach. ❜

❛ She holds love for our enemy. That makes her a fool. ❜

❛ I promise you, you will have all the vengeance that you seek, but you must keep a grip on your impulses. ❜

❛ Do anything but what I ask, and I'll bleed the whole lot of ya. ❜

❛ The gods punish us. They punish me. ❜

❛ This is not the time for blind accusations. We'll know who did this soon enough. ❜

❛ I will not be seen as weak. ❜

❛ Sometimes, we have to pretend. ❜

❛ I cannot trust you. I've never trusted you, wholly, much though I wished to, willed myself to. But now I have seen that your heart belongs only to you. ❜

❛ You think me some kind of monster. ❜

❛ You're pathetic. ❜

❛ We can afford no further mistakes. ❜

❛ You are mad. Mad! You cannot think that I did this! ❜

❛ You would send me to my death. ❜

❛ I would remind you only that when princes lose their temper, it is often others who suffer. ❜

❛ I see all your great adventures have done nothing for your looks. ❜

❛ For too long, I made it my aim to be of consequence. But now, I see that was the wish of a child. ❜

❛ I wish to spill blood, not ink! ❜

❛ Instead of judgment, you display impetuousness, and diminish us in the eyes of our enemy! ❜

❛ Fuck dignity! I want revenge. ❜

❛ They wish now not for the good of the realm, but for the petty satisfaction of vengeance. ❜

❛ Soon they will not even remember what it was that began the war in the first place. ❜

❛ There is no war so hateful to the gods as a war between kin. ❜

❛ I'm as fearsome as any of them. ❜

❛ You showed me grace when you could have withheld it. I'm not often surprised. ❜

❛ I cannot promise to make you happy. But I ask you: make this sacrifice willingly, for all of us. ❜

❛ If you've not yet surmised, you are welcome here. ❜

❛ Sin begets sin begets sin. ❜

❛ If dragons begin fighting dragons, we invite our own destruction. ❜

❛ Do not coddle me. Grant me at least that dignity. ❜

❛ Sadness is a condition of motherhood. ❜

❛ You have as much claim to grief as anyone. ❜

❛ Tales take on a life of their own, like weeds. Unless they are tended. ❜

❛ Always coming and going, aren't you? And I have to clean up afterwards. ❜

❛ You will die in this place. ❜

❛ I have been, at times, unkind, but never untrue. ❜

❛ You must go before you are discovered. ❜

❛ Your mother must've been very beautiful. ❜

❛ You should've burned them when you had the chance. ❜

❛ Is there no honor left in this world? ❜

❛ This is a better death than a traitor deserves. You should thank me for it. ❜

❛ I will not be made to look a fool in front of my allies and enemies. ❜

❛ I believe it is a sin to deny your appetites. They are what make us fully alive as mortal men. ❜

❛ If I may be so bold, you have not seemed yourself of late. ❜

❛ I've barely had the hours to grieve one tragedy before suffering the next. ❜

❛ I've come to know the face of tortured rest well enough. ❜

❛ Do you think simply wearing the crown imbues you with wisdom? ❜

❛ You have no idea the sacrifices that were made to put you on that throne. ❜

❛ What would you have me do? ❜

❛ Do simply what is needed of you: nothing. ❜

❛ Where have you been, these last days? You vanished without so much as a word.❜

❛ There are those who have mistaken my caution for weakness. Let that be their undoing. ❜

❛ If you die, all is lost. ❜

❛ The horrors I have just loosed cannot be for a crown alone. ❜

❛ Do you take issue with me? ❜

❛ I can sit still no longer. I must act. ❜

❛ I did not think they would be so eager to die. ❜

❛ I need them alive. I came here to raise swords, not corpses. ❜

❛ Will you goad me? When your bread and shelter now depend on my pleasure? ❜

❛ I mislike feeling powerless. ❜

❛ I do not know my part. The path I walk has never been trod. ❜

❛ What you cannot do, let others do for you. ❜

❛ There is more than one way to fight a war. ❜

❛ I do not wish to stand alone. ❜

❛ Has your loyalty faded? Or does it flourish only at night and flee the sunrise like a moth? ❜

❛ What we must do now is... terrible. ❜

❛ This is not war. These are crimes against the innocent, that any upright man would repudiate. ❜

❛ And once again, in the name of power, it's the weak and the women who must endure. ❜

❛ Was it worth the price? ❜

❛ I caution you, boldness is one thing, but overconfidence… ❜

❛ You have the impetuousness of youth, and its arrogance, neither of which is to be desired in a king. ❜

❛ Have the indignities of your childhood not yet sufficiently been avenged? ❜

❛ To claim a dragon, you must also be prepared to die. ❜

❛ You can't possibly still be angry about this. ❜

❛ You weren't going to bid me farewell? ❜

❛ It is your way, is it not? When something does not please you, you run. ❜

❛ There are older things in this world than you or I, or living memory. ❜

❛ You are not the player, but a piece on the board. As am I, for that matter. ❜

❛ It is my fault, I think, that you have forgotten to fear me. ❜

❛ It was worth the risk, no matter the outcome. ❜

❛ The enemy without may be fought with swords. The enemy within is more insidious. ❜

❛ Do you take me for a fool? ❜

❛ Oh, you make an art of provoking me. ❜

❛ Stop wasting your life waiting for something that'll never come. ❜

❛ I'm sure you did your best. ❜

❛ They will underestimate you, and this will be your advantage. ❜

❛ If the gods call me to greater things, who am I to refuse them? ❜

❛ Nothing is clean here. ❜

❛ The order of things has changed. Why not embrace it? ❜

❛ It does seem to me that you've made rather a mess here. ❜

❛ I don't need their love. I need their swords. ❜

❛ Mind your tongue. ❜

❛ I mislike all of this. ❜

❛ It seems you need us more than we need you. ❜

❛ So, what was the fucking point in all this then? ❜

❛ It's best to live, I think. However you do it. ❜

❛ You are not alone. ❜

❛ Will you prepare to face such an enemy? Or will you stay here and make yourself easy? ❜

❛ If you hinder our efforts through sloth or unreadiness, I will see you hanged, and your body fed to the dogs in the street. ❜

❛ You've arrived just in time to see my new army. What do you think of it? ❜

❛ This place will have you barking at the moon. ❜

❛ We must all make our sacrifices. ❜

❛ 'Tis no longer our rule that is threatened, our very lives. ❜

❛ Perhaps all men are corrupt and true honor is a mist that melts in the morning. ❜

❛ The dragons dance, and men are like dust under their feet. ❜

❛ We march now toward our annihilation. ❜

❛ There will be time enough to see which one of us is a coward. ❜

❛ There are omens here for those who seek them. ❜

❛ It's all a story and you are but one part in it. You know your part. ❜

❛ I am meant to serve you, and all of these with me, until death or the end of our story. ❜

❛ Be strong. You know you are just. ❜

❛ History will paint you a villain. ❜

❛ I am at last myself, with no ambition greater than to walk where I please and to breathe the open air. To die unremarked and unnoticed and be free. ❜

❛ You speak as if from a distant dream. ❜

❛ Come with me. ❜

"No...  thanks  for  getting  me  here.  For  ──  for  making  it  so  I  could  be  who  I  wound  up  being."

"You  brought  me  here.  You  gave  me  a  chance,  and  I  know  I  can  never  repay  you."

"It  is  not  too  late  to  walk  back  from  something  decided."

"It's  gotta  stop,  [Name].  It's  not  supposed  to  be  like  this.  I  know  it  can  be  better."

"All  of  us  together...  we'll  be  their  worst  damn  nightmare."

"I  wasn't  sure  if  you'd  make  it  back  before──  but  just  in  case,  you  know,  I  wanted  to  make  sure  I  was  able  to  say  goodbye,  so  I  wrote  these."

"You  don't  want  to  do  this.  I  know  it.  I  can  see  it."

"There's  gotta  be  something  after."

"If  you've  got  something  to  say...  say  it."

"We  can't  let  'em  get  away  with  this  shit."

"I'd  do  it  again.  I'd  have  to.  Even  knowing  it  would  feel  this  way."

"This  was  our  world.  Apart  from  everyone  else.  In  every  way."

"We  came  here  to  ask  for  your  help."

"Let  me  come  with  you.  Just  until  they're  gone."

"That  garbage  ──  that  sticks  with  you."

"They  are  out  there  somewhere."

"We're  gonna  get  out  of  this."

"Promise  me  I'll  see  you  again."

"I  realized  this  whole  place  was  a  canvas,  that  we  were  the  paint.  We  could  create  something  new.  We  could  become  something  new."

"You'd  better  have  a  good  reason  for  killing  us  other  than  thinking  it'll  make  you  feel  better  ──  because  it  won't."

"Don't  you  get  it?  Killing  is  the  punishment."

"I  want  to  go  home.  I  do,  more  than  anything.  But  I  can't  leave."

"I  didn't  want  her  dead.  I  just  wanted  her  gone."

"How  did  he  die?  Was  it  us?"

"Do  not  let  any  more  of  your  shit  decisions  cost  you  anyone  else  you  love."

"I  mean,  there  had  to  be  a  better  place  to  call  home."

"This  is  your  decision.  You  own  it."

i think i'm at the end of my rope.

you’re so fucking scared of change, and it’s really fucking boring.

what is wrong with loving someone who happens to have money?

i just don’t like other people.

i don't have low self esteem. i have low esteem for everyone else.

doesn’t anybody have any respect for the dead?

pain is the price we pay for joy, and it’s a fair trade.

that’s just how our fights go.

i’m uninterested in living in the past like you are.

i always slept better with you.

you’re starting a war you can’t win.

people are always so sweaty when they die.

you swear that you’ll love me forever?

i think i’ll pass on risking my life.

would’ve thought i was a biscuit the way you’re buttering me up.

if a mistake was made back there, it was mine.

is the smug taunting necessary?

do you always do that — the self sabotage?

it’s okay if you hate me.

that wasn’t exactly me thriving.

when they broke up with me, i felt like, “great, i have nobody. again.”

i’m trying to be your friend, but sometimes you make it really hard.

we are so far past sorry.

we didn’t break anything. it’s just entering.

i just don’t recognize myself anymore.

i was hoping you’d do that thing where you see the good in me.

i’m just not great at anything.

it was weird not having you around today. i missed you.

i just went along with it when you said you just wanted to be friends. i like you. i like you a lot more than that.

really not in the mood to pump your ego. 

legends don’t need trophies.

don’t act surprised, i know you’re not surprised. 

you think you’re the only one here who’s hiding something?

you ever fall in love with someone you haven’t even talked to?

you have no idea what it’s like to be alone.

it’s not love. it’s ambition. 

everything’s different, nothing’s going right.

whatever we do, we do it together.

i forgive you, but we can’t be together.

just because you don’t like the call doesn’t mean it’s not the right one.

we always did make a great team.

maybe we just give it one more shot.

what happened to ‘we already tried this 100 times’?

this isn’t gonna work. we always just end up in the same place. 

i don’t wanna be angry with you. but i would love if i could be your friend.

i don’t like the idea of us doing things separately. 

i think i might be mad at you forever. i hate that.

every single day you make the decision to protect me.

go fuck some shit up.

you were always afraid to throw a punch, but you always knew how to take one.

felt like something got lost.

some things you just can’t fix.

i don’t live in the past. 

i’ve never seen you like this. so vulnerable. honestly, it’s kind of a turn off.

i’ve been telling you who you are ever since day one.

best thing about telling a lie is when you get to tell the truth.

i think everyone can smell my anxiety.

maybe without me nothing bad would’ve happened, but without me, nothing would’ve happened period.

i was always so proud that a person as good as you could love me. but you don’t love me.

stop pleading. it’s pathetic.

i don’t want to be scared anymore. i don’t want to be sad.

nothing changes if we don’t want it to.

who reads a room better than you?

tonight’s the night you decided to make friends?

if you wanna make the world a better place, stop making it worse.

you’re the only family i’ve got left.

everything bad that has ever happened in my life has been because of you.

i’m really good at second first impressions.

let’s just take a breath, try to not spin out.

just an FYI, the vibes in here are not good. 

i don’t wanna run anymore. i just wanna be okay.

i’m famously a gigantic pussy. for me, even looking someone in the eyes is an act of heroism. 

you don’t have to be tough right now. not with me.

you’re real. and i am. and that is the only thing that matters.

i love you. but sometimes i really hate you.

i was just being an asshole.

seems like this town’s not the only thing that’s changed.

you left. i stayed. 

i want a badass scar like yours. 

i tend to have this weird loyalty thing for people who saved my life.

i’m trying to apologize and you’re acting like a fucking baby.

you’re just gonna have to get used to people being thoughtful for the sake of it.

can you not do the thing you always do? fixate?

everything i ever imagined, you blew it right out of the water. 

i’m charming. i’m a fucking prince.

i have never felt like that before. i was fucking helpless.

those were just the experiences that i haven’t repressed yet.

just try being the opposite of yourself.

i need to get out of the sun.

you know you’re different. you feel it, don’t you?

we figure out a way. i’m with you.

at some point, the forgiveness runs out.

i didn’t know if we were gonna punch or kiss.
