you are too correct

The girls were wary of Madoc, and for good reason. I think Jude knows that Madoc loves them, but she also doesn't think that his love would protect them if he decided they were in the way. As for Taryn...I don't know man...maybe? She probably has a similar understanding of Madoc. It's not as if he makes a great big secret of caring for them. Even Oriana points out how he dotes on the girls. Jude loves him, and I don't think she would have gotten to that point if he didn't show her love, too. We don't hear Taryn say it, but it's not going too far out on a limb to say she loves Madoc, too.

The thing is they thought Madoc's patience with them had an extremely short limit, but I don't think that's true. Vivi outright disrespects him to his face and does whatever she feels like, and I know Jude thinks its because she's the only one of them who is related to Madoc by blood, but she's not great at reading people. Look all the things she got away with, after all. Okay, yeah, Madoc ended up stabbing her, but you also have to remember he's a Fae with a finely honed instinct for battle. Him treating her as an equal on the battle field was a show of high respect, and doesn't necessarily mean he didn't love her. Later he goes on to try to give her legitimate guidance for acting as the sole ruler of Elfhame. He also never intended for Jude to be bound to the Jorel and Nore, and if they had succeeded with their scheme, I think he would have sworn violent and bloody vengeance on them. Madoc is for all intents and purposes, an actual, natural born, boogieman-story monster. Of course his version of love is going to look crazy.

"No." Says the tuna, "Do you?"

"I have never seen it." Says the whale, "but deep in my body, I remember it."

"Why do you care," says the tuna, "if you will never see it."

"There are bones in my body built to walk through the forests and the mountains." Says the whale.

"They will disappear." Says the tuna, "one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains."

"Maybe I don't want to forget," Says the whale, "The forests were once my home."

"I have seen the forests." Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.

"Tell me what you have seen," says the whale.

"The forests spawned me." Says the salmon. "They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home."

"Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?" Asks the whale. "They have bounty of their own."

Last year I finally had an excuse to illustrate this simple little Tumblr story I've had bookmarked forever for class.
