The Crows

"It's never bothered me."

"Please. I want to be alone."

"Aren't you cold? I'm freezing."

"This is the guy she's to marry?"

"Don't make a man drink alone."

"In fairness, I never tried to kill her."

"You're acting like a petulant child."

"Not in the mood for a drink. Or a man."

"I'm not in the mood for a hope speech."

"And I warn you… don't underestimate it."

"I didn't try to kill her. I just left her to die."

"Are you here to try kidnapping me again?"

"I assure you, my situation is only temporary."

"I warn you: do not overestimate your power."

"I've had eight hours of sleep in the last week."

"Dirty? I bathe quite regularly I'll have you know."

"Don't you tell me what I do or don't understand."

"Do you really think that redemption is possible?"

"So, this is what a man who always wins looks like."

"Your voice can soothe even the most haunted soul."

"But, as you can see, I've retained my youthful glow."

"You'll have to excuse us, but this is family business."

"Your strange fixation really holds no interest for me."

"Your stories went poorly because you made bad choices."

"You ruined my life. And there is no coming back from that."

"Whatever you're up to, it'll never work. The game is rigged."

"I suppose that's better than blaming bad judgement and gin."

"I see the way you two look at one another. And I understand."

"It doesn't matter what I believe. What matters is that you do."

"My job is not done until I do that for everyone. Including you."

"One wrong move, and you'll be hopping out of here as a toad."

"Besides, you don't need a speech. You need a drinking buddy."

"This ghastly place is my home. And I didn't ask for any visitors."

"We all have something in common, apart from mutual distaste."

"There has to be another way. You deserve your happy ending, too."

"By sundown, everyone in this town will start tearing each other apart."

"If I have to choose between everyone else and me, me wins every time."

"Now, who's going to tell me what the hell I'm doing in this ghastly place?"

"If you love someone enough to ruin your entire life for, it's always worth it."

"I know who I am and what I want. And right now… it's your head on a spike."

"I could probably even defeat you and decorate this place with your bones. Shall I try?"

"I am a monster. Not because of my powers, but because of what I let them turn me into."

"I pick flowers, I talk to birds, I do all kind of warm fuzzy things. You know what else? I kill."

"Should have known you'd be old-fashioned, given your age. What are you, like three hundred?"

"You're never gonna be alone. Other than when I'm not around, but even then, I'll be there in spirit."

"It may not happen as quickly as you want, but, if you stay the course, your happiness will come."

"If his heart leads him to me, fine. But if it does what I suspect and leads to you… I will step out of the way."

"I'm going to give you a potion that possesses the power to transform something old into something new."

"The only way to ever truly be in control of your powers is to embrace them. Because this… this is who you are."

"If you had a family of your own, if you had love, you'd know you shouldn't do this. You wouldn't have to be so cruel."

"In my defense! I did not mean to get shot." Jesper held out his hands, trying his charming grin on Nina bur it slipped slightly when she mentioned Wylan. "Dont...dont tell him. Please. He's...he still freaks out about this stuff and I dont want him to know."

“It’ll pass. Stay with me.”

“It’s okay. Don’t scream. It’s me.“

“No, you’re not keeping the horse.“

“Oh, you never want to listen to reason.”

“Your words mean nothing. You are nothing.“

“What do monsters have nightmares about?“

“It looks kind of abandoned. Anyone on board?“

“Will you stop following me? I’m not your mother.“

“None of this was ever supposed to happen to you.“

“Lonely then and lonelier now. How can you bear it?“

“Is this, like, normal for you? Is this an average day?“

“Even monsters from under the bed have nightmares.”

“You, stay exactly where you are. Hold still, let me look.“

“It’s a spaceship. Brilliant! I got a spaceship on my first go.“

“Oh, you are beautiful! No, really, you are. You’re gorgeous!“

“One may tolerate a world of demons for the sake of an angel.“

“What happened to the ship, then? There was a lot of damage.“

“Answer his question. Answer any and all questions put to you.“

“What do you mean, alone? You’ve never been alone in your life.“

“Just a nightmare, don’t worry about it. Everyone has nightmares.”

“Are you there? Can you hear me? I need you, now. You promised.“

“Every time, it’s rule one. Don’t wander off. I tell them, I do. Rule one.“

“I have seen your world, and I have no desire to set foot there, again.“

“What’s in a name? Names are just titles. Titles don’t tell you anything.“

“So impertinent a question so early in the conversation. How promising.“

“He has watched over me my whole life and he will not desert me tonight.“

“There are creatures… I don’t even think they’re human. We can’t stop them.”

“You know what, I’ll just have a quick scan, in case there’s anything dangerous.“

“And you do not appear to have aged a single day. That is tremendously impolite of you.“

"In my defense! I did not mean to get shot." Jesper held out his hands, trying his charming grin on Nina bur it slipped slightly when she mentioned Wylan. "Dont...dont tell him. Please. He's...he still freaks out about this stuff and I dont want him to know."

-NEGATIVE:

When Jesper never came back Kaz went right back to Nina's "heretic". He wouldn't loose any more people. Never again. Inej didn't comment as much as he thought she might, just said a quick prayer and followed him into the tent.

She was worried for their missing Crows.

The woman extracted more money than before, sending two cost more. Same assurances as before, no guarantee of a return, no guarantee of living through the flash of light. Kaz wondered for a moment if she had been the one to send Wylan away in the first place. If she was he'd deal with her later. For now he had to find his people.

The light blinded him and he had the uncomfortable need to reach out and grab Inej's hand. A need he pushed down. No need to be sick. When his eyes cleared he found himself standing in the middle of a crowded bar that had suddenly gone quiet. His eyes locked with an older man, clearly in charge, and he set both hands on his cane.

"Boss...Im staying too. To be with Wylan."

"If I have to walk in on those two again, I might just rip my eyes out." She complained, walking behind the bar.

"Where are they?" Dwight asked.

"Well, Wylan does. Jesper is just....Jesper." Jade said as the two mentioned men walked into the bar.

"Boss!" Jespers face broke into a wide grin, quicklt crossing the room to stand next to Kaz. "You came to get us?"
