“Just because you have the power to help, doesn’t mean you should further injure yourself to provide it. You have done all you can,” she said firmly, cutting off whatever argument had been forming in my mouth. “Do not give more until you have more to give.” “Kor’ínthe is correct, of course,” Safir agreed as she fell into step beside us.”
Rachel Rener, Synced

“Um, are you okay? I can’t imagine what it must be like, coming back here after so many years.” “I’m fine.” “Really?” He exhaled sharply. “No…not really. But it’s easier to push all of that aside for the moment and deal with what needs to be done right now. Know what I mean?” I let out an ungainly snort. “Do I know what it’s like to push uncomfortable feelings as far down as I possibly can and live my life in a state of constant denial and repression? Nah, no idea.”
Rachel Rener, Linked

“Unless there actually is something going on between Ori and Rowan,”
