"And you can tell my uncle boykiller that he can cut the head off every child from here to the capital. It won't make him into a king, it will simply mean he has no one left to fuck."

this right here is the sickest burn in every sense of that expression ever!

"They are surely gods who speak to him /
With steady voices / A glance from him drives men to their knees / His sigh brings cities to ruin / I wonder if he dreams of surrender / On a bed of white flowers / Or is that the mistaken hope / Of every would-be conqueror? / The world was not made for beauty like his."

i always adored this song quote so much and the intentions that get across in this scene

it's interesting to see how the more laurent trusts damen the more he talks about august, random tidbits amd personal memories.

"Damen now knew the precise number of arrows Laurent needed to have trained on him in order to shut him up. It was six."

they can be right in the middle of an ambush but damen will still find a way to snark... i love him

Damen felt it then, the first dizzy edge of new emotion, and he let go his hold of Laurent like a man fearing a precipice; and yet was helpless. "

okay okay okay, here we are again!!

Perhaps if you were not a foot taller, or quite so broad across the shoulders."

"It's considerably less than a foot," said Damen.

"Is it?" said Laurent. "It feels like more when you argue with me on points of honor."

listen..... I LOVE THEM!!
