“What you don’t understand,” I explained to Simmon one afternoon as we sat under the pennant pole, “is that men fall for Denna all the time. Do you know what that’s like for her? How tiresome it is? I am one of her few friends. I won’t risk that. I won’t throw myself at her. She doesn’t want it. I will not be one of the hundred cow-eyed suitors who go mooning after her like love-struck sheep.”

so you're a pussy...

"I have known her longer, my smile said. True, you have been inside the circle of her arms, tasted her mouth, felt the warmth of her, and that is something I have never had. But there is a part of her that is only for me. You cannot touch it, no matter how hard you might try. And after she has left you I will still be here, making her laugh. My light shining in her."

dude you're so friendzoned just stfo...

"Denna took a step away from me, muttering and rubbing at her eyes. The part of my arm where her hand had rested suddenly felt very cold."

You're a creepy little nerd Kvothe...

"So we rode in silence. It was nice just being near her. You wouldn’t think a girl in bandages with a blackened eye could be beautiful, but Denna was. Lovely as the moon: not flawless, perhaps, but perfect."

CUT THIS SHIT PATRICK FUCKING ROTHFUSS!

"The last thing I wanted to do was convince her I was crazy with wild stories of the Chandrian...."

I know why I didn't finish this in so long, I hate this girl the main character is in love with, he just said like 3 pages ago that he was willing to kill 10 horses to know ANYthing about the "chandrian" but he's not willing to lie the girl he knows shit about, fucking nerds
