“I adore you. I want to play games with you. I want to tell you all the truths if I have to give. And if you really think you're a monster, then let's be monsters together.”
“And if I send you away even after this speech? If I don't want you?”
“Then I'll go, and adore you from afar. And compose ballads about you or something.”
“You could make me love you.”

“You would have done the same for me.”
“I would not.”
“Liar.”

“Heartsworn can cut through anything. It once cut through an otherwise invulnerable serpent's head and broke a curse. You can see why I'd like it.”
“That hardly seems fair.”
“What makes you think I am interested in fairness.”
They could never make me hate you, Jude 😩🙏

→“I assume that last is a dig at the High King, well known for leaving the fighting to his wife.”
(TPT)
→“He must be the coward everyone says, letting you fight his battles.”
“I don't mind fighting.”

“I will cut your throat.”
“Stabbity stab, knife wife.”
THIS SENT ME IM SORRY

“What do you want?”
“Everything. Charm me. Rip me open. Ruin me. Go too far.”
“You cannot understand. I am a chasm that will never be full. I am hunger. I am need. I cannot be sated. If you try, I will swallow you up. I will take all of you and want more. I will use you. I will drain you until you are nothing more than a husk.”
“Use me, then.”

“I want you.”
“And what are you going to do about it?”
“Pine, I suppose.”
“Arent you tired of that?”
“What else is there?”
“What if I said you could have me? Have me and keep me.”
GOODBYE

“She is not for you. Feel as sorry for her as you like. Desire her if you must. But do not marry her. I will not have you stolen from us again.”
she would've thrived on the "boy mom" side of TikTok (derogatory).

“In ballads, love is a disease, an affliction. You contract it as a mortal might contract one of their viruses. Perhaps a touch of hands or a brush of lips, and then it is as though your whole body is fevered and fighting it. But there's no way to prevent it from running its course.”
“That's a remarkably poetic and profoundly awful view of love.”
“I was never in love before, so all I had were ballads to go by.”

“This is nonsensical. Surely you could tell I liked it, I even liked it when you bit me. On the shoulder, remember? I might have a few tiny scars yet from the points of your teeth.”
“Don't be ridiculous.”
“Unfair. When I so love being ridiculous.”
