“What is desire? Desire is a restaurant. Desire is watching you eat. Desire is pouring wine for you. Desire is looking at the menu and wondering what it would be like to kiss you. Desire is the surprise of your skin. Look - in between us now are the props of ordinary life - glasses, knives, cloths, Time has been here before. History has had you - and me too. My hand has brushed against yours for centuries. The props change, but not this. Not this single naked wanting you.”

— Jeanette Winterson, from The White Room

❛ i hope this raven finds you well… ❜

❛ you carry a sword, yet you are not a knight. ❜

❛ the gods must be angry. i sense a storm brewing. ❜ 

❛ there’s no place i’d rather be than by your side. ❜ 

❛ nobility is defined by what you do, not who you are. ❜

❛ i know how to keep my life and my crown. and i will. ❜ 

❛ well, i’m not a knight. not yet. ❜

❛ at least we’ll die with honor. ❜

❛ i’ve never seen a dragon before, what are they like? ❜

❛ this knife is laced with venom, any sudden movements and you’re dead. ❜ 

❛ of all the idiots in the realm, i’m trapped with you. ❜ 

❛ shed no tears for me. i will be back before you know it. ❜ 

❛ i’m sorry, but i’m to be married to someone else. ❜ 

❛ here’s a copper for your thoughts. and a silver not to tell them. ❜ 

❛ you humans are most amusing. ❜ 

❛ may i have this dance? ❜ 

❛ you were made to be ruled. ❜ 

❛ i will protect you. it is my duty, knight or not. ❜

❛ my kingdom is in danger. i’ve come to ask for your aid. ❜ 

❛ i’ve got a date with destiny, and it won’t end in a kiss. unfortunately. ❜ 

❛ keep your sword up and your back straight. ❜

❛ you’re asking me to commit treason. ❜

❛ you will make a fine ruler one day. ❜ 

❛ no curse of mine shall befall you from my dying breath. ❜

❛ you should see me in a crown. ❜ 

❛ bury me shallow, i will be back. ❜

❛ bard! play something a little more upbeat. ❜ 

❛ i warn you, i’ve been trained to kill since birth. ❜

❛ my magic is useless against them. i’ve never felt so powerless. ❜ 

❛ how can it be my destiny to protect someone who hates me? ❜ 

❛ i am at your mercy, your grace. ❜ 

❛ do not be afraid, little one. i will not hurt you. ❜ 

❛ any man who must say ‘i am the king’ is no true king. ❜

❛ knights must prevail with steel and sinew alone. ❜

❛ impudent of you to assume i will meet a mortal end. ❜

❛ spare me the ‘i’ve come to slay you’ speech and let’s get on with it. ❜ 

❛ it is my duty to protect the last of the dragons. ❜

❛ do i look like the kind of person who dies? ❜

❛ we are king and queen, chained together like prisoners in a dungeon. ❜ 

❛ for every great ruler, there is an equally great assassin poised to kill. ❜

❛ my bloodline was wiped out before my eyes. i’m the last heir. ❜ 

❛ you look better in your wanted posters. ❜ 

❛ you don’t need a king. a knight can make another knight. ❜

❛ violence for violence is the rule for beasts. ❜

❛ fear cuts deeper than swords. ❜

❛ pick a god and pray to it. ❜

❛ i’d rather die than marry you. ❜ 

❛ my duty is to my people. ❜ 

❛ glad to see you haven’t become food for the vultures. ❜ 

❛ i will paint the throne red with your blood. ❜ 

❛ what’s a life threatening quest without a bit of music? ❜ 

❛ some of us may not survive, but the ones that do will get the ultimate reward… paid. ❜

so, if matthew can hear diana's heartbeat all the time i'm guessing that's a vampire trait in general. which, also tells me there's got to be a learning curve ( i'm thinking about my characterization for clark kent here ) on filtering that out so you don't get driven crazy on hearing every heartbeat every single second of the day.

for the sake of applying this to gallowglass, he has learned to shut out everything but what he needs to hear. for instance, he learned diana's heartbeat when she was very young. this allows him to be a respectable distance away and not be noticeable. i think that's also how he's able to keep watch on her and not be immediately noticed by matthew.

and if you don't think gallowglass is standing in a corner judging the ever-loving daylights out of matthew, you're wrong.

[inkpromise]

forever wondering how matthew and diana fell in love.

i find it interesting that gallowglass has turned down the opportunity to lead the knights of lazarus or, at least, a provincial sect of them. their mission is something he firmly believes in and i don't think it has anything to do with a fear of leading.

the more i think about it, i think turning something like that down has more to do with staying out of internal power struggles. i think even that is less about his own place of power rather than someone else's. for instance, he mentions his own bloodline coming from phillipe whereas matthew's comes from yseabeau. that insinuation seems to be that gallow's hierarchy is technically higher than matthew's despite how everything generally plays out. namely, with gallow being willingly subservient to matthew.

which also makes me wonder if hugh chose him for his ability to be a peacemaker as much as his ability to be a very impressive shield. gallow may hate the politics but he's better at navigating them than anyone might guess at first glance. i also wonder if it's all the internal, familial politics that makes him so reluctant to play games anywhere else.
