❝ This is what a king should look like. ❞
❝ Hungry again? ❞
❝ Is this one of the direwolves I’ve heard so much of? ❞

❝ I believe I was younger than you the first time I got truly and sincerely drunk. ❞
❝ He’s not like the others. ❞
❝ He never makes a sound. ❞
❝ Don’t you usually eat at the table with your brothers? ❞
❝ She thought it might give insult to the royal family to seat a bastard among them. ❞
❝ My brother does not seem very festive tonight. ❞
❝ The queen is angry, too. ❞
❝ He took the king down into the crypts this afternoon. The queen didn’t want him to go. ❞
❝ You don’t miss much, do you? ❞
❝ We could use a man like you. ❞
❝ Take me with you when you go. ❞
❝ Father will give me leave to go if you ask him, I know he will. ❞
❝ Bastards grow up faster than other children. ❞
❝ Someone should have told him that war isn’t a game. ❞
❝ I forget nothing. ❞
❝ I want to serve. ❞
❝ You don’t know what you’re asking. ❞
❝ We have no families. None of us will ever father sons. Our wife is duty. Our mistress is honor. ❞
❝ A bastard can have honor too. ❞
❝ I am ready to swear your oath. ❞
❝ Until you have known a woman, you cannot understand what you would be giving up. ❞
❝ I don’t care about that! ❞
❝ If you knew what the oath would cost you, you might be less eager to pay the price. ❞
❝ I’m not your son! ❞
❝ Come back to me after you’ve fathered a few bastards of your own, and we’ll see how you feel. ❞
❝ I will never father a bastard. Never. ❞
❝ I must be excused. ❞
❝ Is that animal a wolf? ❞
❝ What are you doing up there? ❞
❝ Why aren’t you at the feast? ❞
❝ Shy, isn’t he? ❞
❝ You can touch him now. He won’t move until I tell him to. I’ve been training him. ❞
❝ If I wasn’t here, he’d tear out your throat. ❞
❝ Did I offend you? ❞
❝ You have more of the North in you than your brothers. ❞
❝ Let me give you some counsel. ❞
❝ Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. ❞
❝ Make it your strength, then it can never be your weakness. Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you. ❞
❝ What do you know about being a bastard? ❞
❝ All dwarves are bastards in their father’s eyes. ❞
❝ I don’t even know who my mother was. ❞
❝ What are you doing here? ❞
❝ You’ve said it. Now go away. ❞
❝ I told you to leave. We don’t want you here. ❞
❝ He’s my brother. ❞
❝ Shall I call the guards? ❞
❝ You can’t stop me from seeing him. ❞
❝ I’m sorry I didn’t come before. I was afraid. ❞
❝ I have to go now. ❞
❝ I wanted him to stay here with me. ❞
❝ I prayed for it. He was my special boy. ❞
❝ Sometimes prayers are answered. ❞
❝ It wasn’t your fault. ❞
❝ I need none of your absolution. ❞
❝ It should have been you. ❞
❝ Leaving is harder than I thought. ❞
❝ You Starks are hard to kill. ❞
❝ I have one more farewell to make. ❞
❝ I was afraid you were gone. ❞
❝ What did you do now? ❞
❝ I have something for you to take with you. ❞
❝ This is no toy. ❞
❝ Be careful you don’t cut yourself. The edges are sharp enough to shave with. ❞
❝ You’ll have to work at it every day. ❞
❝ How does it feel? ❞
❝ First lesson, stick them with the pointy end. ❞
❝ I wish you were coming with us. ❞
❝ Different roads sometimes lead to the same castle. Who knows? ❞
❝ Put down the sword first. ❞
❝ I can only stomach so much ineptitude in any one day. ❞
❝ How often must I tell you no? ❞
❝ You broke my wrist. ❞
❝ I’ll break the other one for you if you ask nicely. ❞
❝ Look at me when I’m talking to you. ❞
❝ They hate me because I’m better than they are. ❞
❝ I’ve watched you fight. It’s not training with you; put a good edge on your sword, and they’d be dead meat. ❞
❝ You shame them. Does that make you proud? ❞
❝ You do want to know what’s on the other side, don’t you? ❞
❝ It’s nothing special. ❞
❝ No one cares where you sleep. Most of the old keeps are empty, you can pick any cell you want. ❞
❝ It’s better that I’m by myself. ❞
❝ Look, if you want, I can show you how to defend that. ❞
❝ There’s no honor in beating a fallen foe. ❞
❝ I’ve been bruised before. ❞
❝ If a bear attacked you in the woods, you’d be too stupid to run away. ❞
❝ Most men would rather deny a hard truth than face it. ❞
❝ Do you like to hunt? ❞
❝ I never thought it would be like this. ❞
❝ Last night I woke up in the dark and the fire had gone out, and I was certain I was going to freeze to death by morning. ❞
❝ I never saw snow until last month. ❞
❝ I’ll die if I have to climb that. ❞
❝ I don’t like high places. ❞
❝ Sometimes I dream about it. ❞
❝ I’m afraid of what might be waiting for me. ❞
❝ The old Kings of Winter are down there, sitting on their thrones with stone wolves at their feet and iron swords across their laps. ❞
❝ Please do not imagine that it will truly be that easy, should you think to defy me. ❞
❝ I don’t know what you did, but I know you did it. ❞
❝ I’ve never had a friend before. ❞
❝ We’re not friends, we’re brothers. ❞
❝ Are you well? ❞
❝ You planning to drink that all yourself? ❞
❝ You did all you could. ❞
❝ I would not disturb your rest if it were not important. ❞
❝ And if I refuse? ❞
❝ I can stand here all night if I must. ❞
❝ The mystery of a midnight visitor is a welcome diversion. ❞
❝ Why kill one, to no end? Make use of him instead. ❞
❝ It makes no matter. All that is past now. ❞
❝ The penalty for desertion is death. ❞
❝ Might I go as well? To say my words at this heart tree? ❞
❝ Why would you forsake the gods of your father and your house? ❞
❝ The Seven have never answered my prayers. Perhaps the Old Gods will. ❞
❝ And what will my duties be? ❞
❝ Do you take me for a servant? ❞
❝ Don’t you see what they’re doing? ❞
❝ He wanted to shame me, and he has. ❞
❝ I never asked for this. ❞
❝ Dark’s falling, and there’s something in the smell of the night that I mislike. ❞
❝ Tell me how they died. ❞
❝ The Others are only a story, a tale to make children shiver. ❞
❝ The king is dead. ❞
❝ The things we love destroy us every time. ❞
❝ This could not have happened at a worse time. ❞
❝ I hope you are not thinking of doing anything stupid. ❞
❝ Whatever they do in King’s Landing is none of our concern. ❞
❝ Be strong. The gods are cruel. ❞
❝ I will not sleep tonight. ❞
❝ Gods, he’s dead, he’s dead, I saw him dead! ❞
❝ A dead man tried to kill me. How well could I be? ❞
❝ You do not look well. How is your hand? ❞
❝ The maester says I’ll have scars, but otherwise the hand should be as good as it was before. ❞
❝ It was my father’s sword, and his father’s before him. ❞
❝ I would not be sitting here if not for your. ❞
❝ Honor the steel with deeds, not words. ❞
❝ You’re the one who deserves the honor. ❞
❝ You told him, didn’t you? ❞
❝ Love is the bane of honor, the death of duty. ❞
❝ What is honor compared to a woman’s love? What is duty against the feel of a newborn son in your arms? ❞
❝ We are only human, and the gods have fashioned us for love. That is our great glory, and our great tragedy. ❞
❝ We all do our duty when there is no cost to it. How easy it seems then, to walk the path of honor. ❞
❝ You must make that choice yourself, and live with it all the rest of your days. ❞
❝ Please, you must not do this. ❞
❝ Get out of my way. ❞
❝ You can’t. I won’t let you. ❞
❝ I would sooner not hurt you. ❞
❝ I am doing the right thing, so why do I feel so bad? ❞
❝ I belong with my brother. ❞
❝ You don’t have to tell me the words, I know them as well as you do. ❞
❝ So here are your choices. Kill me, or come back with me. ❞
❝ I won’t run, if that’s what you mean. ❞
❝ The hard truths are the ones to hold tight. ❞
❝ Was your moonlight ride so tiring? ❞
❝ You know? ❞
❝ They killed my father. Did you expect me to do nothing? ❞
❝ I ordered a watch kept over you. ❞
❝ My place is here. Where is yours? ❞
❝ I have no place. ❞
❝ When dead men come hunting in the night, do you think it matters who sits the Iron Throne? ❞

❝ The ancient crown of the Kings of Winter had been lost three centuries ago. ❞
❝ It is no easy thing to wear a crown. ❞
❝ Kneel before the king. ❞
❝ He is not a bold man, this one. ❞
❝ I brought you from our cell to carry my message to your cousin. ❞
❝ I should be most glad to bring your message to the queen. ❞
❝ Understand, I am not giving you your freedom. ❞
❝ You chose to fight beneath a foe’s banner. ❞
❝ I want your pledge, on your honor as a knight. ❞
❝ I do so vow. ❞
❝ Every man in this hall has heard you. ❞
❝ I will do as I pledged. ❞
❝ What is this message? ❞
❝ An offer of peace. Meet my terms, and I will sheath this sword, and make an end to the war between us. ❞
❝ Living men had gone south, and cold bones would return. ❞
❝ He had the truth of it. ❞
❝ He will remain my hostage for his father’s good behavior. ❞
❝ Henceforth, we are no part of their realm, but a free and independent kingdom, as of old. ❞
❝ These are the terms. If she meets them, I’ll give her peace. ❞
❝ Did you see the look on his face? ❞
❝ Take this back to my bedchamber. ❞
❝ I wager there were others who felt the same. ❞
❝ How can we talk of peace while they spread like pestilence over my father’s domains, stealing his crops and slaughtering his people? ❞
❝ We lack the strength. ❞
❝ Do we grow stronger sitting here? ❞
❝ You cannot ask them to remain idle while their fields are being pillaged and their people put to the sword. ❞
❝ It would be an ill thing if he were to leave us. ❞
❝ He lost sons. Who can blame him if he does not want to make peace with their killers? ❞
❝ More bloodshed will not bring your father back to us. ❞
❝ An offer had to be made. ❞
❝ I can’t release him, not even if I wanted to. My lords would never abide it. ❞
❝ Your lords made your their king. ❞
❝ If your crown is the price we must pay to have them returned safe, we should pay it willingly. ❞
❝ Was it war that made you grow so fast, or the crown they put on your head? ❞
❝ The boy has the right of this. ❞
❝ Don’t call me β€˜the boy’. I am a man grown, and your king. ❞
❝ That was unworthy of me. ❞
❝ Gods be good, what has become of me? ❞
❝ He is doing his best, trying so hard, I know it, I see it, and yet . . . ❞
❝ I have lost him, the rock my life was built on. ❞
❝ I could not bear to lose them as well. ❞
❝ I’ll do all that I can for them. ❞
❝ If she has any sense, she’ll accept my terms. ❞
❝ I’ll make her rue the day she refused me. ❞
❝ Kings are not supposed to have mothers, it would seem. ❞
❝ I could command you to go. As king. I could. ❞
❝ He’s been a hostage half his life. ❞
❝ He is not a man to be trusted. ❞
❝ Does he know you have returned? ❞
❝ You will want to hear my tidings in private first. ❞
❝ You have her face. I can see it in your cheekbones, and your jaw. ❞
❝ You remember more of her than I do. ❞
❝ I wish I had their faith. ❞
❝ That’s blood up there, smeared across the sky. ❞
❝ Was there ever a war where only one side bled? ❞
❝ When he hears this, he will rage. ❞
❝ Even terror has its purpose. ❞
❝ He would like to fight on a field of his own choosing. ❞
❝ He’ll want something. ❞
❝ I want to weep. I want to be comforted. I am so tired of being strong. ❞
❝ I want to be foolish and frightened for once. Just for a small while. ❞
❝ No one has ever died of restlessness, but rashness is another matter. ❞
❝ You are all your lord father claimed you were. ❞
❝ As champion, you may ask of me any boon that you desire. ❞
❝ If it lies in my power, it is yours. ❞
❝ My life for yours, Your Grace. From this day on, I am your shield, I swear it by the old gods and the new. ❞
❝ If you wish, we may stand here in the mud and debate what honors and titles are rightly due to each, but it strikes me that we have more pressing matters to consider. ❞
❝ My lady, when you are rested, I would be honored if you would share our meat and mead at the feast tonight. ❞
❝ What is mine is yours. ❞
❝ My sweet queen is all the woman I desire. ❞
❝ Can you drown in grief? ❞
❝ They are boys drunk on song and story, and like all boys, they think themselves immortal. ❞
❝ They’re young and strong, full of life and laughter. ❞
❝ And lust, aye, more lust than they know what to do with. There will be many a bastard bred this night, I promise you. ❞
❝ They are the knights of summer, and winter is coming. ❞
❝ In the songs all knights are gallant, all maids are beautiful, and the sun is always shining. ❞
❝ I feel the need of some air. Will you walk with me? ❞
❝ He would make an appalling king. Nor is he like to become one. ❞
❝ Men respect him, even fear him, but precious few have ever loved him. ❞
❝ I mean to be king, my lady, and not of a broken kingdom. ❞
❝ We are the first. ❞
❝ Gods grant that I shall do the same. ❞
❝ This is no fight of ours. ❞
❝ I know the king would not wish his mother to put herself at risk. ❞
❝ We are all at risk. ❞
❝ Do you think I wish to be here? ❞
❝ He sent me to speak for him, and speak for him I shall. ❞
❝ It is a sort of game kings play. ❞
❝ I had not thought to find you here. ❞
❝ I am sorry for your lord’s death, though he was no friend to me. ❞
❝ He was never your enemy. ❞
❝ He did his duty, I will not deny it. Did I ever do less? ❞
❝ Yet he took it. That which should have been mine. ❞
❝ How they love to promise heads, these men who would be king. ❞
❝ Men give their allegiance where they will. ❞
❝ I only want what is mine by rights. ❞
❝ We share a common foe who would destroy us all. ❞
❝ The whole of the realm denies it. Old men deny it with their death rattle, and unborn children deny it in their mothers’ wombs. They deny it in Dorne and they deny it on the Wall. No one wants you for their king. ❞
❝ I swore I would never treat with you while you wore your traitor’s crown. ❞
❝ Younger, bolder, and far more comely. ❞
❝ We are all traitors, however good our reasons. ❞
❝ I fear she never saw your little letter. ❞
❝ They are bastards. ❞
❝ Isn’t that a sweet story, my lady? ❞
❝ I must say, it took my breath away. ❞
❝ Do you name me a liar? ❞
❝ If you step in a nest of snakes, does it matter which one bites you first? ❞
❝ You’ve never tasted anything so sweet, I promise you. ❞
❝ I did not come here to eat fruit. ❞
❝ A man should never refuse to taste a peach. ❞
❝ I did not come here to be threatened, either. ❞
❝ When I make threats, you’ll know it. ❞
❝ You’ll be pleased to know she came to me a maid. ❞
❝ Oh, I expect I’ll get a son on her within the year. ❞
❝ How many sons do you have? Oh, yes – none. ❞
❝ If my wife looked like yours, I’d send my fool to service her as well. ❞
❝ Enough! I will not be mocked to my face, do you hear me? I will not! ❞
❝ I hope your new god’s a merciful one. ❞
❝ It grieves me that it must come to this. ❞
❝ You have a cheerful way of grieving. ❞
❝ You must allow a king some flaws, my lady. ❞
❝ I had hoped to help you make peace. I will not help you make war. ❞
❝ She loves him, poor thing. ❞
❝ She’d play his squire just to touch him, and never care how great a fool they think her. ❞
❝ Stay and help me pray. It’s been so long I’ve quite forgotten how. ❞
❝ Did your old gods ever answer you? When you knelt before your heart tree, did you hear them? ❞
❝ When they took his head off, they killed me too. ❞
❝ Death came in that door and blew the life out of him as swift as the wind snuffed out his candles. ❞
❝ Are you blind? The girl loved him. ❞
❝ Some say that after the battle, the king cut out Stafford Lannister’s heart and fed it to the wolf. ❞
❝ I would not believe such tales. He is no savage. ❞
❝ That is no common wolf, that one. ❞
❝ The gods don’t care about men, no more than kings care about peasants. ❞
❝ A good king does care. ❞
❝ Only a mother would keep her children safe, however she could. ❞
❝ I am not made to be a mother. I need to fight. ❞
❝ I could serve you. If you would have me. ❞
❝ You could have let them kill me. I was nothing to you. ❞
❝ When the time comes, I will not hold you back. ❞
❝ I am yours, my lady. Your liege man, or … whatever you would have me be. I will shield your back and keep your counsel and give my life for yours, if need be. I swear it by the old gods and the new. ❞
❝ I vow that you shall always have a place by my hearth and meat and mead at my table, and pledge to ask no service of you that might bring you into dishonor. I swear it by the old gods and the new. ❞
❝ He asked for you. I did not know what to tell him. ❞
❝ He risks all for a baseborn boy whose blood is not even his own. ❞
❝ He has made common cause with a power greater and darker. ❞
❝ Have you forgiven me? ❞
❝ You’ve done nothing that needs forgiveness. ❞
❝ He loves you fiercely. Believe that. ❞
❝ I gave him my favor to wear. ❞
❝ I gave my maidenhood to this solemn stranger and sent him off to his war and his king and the woman who bore him his bastard, because I always did my duty. ❞
❝ Why do boys so love to play at war? ❞
❝ Knights die in battle, as ladies die in childbed. No one sings songs about them. ❞
❝ Children are a battle of a different sort. A battle without banners or warhorns, but no less fierce. ❞
❝ At times I feel as though I am being torn apart. ❞
❝ And who will keep you safe, my lady? ❞
❝ Someday you must sing for me. ❞
❝ If we are winning, why am I so afraid? ❞
❝ I am a creature of grief and dust and bitter longings. There is an empty place within me where my heart was once. ❞
❝ I only thought you might enjoy happier company than mine. ❞
❝ Will holding it secret in your heart make it any less true? ❞
❝ What god would let this happen? He was only a baby! How could he deserve such a death? ❞
❝ Ice can kill as dead as fire. ❞
❝ The Starks do not use headsmen. They always said that the man who passes the sentence should swing the blade. ❞
❝ I will not sleep away my grief. ❞
❝ I fear I am in no condition to receive you. ❞
❝ Look at me, ser. ❞
❝ I see you had no taste for the wine I sent you. ❞
❝ I can have your head off anytime I want. Why would I need to poison you? ❞
❝ We granted you the comfort of a tower cell befitting your birth and station. You repaid us by trying to escape. ❞
❝ A cell is a cell. ❞
❝ No? Then surely it was to have your pleasure of me. It’s said that widows grow weary of their empty beds. ❞
❝ I suppose I could still service you if that’s what you need. Pour us some of that wine and slip out of that gown and we’ll see if I’m up to it. ❞
❝ Was there ever a man as beautiful or as vile as this one? ❞
❝ If you said that in my son’s hearing, he would kill you for it. ❞
❝ Why should I tell you anything. ❞
❝ You think I fear death? ❞
❝ Your crimes will have earned you a place of torment in the deepest of the seven hells, if the gods are just. ❞
❝ If there are gods, why is the world so full of pain and injustice? ❞
❝ There are no men like me. There’s only me. ❞
❝ There is nothing here but arrogance and pride, and the empty courage of a madman. ❞
❝ If there was ever a spark of honor in him, it is long dead. ❞
❝ Stay, and you shall have your answers . . . for a price. ❞
❝ Answer my questions and I’ll answer yours. ❞
❝ People often claim to hunger for truth, but seldom like the taste when it’s served up. ❞
❝ I am strong enough to hear anything you care to say. ❞
❝ You would never ask that unless you knew the answer. ❞
❝ I want it from your own lips. ❞
❝ He is mine. ❞
❝ You admit to being her lover? ❞
❝ Do all my kin still live? ❞
❝ You were a knight, sworn to defend the weak and innocent. ❞
❝ He was spying on us. ❞
❝ You meant for him to die. ❞
❝ I seldom fling children from towers to improve their health. Yes, I meant for him to die. ❞
❝ You swear you had no part in sending him? ❞
❝ I may indeed have shit for honor, I won’t deny it, but I have never yet hired anyone to do my killing. ❞
❝ Are you trying to deceive me? ❞
❝ Believe what you will, I’m past caring what people say of me. ❞
❝ Your boy must be feeling lonely. ❞
❝ How can you still count yourself a knight, when you have forsaken every vow you ever swore? ❞
❝ So many vows … they make you swear and swear. It’s too much. No matter what you do, you’re forsaking one vow or the other. ❞
❝ Only a man like you would be proud of such an act. ❞
❝ We made a bargain, I can deny you nothing. ❞
❝ I do not want to know this. ❞
❝ I think it passing odd that I am loved by one for a kindness I never did, and reviled by so many for my finest act. ❞
❝ Come, don’t you find this all terribly amusing? ❞
❝ That name again. I don’t think I’ll fuck you after all, he had you first, didn’t he? I never eat off another man’s trencher. ❞
❝ Give me your sword. ❞

❝ There are darker things beyond the Wall. ❞

❝ Is this news certain? ❞
❝ It was the king’s seal, and the letter is in his own hand. ❞

❝ The letter had other tidings. ❞

❝ When the time comes, I will tell him myself. ❞
❝ I can’t leave him, even for a moment. ❞
❝ I have to be with him. ❞
❝ He’s not going to die. ❞
❝ What if he needs me and I’m not here? ❞
❝ I need you too. I’m trying, but I can’t . . . I can’t do it all by myself. ❞
❝ He needs to hear them sing. ❞
❝ Don’t be afraid. ❞
❝ Swear to me you’ll sleep. ❞
❝ It’s good to know my son’s life was not sold cheaply. ❞
❝ What I am about to tell you must not leave this room. ❞
❝ You have my oath. ❞
❝ If this is true, he will pay for it. I’ll kill him myself! ❞
❝ Never draw your sword unless you mean to use it. ❞
❝ I must go myself. ❞
❝ The honor of carrying a lady like yourself is all the reward I need. ❞
❝ The captain was just telling me that our voyage is almost at an end. ❞
❝ I have not been the most valiant of protectors. ❞
❝ The moment we go ashore we are at risk. ❞
❝ There are those at court who will know you on sight. ❞
❝ It’s one thing to be clever and another to be wise. ❞
❝ A man must make his own choices. ❞
❝ Even in a place like this, one never knows who may be watching. ❞
❝ Why have I been brought here in this fashion? ❞
❝ You were not mistreated, I trust? ❞
❝ I am not accustomed to being summoned like a serving wench. ❞
❝ I’ve angered you, My Lady. That was never my intent. ❞
❝ A wife is allowed to yearn for her husband. ❞
❝ Please don’t expect me to believe that. ❞
❝ This sudden trip of yours bespeaks a certain urgency. ❞
❝ I beg of you, let me help. ❞
❝ I know things. That is the nature of my service. ❞
❝ I am soaked through. Even my bones are wet. ❞
❝ There is an inn at the crossroads up ahead. ❞
❝ I hope I have not spoken out of turn. I meant no offense. ❞
❝ Frank talk does not offend me. ❞
❝ You are far from home. ❞
❝ Your home is in my heart. ❞
❝ Take off your helm. I would look on your face again. ❞
❝ I have not been a child in many years. ❞
❝ Suspicion casts a long shadow. ❞
❝ It seems to me she is only playing at courtship. She enjoys the sport. ❞
❝ A woman can rule as wisely as a man. ❞
❝ Pride? Arrogance, some might call it. Arrogance and avarice and lust for power. ❞
❝ I, however, am innocent as a little lamb. Shall I bleat for you? ❞
❝ I promise you, my lady, no harm will come to you. ❞
❝ I do not frighten easily. ❞
❝ I am going to die here. ❞
❝ I . . . I cannot do this. ❞
❝ I’ll come back for you. ❞
❝ I don’t want to look. ❞
❝ Keep your eyes closed if you like. ❞
❝ Have you taken leave of your senses!? ❞
❝ Isn’t he beautiful? ❞
❝ The seed is strong. ❞
❝ Not in front of the baby. ❞
❝ These are not times for delicacy. ❞
❝ You’re scaring the boy. ❞
❝ We’re safe here. ❞
❝ Don’t be a fool. No one is safe. If you think hiding here will make them forget you, you are sadly mistaken. ❞
❝ No castle is impregnable. ❞
❝ Tell me the rest of it. ❞
❝ I should have been woken. ❞
❝ Isn’t it a lovely morning? The gods are smiling on us. ❞
❝ Alive, he has value. Dead, he is only food for crows. ❞
❝ It’s said that poison is a woman’s weapon. ❞
❝ He’s too fond of the sight of blood on that sword of his. ❞
❝ Stand and fight, coward! ❞
❝ My son is leading a host to war. ❞
❝ When night falls, there are said to be ghosts, cold vengeful spirits of the North. ❞
❝ Remind me not to linger here. ❞
❝ You’ve grown a beard. ❞
❝ You are as fair as ever, a welcome sight in troubled times. ❞
❝ Can you understand why I might fear? ❞
❝ The real message is in what she does not say. ❞
❝ I know the sound of a threat, even whispered. ❞
❝ They have her hostage, and they mean to keep her. ❞
❝ Our best hope, our only true hope, is that you can defeat the foe in the field. ❞
❝ You cannot afford to seem indecisive in front of men like these. ❞
❝ It is not my intent to linger here long. ❞
❝ I’ll speak any way I like, damn you. ❞
❝ I have agreed to take them as wards. ❞
❝ Let him grow as tall as his father, and hold his own son in his arms. ❞
❝ You should let the men see you before battle. I will give them courage. ❞
❝ And who will give me courage? ❞
❝ So this is what death sounds like. ❞
❝ I would offer you my sword, but I seem to have mislaid it. ❞
❝ It is not your sword I want, ser. ❞
❝ He . . . he killed them . . . ❞
❝ If they hadn’t tried to stop him β€” ❞
❝ Your men did what they were sworn to do. ❞
❝ Grieve for them. Honor them for their valor. But not now. You have no time for grief. ❞
❝ Your grief is mine. ❞
❝ I swear it, you will have your vengeance. ❞
❝ Will that bring him back to me? ❞
❝ I prayed to know what to do, but the gods did not answer. ❞
❝ I shared his bed and bore his children. Do you think I love him any less than you? ❞
❝ I will mourn for him until the end of my days, but I must think of the living. ❞
❝ I want you to live your life, to kiss a girl and wed a woman and father a son. ❞
❝ I want to write an end to this. I want to go home. ❞
❝ Why shouldn’t we rule ourselves again? ❞
❝ It was the dragons we married, and the dragons are all dead! ❞
❝ There sits the only king I mean to bow my knee to. ❞

❝ There is no need for you to see this. ❞
❝ He died for me. ❞
❝ It is bad luck to touch the dead. ❞
❝ They are only girls. ❞
❝ The blood of the dragon does not weep. ❞
❝ I am still at war, only now I am fighting shadows. ❞
❝ They are soldiers, not warriors. ❞
❝ Their training teaches them to obey, fearlessly, perfectly, without thought or hesitation … not to unravel secrets or ask questions. ❞
❝ I’ll see them when I’m dressed. ❞
❝ A crown should not sit easy on the head. ❞
❝ You are so radiant today I fear to look on you. ❞
❝ Women do not forget. Women do not forgive. ❞
❝ Does he believe a pair of pretty slippers will win my hand? ❞
❝ If he proposes that I wed this man again, I’ll throw a slipper at his head. ❞
❝ I am only a young girl and know little of the ways of war. ❞
❝ Why, it must be because you have no other purpose but to plague me. How many times have I refused you? ❞
❝ I see that you are eloquent as well as beautiful. I am quite persuaded. ❞
❝ You take too much on yourself. ❞
❝ Help me dress. I’ll have a cup of wine as well, to clear my head. ❞
❝ Come sleep with me. Dawn will not come for hours yet. ❞
❝ He was a good brother. ❞
❝ Say the word, my sweet, and I will send you from this awful place. ❞
❝ I would sooner stay with you. I feel safe when I’m with you. ❞
❝ I want to keep you safe. ❞
❝ No one ever kept me safe when I was little. ❞
❝ I want to protect you, but . . . it is so hard, to be strong. ❞
❝ I don’t always know what I should do. I must know, though, I am all they have. ❞
❝ We’ll both sleep, and dream of sweeter days. ❞
❝ Who would ever dare to love a dragon? ❞
❝ There is no woman more lovely than you. Only a blind man could believe otherwise. ❞
❝ A bath will help soothe me. ❞
❝ How did you get past my guards? ❞
❝ Your guards never saw me. ❞
❝ Why should I fear him? ❞
❝ If you have some warning for me, speak plainly. ❞
❝ Remember who you are. ❞
❝ I was praying. ❞
❝ Prophecies are treacherous. ❞
❝ If this is truly what my people wish, do I have the right to deny it to them? ❞
❝ Truth was never welcome at that court. ❞
❝ He was a traitor who met a traitor’s end. ❞
❝ He played a part in your father’s fall, but he bore you no ill will. ❞
❝ The king wanted you killed, but he spoke against it. ❞
❝ You think they would harm me? ❞
❝ I should have seen it coming. Was I so blind, or did I close my eyes willfully, so I would not have to see the price of power? ❞
❝ I would give them back to you if I could, but some things are beyond the power of even a queen. ❞
❝ What have I unleashed upon the world? ❞
❝ If they are monsters, so am I. ❞
❝ Are they meant to inflame me? ❞
❝ Would my lord prefer something sweeter? ❞
❝ I will not trust you, but I need you. ❞
❝ A craven’s knife can slay a queen as easily as a hero’s. ❞
❝ He is playing games with me. But I can play as well. ❞
❝ I do not wish to speak of him. ❞
❝ Let us speak instead of love, of dreams and desire. ❞
❝ I am drunk with the sight of you. ❞
❝ Why did you abandon me? ❞
❝ I am almost certain that I asked you for your hand. Begged you, even. ❞
❝ You gave up too easily. ❞
❝ I must marry, all agree. ❞
❝ I am not so foolish as to wed a man who finds a fruit platter more enticing than my breast. ❞
❝ If you will not take me for your husband, I am content to be your slave. ❞
❝ I have been rained on and I have been sold. It is not the same. No one wants to be owned. ❞
❝ Is that meant to frighten me? I lived in fear for years. I woke afraid each morning and went to sleep afraid each night. ❞
❝ Let me stay and help persuade you. ❞
❝ You look . . . weary. Are you sleeping? ❞
❝ You know how much I value your wisdom. ❞
❝ You need a king beside you to help you bear these burdens. ❞
❝ Have you no smile for me? Am I as fearful as all that? ❞
❝ I always grow solemn in the presence of such beauty. ❞
❝ I have never wanted war. ❞
❝ You have not said you love me. ❞
❝ That is not the answer of a man in love. ❞
❝ What is love? Desire? No man could ever look on you and not desire you. ❞
❝ A new time has come, and new things are possible. Marry me. ❞
❝ Kiss me as if I were your wife. ❞
❝ No. I do not love you. ❞
❝ It’s him I want, not you. ❞
❝ One day all men must die, but it serves no good to dwell on death. I prefer to take each day as it comes. ❞
❝ Words are wind, even words like love and peace. I put more trust in deeds. ❞
❝ So it seems that I may wed again. Are you happy for me? ❞
❝ A queen belongs not to herself, but to the realm. ❞
❝ Marriage or carnage, those are my choices. ❞
❝ Did he wed for love or duty? ❞
❝ I know he was very fond of her. ❞
❝ I could become fond of him, in time. ❞
❝ I need to change, to make myself beautiful. ❞
❝ You have grown more beautiful in my absence. How is that possible? ❞
❝ I have missed you so much. ❞
❝ They never told me you were here, or I might have played the fool and sent for you at once. ❞
❝ I have only one urgent need. You. ❞
❝ A man surrounded by foes cannot defend himself. No, when faced with many enemies, choose the weakest, kill him, ride over him and escape. ❞
❝ He is as bold as he is bloody. ❞
❝ He is a monster. A gallant monster, but a monster still. ❞
❝ Do you take me for the Butcher King? ❞
❝ Better the butcher than the meat. ❞
❝ All kings are butchers. Are queens so different? ❞
❝ Most queens have no purpose but to warm some king’s bed and pop out sons for him. ❞
❝ Have you forgotten who I am? ❞
❝ He would make a monster of me. A butcher queen. ❞
❝ There is blood on my hands, too, and on my heart. ❞
❝ I am tired of hearing what you will not do. ❞
❝ Will they joust for me? I should like that. ❞
❝ He plays you for a fool. Do you want a serpent in your bed? ❞
❝ You could not have saved them. ❞
❝ Oh, gods, what have I done? Have I sent him to his death? ❞
❝ I have no more help to give. ❞
❝ I will not turn away from them. A queen must know the sufferings of her people. ❞
❝ I cannot heal them, but I can show them that I care. ❞
❝ Shall I wash your hair? ❞
❝ All those pearls will make me rattle when I walk. ❞
❝ The pearls symbolize fertility. The more a woman wears, the more healthy children she will bear. ❞
❝ Your clothes are stained with blood. Take them off. ❞
❝ Only if you do the same. ❞
❝ I thought you would be the one to betray me. I thought . . . ❞
❝ Promise me that you will never turn against me. I could not bear that. Promise me. ❞
❝ I wanted you from the first time I saw you. ❞
❝ You boasted that you’d had a hundred women. ❞
❝ He has a sellsword’s conscience. That is to say, none at all. ❞
❝ I would give up my crown if he asked it of me. ❞
❝ If I gave up my crown, he would not want me. ❞
❝ I do not want this night to end. ❞
❝ Marry me instead. ❞
❝ You know I cannot do that. ❞
❝ You are a queen. You can do what you like. ❞
❝ Marry me, and we can have all the nights forever. ❞
❝ We cannot wed, my love. You know why. ❞
❝ Once I am wed it will be high treason to desire me. ❞
❝ It has been too long since I’ve killed a man. Might be I should seek out your betrothed. ❞
❝ Are you unwell? In the black of night I heard you scream. ❞
❝ It was the wind that you heard screaming. ❞
❝ It was just a dream. Go back to sleep. ❞
❝ She dares say that in open court? ❞
❝ That smile has won many a maiden’s heart, I’ll wager. ❞
❝ Please, you must not tease me. ❞
❝ Come back to bed and kiss me. ❞
❝ The queen your mother was always mindful of her duty. ❞
❝ A knight is no fit consort for a princess of royal blood. ❞
❝ I never knew my father. I want to know everything about him. The good and . . . the rest. ❞
❝ If he loved you, he would come and carry you off. ❞
❝ How did this happen, that I am drinking and smiling with men I’d sooner flay? ❞
❝ This is peace, so why does it taste so much like defeat? ❞
❝ I want no gifts from you. ❞
❝ There is no honor in him, only hunger . . . for gold, for glory, for blood. ❞
❝ Every child knows its mother. ❞
❝ They are dragons, and so am I. ❞
❝ You have more enemies than you know. ❞
❝ Gods grant that we have made a son tonight. ❞
❝ I heard you crying. ❞
❝ Crying? I was not crying. Why would I cry? ❞
❝ Stay. I do not wish to be alone. ❞
❝ Remind me that there is still good in the world. ❞
❝ I will have you beside me, what other protection do I need? ❞
❝ How much of this do you believe? ❞
❝ I am looking into hell, but I dare not look away. ❞
❝ He takes great pride in his . . . his swordsmanship. ❞
❝ He boasts of bedding me, you mean. ❞
❝ Once I dreamed of flying. ❞
❝ Men are mad and gods are madder. ❞
❝ You are dead. ❞
❝ You never mourned me. It is hard to die unmourned. ❞
❝ I loved you once. ❞
❝ I waited long enough. I waited my whole life. ❞
❝ You lingered in a place that you were never meant to be. ❞
❝ Home was all I ever wanted. ❞
❝ You wanted me. ❞
❝ I was tired. I was weary of war. I wanted to rest, to laugh, to plant trees and see them grow. ❞
❝ Remember who you are, what you were made to be. ❞

✧ Emergency Commissions ✧
Hi, I'm reopening my commissions because long story short, I have a cat in desperate need of veterinary care but I do not have the money to pay for it. I'm not sure how much this will cost in the long run in all honesty because we're potentially looking at some long term treatments, so I'll keep these commissions open for as long as needed. Full commission info and examples can be found here on this carrd. Primarily I make custom carrds, but I can make graphics as well. Prices can be negotiable if needed. If you don't want any commissions but would like to chip in a little anyway, here is my p.aypal.
Something that I don't normally do for commissions, but I am offering now just for this, is portrait sketches. These are not on my carrd since again, I don't normally do commissions for these, but I'll put some examples below the cut. These will be ~ $25-$30 because I am just a beginner and these take a lot more time and effort.
Some examples of graphics are below the cut as well, but you can see more on my commission carrd. Examples of carrd commissions can be found there as well.
Any help at all is greatly appreciated 🩷

❝ He was a fool about that, and so much else. ❞
❝ Another year, or perhaps two, and he may be large enough to ride. ❞
❝ Is he lost again? ❞
❝ We are the ones who are lost. ❞
❝ How big will he grow? Do you know? ❞
❝ There are tales of dragons who grew so huge that they could pluck giant krakens from the seas. ❞
❝ That would be a wondrous sight to see. ❞
❝ They were bred for war, and in war they died. ❞
❝ It is no easy thing to slay a dragon, but it can be done. ❞
❝ Men are men. Dragons are dragons. ❞
❝ Did you ever meet my father? ❞
❝ Did you find him good and gentle? ❞
❝ He could be very harsh to those he thought his enemies. ❞
❝ A wise man never makes an enemy of a king. ❞
❝ Did you know my brother as well? ❞
❝ It was said that no man ever knew him, truly. ❞
❝ Go on. You may speak freely to me. ❞
❝ A change in the wind may bring the gift of victory. Or a lady’s favor knotted round an arm. ❞
❝ Be gentle, my knight. ❞
❝ I will require sword and armor. It seems I must be a warrior. ❞
❝ You would be wise to take his words well salted. ❞
❝ A queen must listen to all. ❞
❝ One voice may speak you false, but in many there is always truth to be found. ❞
❝ I am still half a world away from home, but every hour brings me closer. ❞
❝ Even upon the sea queens take precedence over captains. ❞
❝ I am sorry to disturb your sleep. ❞
❝ I wonder if I might have a few private words? ❞
❝ A dutiful son pays his father’s debts. Even blood debts. ❞
❝ He might want me dead . . . if he recalls that I’m alive. ❞
❝ It might all have been a ploy to win your trust. ❞
❝ I need clever men about me if I am to win the throne. ❞
❝ Clever men hatch ambitious schemes. ❞
❝ He means well. He does all he does for love. ❞
❝ It seems to me that a queen who trusts no one is as foolish as a queen who trusts everyone. ❞
❝ Your path is dangerous, I will not deny that. ❞
❝ He is not what he pretends to be. ❞
❝ I am his queen, not his woman. ❞
❝ You . . . you should not have . . . ❞
❝ I should not have waited so long. ❞
❝ I should have kissed you every night and every day. You were made to be kissed, often and well. ❞
❝ That was not fitting. I am your queen. ❞
❝ My queen, and the bravest, sweetest, most beautiful woman I have ever seen. ❞
❝ There is no man in all the world who will ever be half so true to you as me. ❞
❝ They might be adequate to my needs. ❞
❝ He has larger breasts than I do. ❞
❝ I call that madness, not courage. ❞
❝ Even the bravest men fear death and maiming. ❞
❝ There are other ways to tempt men besides flesh. ❞
❝ What a soft mewling fool this one is. ❞
❝ Such wonders do not come cheaply. ❞
❝ Even those who bent their knees may yearn in their hearts for the return of the dragons. ❞
❝ I will gladly serve her . . . and service her as well, if she is more woman than she looks. ❞
❝ Leave this place before your heart turns to brick as well. ❞
❝ The magisters and archons fed him wine and promises, but his soul was starved to death. ❞
❝ Better to come a beggar than a slaver. ❞
❝ There speaks one who has been neither. ❞
❝ Do you know what it’s like to be sold? I do. ❞
❝ He made a queen of me, but if he had been a different man, it might have been much otherwise. ❞
❝ Do you think I have forgotten how it felt to be afraid? ❞
❝ Only lies offend me, never honest counsel. ❞
❝ I have a dragon’s temper, that’s all. You must not let it frighten you. ❞
❝ He has a good face, and great strength to him. ❞
❝ Could he be jealous that I have found another man to talk to? ❞
❝ No true knight would ever kiss a queen without her leave. ❞
❝ He wants to kiss me again, I see it in his eyes. ❞
❝ You’re no bedslave. ❞
❝ The blood of my enemies I will shed gladly. The blood of innocents is another matter. ❞
❝ There is a savage beast in every man, and when you hand that man a sword or spear and send him forth to war, the beast stirs. ❞
❝ I wanted an answer, not a compliment. ❞
❝ He fought valiantly, he fought nobly, he fought honorably. And he died. ❞
❝ I mean to prove a few things of my own. ❞
❝ I can give you freedom, but not safety. ❞
❝ All men must die, but not for a long while, we may pray. ❞
❝ He knows my moods too well. ❞
❝ You ought to be asleep. ❞
❝ You’ll need your strength. ❞
❝ I was alone for a long time. ❞
❝ I was such a small scared thing. ❞
❝ He should have protected me, but instead he hurt me and scared me worse. He shouldn’t have done that. ❞
❝ Why do the gods make kings and queens if not to protect the ones who can’t protect themselves? ❞
❝ Some kings make themselves. ❞
❝ He was no true king. He did no justice. Justice . . . that’s what kings are for. ❞
❝ I dreamed a dream, no more. Go back to sleep. ❞
❝ A dragon is no slave. ❞
❝ The clever ones will see it for a chance to gauge my strength. ❞
❝ I am only a young girl and do not understand the ways of war, yet these odds seem poor to me. ❞
❝ I have heard that sellswords are notoriously unfaithful. ❞
❝ You bray like an ass, and make no more sense. ❞
❝ Woman? Is that meant to insult me? I would return the slap, if I took you for a man. ❞
❝ I would remember a man of such magnificence, I have no doubt. ❞
❝ You are worth fighting for, it is true. ❞
❝ I would gladly let you kiss my sword, if I were free. ❞
❝ And perhaps a kiss besides, eh? Or more than a kiss? For a man as magnificent as me? ❞
❝ I will like the taste of your tongue, I think. ❞
❝ You have a big thirst. ❞
❝ If blood is what you wish, let it flow. ❞
❝ You shall rue this arrogance. ❞
❝ Why? Because you are so beautiful. ❞
❝ I count no day as lived unless I have loves a woman, slain a foeman, and eaten a fine meal. ❞
❝ My sword is yours. My life is yours. My love is yours. My blood, my body, my songs, you own them all. I live and die at your command. ❞
❝ Then live, and fight for me. ❞
❝ Is that what you’re telling me? You are the only man I should ever trust? ❞
❝ Do you think I’m still some virgin girl, that I cannot hear the words behind the words? ❞
❝ You have been a better friend to me than any I have known. ❞
❝ I honor and respect and cherish you. ❞
❝ I do not desire you, and I am weary of your trying to push every other man in the world away from me. ❞
❝ It will not make me love you any better. ❞
❝ I cannot sleep when men are dying for me. ❞
❝ Your place is here by me. ❞
❝ A man who fears battle wins no victories. ❞
❝ I will see them. I will see every one, and count them, and look upon their  faces. And I will remember. ❞
❝ It’s his city I want, not his meager manhood. ❞
❝ I will not march my people off to die. ❞
❝ Can I send men to die in the dark on such a slender hope? ❞
❝ Take me back to my tent. Please. ❞
❝ I have told you no lies. Yet there are truths I have withheld, and for that and all my other sins I can only beg your forgiveness. ❞
❝ What truths have you withheld? ❞
❝ The crow calls the raven black, and you speak of betrayal. ❞
❝ If he sent you to kill me, why did you save my life? ❞
❝ I am yours, if you will have me. ❞
❝ There has been an informer by your side selling your secrets. ❞
❝ Do all gods feel so lonely? ❞
❝ She is brave as well. She had to be, to survive the life she’s lived. ❞
❝ I am going to take you home one day. I swear it. ❞
❝ I am content to stay with you. ❞
❝ Is this the face of a conqueror? ❞
❝ Harsh justice is still justice. ❞
❝ The widows will curse me all the same. ❞
❝ To prove his faith, he offers to seal your alliance with a marriage. ❞
❝ He means to put them all aside if you consent to wed him. ❞
❝ Whatever I do, all I make is death and horror. ❞
❝ I must be strong. I must have fire in my eyes when I face them, not tears. ❞
❝ Some truths are hard to hear. ❞
❝ Why ask for truth if you close your ears to it? ❞
❝ He once told me that madness and greatness are two sides of the same coin. ❞
❝ So I am a coin in the hands of some god, is that what you are saying? ❞

✧ Emergency Commissions ✧
Hi, I'm reopening my commissions because long story short, I have a cat in desperate need of veterinary care but I do not have the money to pay for it. I'm not sure how much this will cost in the long run in all honesty because we're potentially looking at some long term treatments, so I'll keep these commissions open for as long as needed. Full commission info and examples can be found here on this carrd. Primarily I make custom carrds, but I can make graphics as well. Prices can be negotiable if needed. If you don't want any commissions but would like to chip in a little anyway, here is my p.aypal.
Something that I don't normally do for commissions, but I am offering now just for this, is portrait sketches. These are not on my carrd since again, I don't normally do commissions for these, but I'll put some examples below the cut. These will be ~ $25-$30 because I am just a beginner and these take a lot more time and effort.
Some examples of graphics are below the cut as well, but you can see more on my commission carrd. Examples of carrd commissions can be found there as well.
Any help at all is greatly appreciated 🩷

❝ Every man who sees them will want them. ❞
❝ No man may take them from me while I live. ❞
❝ They are not strong, so I must be their strength. ❞
❝ I must show no fear, no weakness, no doubt. ❞
❝ However frightened my heart, when they look upon my face, they must see only their queen. ❞
❝ I would name them for all the gods have taken. ❞
❝ Perhaps we are doomed if we press on, but I know for a certainty that we are doomed if we turn back. ❞
❝ I must be strong for him as well. ❞
❝ Do you know what this place might be? ❞
❝ When the gods are gone, the evil ghosts feast by night. Such places are best shunned. ❞
❝ Perhaps I should do the same to remind them that his strength lives within me now. ❞
❝ If I had wings, I would want to fly, too. ❞
❝ We should rest here until we are stronger. ❞
❝ There are ghosts everywhere. We carry them with us wherever we go. ❞
❝ It pains him to speak of her. ❞
❝ Was she beautiful? ❞
❝ I thought she was a goddess come to earth. ❞
❝ I did things it shames me to speak of. ❞
❝ He wants me. ❞
❝ He can never have me. ❞
❝ Seek no more. You have found them. ❞
❝ If you see anything here that you would desire, you have only to speak and it is yours. ❞
❝ Come with me and you shall drink of truth and wisdom. ❞
❝ The young queen is wise beyond her years. ❞
❝ The crow calls the raven black. ❞
❝ They shall come day and night to see the wonder that has been born again into the world. ❞
❝ When they see, they shall lust. ❞
❝ Dragons are fire made flesh, and fire is power. ❞
❝ She speaks truly, though I like her no more than the others. ❞
❝ My place is here at your side. ❞
❝ Only you can serve me in this. ❞
❝ I want to make my kingdom beautiful, to fill it with fat men and pretty maids and laughing children. I want my people to smile when they see me ride by. ❞
❝ He will kill you, sure as sunrise. ❞
❝ He was a traitor to his true king. ❞
❝ Let the whole world know my purpose. ❞
❝ I am not the frightened girl you met once. ❞
❝ Dragons die, but so do dragonslayers. ❞
❝ I see a deep sadness written upon your face. ❞
❝ They listened, but they did not hear or care. ❞
❝ Tell me what they said to sadden the queen of my heart. ❞
❝ They said it with great courtesy, to be sure, but under all the lovely words, it was still no. ❞
❝ He distrusts everyone, and perhaps for good reason. ❞
❝ Will nothing turn you from this madness? ❞
❝ I have given you my home and heart, do they mean nothing to you? ❞
❝ He asked me to marry him again. ❞
❝ I am afraid, but I must be brave. ❞
❝ Heed the wisdom of those who love you best. ❞
❝ Warlocks are bitter creatures who eat dust and drink of shadows. ❞
❝ Let me walk with you in this dark place, to keep you safe from harm. ❞
❝ Take my arm and let me lead you. ❞
❝ If you value your soul, take care and do just as I tell you. ❞
❝ Our little lives are no more than the flicker of a moth's wing to them. ❞
❝ Listen well, and write each word upon your heart. ❞
❝ I am in the presence of sorcery. ❞
❝ Little princess, there you are. ❞
❝ Come to me, my lady. ❞
❝ You're home now. You're safe now. ❞
❝ Let him be the king of ashes. ❞
❝ The dragon has three heads. ❞
❝ Long have we awaited you. ❞
❝ The docks are no place for lady's finery. ❞
❝ They know who I am, and they do not love me. ❞
❝ You need not go alone. ❞
❝ You have seen dark visions. ❞
❝ I have dreamed brighter dreams. I see you happily abed, with our child at your breast. ❞
❝ I will not wed you. ❞
❝ But where am I to go? ❞
❝ You need only say that one sweet word. ❞
❝ Men have looked at women since time began. ❞
❝ Worms have crawled up your nose and eaten your wits. ❞
❝ Only fools would stare so openly if they meant me harm. ❞
❝ Pay him before he kills himself. ❞
❝ Did I break your hand? ❞
❝ Put down your steel! ❞
❝ Who is it that I owe my life to? ❞
❝ You owe me nothing. ❞
❝ I let each man cut me once before I kill him. ❞
❝ You will accord all respect to my people, or you will leave my service sooner than you'd wish, and with more scars than when you came. ❞
❝ He would have you. ❞
❝ I want every man who sees them to know the dragons have returned. ❞

❝ Is it really mine? ❞
❝ Tonight you must look like a princess. ❞
❝ What does he want from us? ❞
❝ All they have taken from us, we will have it back. ❞
❝ He will be enraptured. ❞
❝ Do you take me for a fool? ❞
❝ My apologies if I have given offense. ❞
❝ Kings lack the caution of common men. ❞
❝ I shall kill him myself. ❞
❝ Many important men will be at the feast tonight. ❞
❝ No doubt he would pay well for your head. ❞
❝ He will not sleep easy while I live. ❞
❝ I don't want to be his queen. ❞
❝ Please, I don't want to, I want to go home! ❞
❝ How are we to go home? They took our home from us! ❞
❝ If you must wed him and bed him for that, you will. ❞
❝ In time you may even learn to like him. ❞
❝ All things of importance in a man's life must be done beneath the open sky. ❞
❝ He has promised you a crown, and you shall have it. ❞
❝ I council you to be patient. ❞
❝ Guard your tongue or I'll have it out. ❞
❝ There are no more dragons. ❞
❝ There is no privacy here. They do not understand sin or shame as we do. ❞
❝ It is a small thing, my princess, but all a poor exile could afford. ❞
❝ Silver for the silver of your hair. ❞
❝ Is that the only word you know? ❞
❝ It's so beautiful here, I don't want to think about everything dying. ❞
❝ You are learning to talk like a queen. ❞
❝ You dare give commands to me? ❞
❝ Have you forgotten who you are? ❞
❝ Can you wake the dead? ❞
❝ He is still the true king. ❞
❝ It is no matter to them if the high lords play their game of thrones, so long as they are left in peace. They never are. ❞
❝ What do you pray for? ❞
❝ I pray for home, too. ❞
❝ He ought to have come by now, for the feast. ❞
❝ You ought to have gone with him to keep him safe. ❞
❝ He is the only one left. The only one. ❞
❝ He is all I have. ❞
❝ You belong to them now. ❞
❝ Please, [name], it is forbidden! ❞
❝ I want what I came for. ❞
❝ Turn away, my princess, I beg you. ❞
❝ Fire cannot kill a dragon. ❞
❝ I have a chill. Light the brazier. ❞
❝ The poisoner was the first, but he will not be the last. ❞
❝ A few cuts. Nothing of consequence. ❞
❝ You have a gentle heart, but you do not understand. This is how it has always been. ❞
❝ It is not for you to tell me what I cannot do. ❞
❝ This is the way of war. ❞
❝ If you must stay, then help. ❞
❝ I sing of my scars. ❞
❝ You must not say that. ❞
❝ We have ridden far enough today. We will camp here. ❞
❝ For the love you say you bear me, help me now. ❞
❝ I will not let him die! ❞
❝ Weep for him tomorrow, or a year from now. We do not have time for grief. ❞
❝ But why? Why should they kill a little baby? ❞
❝ Better to kill the child than to risk his fury when he grows to manhood. ❞
❝ They must not hurt my son! ❞
❝ Some would say that death is cleaner. ❞
❝ Is there no other way? ❞
❝ Only death may pay for life. ❞
❝ This is bloodmagic. It is forbidden. ❞
❝ The dead will dance here this night. ❞
❝ Bring him back to me. ❞
❝ They say she is accursed. ❞
❝ He did not live. ❞
❝ All the grief has been burned out of me. ❞
❝ Should you be up, weak as you are? ❞
❝ I saw you, alone, dancing with the shadows. ❞
❝ I swear to you, these men will die screaming. ❞
❝ If I look back, I am lost. ❞
❝ See what life is worth, when all the rest is gone. ❞
❝ Do you think bloodmagic is a game for children? ❞
❝ Loose me from these bonds and I will help you. ❞
❝ I am his heir. Whatever was his is mine now. ❞
❝ You shall not be alone. ❞
❝ Come with me. We will see all the wonders yet unseen. ❞
❝ I know what you intend. ❞
❝ I understand that you loved him. ❞
❝ I will not watch you burn. ❞
❝ I was a child yesterday. Today I am a woman. Tomorrow I will be old. ❞
❝ Give me your hand and your heart, and there will always be a place for you. ❞
❝ I vow to serve you, to obey you, to die for you if need be. ❞
❝ Forgive me for all I have done and all I must do. ❞
❝ Is it so far from madness to wisdom? ❞
❝ You swore to obey me, whatever might come. ❞
❝ Do not fear for me. ❞
❝ The fire is mine. Don't you see? ❞
