Iโm not a child. (Zarek) No, youโre not a child. You never were. Children are supposed to be protected and cared for. You had no one to hold you when you cried. No one ever soothed you. They never told you stories or made you laugh when you were sad. (Astrid)
Sherrilyn KenyonI just know that Iโm not willing to let anything happen to you. When Nynia died, I was so lost and cold, and I havenโt been warm since. Not until I felt your hands on me. The only way Iโve been able to cope without you is to bury what I feel, but I canโt seem to do that anymore. When Iโm with you all I can do is feel and need. (Talon)
Sherrilyn KenyonNow youโre thinking like me. A little eye-gouging, some slit nostrilsโฆI could seriously get into that. (Acheron)
Sherrilyn KenyonI prefer sidekick. I tried once for the title of Padawan, but Bubba wigged out saying that mentors are always killed off in books and movies and heโd be damned if he was going to die once he taught me everything I needed to know about killing zombies. (Mark) Then why let you be his sidekick? Isnโt that the same thing? (Nick) Uh, no. In the movies, the sidekicks are the ones who die. (Mark)
Sherrilyn KenyonJudge no one until you know their circumstances. No matter how awful they seemed, sometimes there was a valid reason for their behaviour. Granted, some people were just mean and corrupt, but not always. Many people were just in pain, and by acting out, they were only trying to protect themselves from being hurt more.
