you can't change it. sofija's memories have been destroyed. you'll never beat the unseelie court at their own game. and i won't risk mika's life for you to have the chance to show off.
do you want me to miss you? do you ever have the desire for anyone to think of you that way?
what do you want me to do? try to get out of my contract? make my way back to faerie? renege on this deal? and when mika suffers for it, what then? you don't care about her. you don't even care about me. this is entirely about you.
will that make you feel fulfilled and important? you're so desperate to chase after approval and you don't even know it.
she'll grow up as i did. it will be hard. but it will make her strong. and when she comes of age she can choose to do as she wishes. i'm not here to coddle her. i'm here to make sure she stays alive. in faerie she has a chance to fight. here, she would already be dead.
the same people that drove you to my home in unbearable pain?
i did not drug you. you were in terrible pain and i gave you a very common fae remedy for it. apparently i should have left you to bleed out in the grass.
that is extremely fortunate, because you will never find anyone who would be willing to marry such a brute. i, on the other hand, have had many suitors.

I'm sure you know exactly what true kindness is, right?
no subject
and yes. i do know it. i had a wonderful example in my wife.
[ might as well tell him he's married. ]
no subject
[ he doesn't care about lynx or his wife or his daughter. frankly, he doesn't care about this conversation. ]
Why do you keep talking to me?
Because you want to insult me?
no subject
what happened to them was because i was selfish.
i wanted to do what i wanted to do.
i was talking to you because i missed you.
no subject
Crying about it all the time is just as selfish.
You don't miss me, Lynx.
You just don't have anyone else.
no subject
and i won't risk mika's life for you to have the chance to show off.
do you want me to miss you?
do you ever have the desire for anyone to think of you that way?
no subject
Can't is something a quitter says.
I guess I thought differently about you.
I don't want you to miss me.
I want you to need me.
no subject
try to get out of my contract? make my way back to faerie? renege on this deal?
and when mika suffers for it, what then?
you don't care about her.
you don't even care about me.
this is entirely about you.
will that make you feel fulfilled and important?
you're so desperate to chase after approval and you don't even know it.
no subject
It's never been about me.
You could do more with your life than waste it.
But clearly I know nothing about that.
You don't understand me at all.
I don't need your approval or anyone else's.
I'm going to prove them all wrong.
no subject
not if it means keeping my daughter safe.
prove to who?
no one's looking at you, witch.
no subject
How is that not a waste?
Wrong. I don't want them to see.
Otherwise, I'd be dead.
no subject
but it will make her strong. and when she comes of age she can choose to do as she wishes.
i'm not here to coddle her. i'm here to make sure she stays alive.
in faerie she has a chance to fight.
here, she would already be dead.
the same people that drove you to my home in unbearable pain?
no subject
Those still sound like excuses.
Something like that.
I'm sure I told you all about it while you had me drugged.
no subject
you wouldn't understand.
you're not fae.
i did not drug you.
you were in terrible pain and i gave you a very common fae remedy for it.
apparently i should have left you to bleed out in the grass.
no subject
I could say the same about you.
You're not a witch. You wouldn't understand.
Don't talk to me about remedies.
But I suppose I should thank you for helping me.
I wouldn't have made it too long without you.
no subject
well, since you now owe me your life, i demand my seafood platter the next time i have the distinct displeasure of seeing you.
no subject
And I don't owe you anything.
You forget you owed me and I collected.
We're even.
no subject
you are a terrible representation of your kind and you should feel ashamed.
that favor went above and beyond what we agreed upon.
life and death is outside the criteria.
i am owed.
i like the oysters best.
no subject
I've done things for you that no one else could.
Don't think you'll find someone who will either.
Yes, you've said.
I'm still not bringing you oysters.
I'm not bringing you anything.
no subject
you did one thing.
you would make a terrible mate.
please never marry.
no subject
What does marriage have to do with anything?
I'm not faithful to you.
I owe you nothing.
no subject
i don't want to marry you. i'm already married.
if you ever do want to get married, take my advice and don't.
they will end up leaving you.
no subject
I never said you did.
You're the one talking about it.
Marriage is different for a witch anyway.
I don't really care for it, so I won't.
no subject
i, on the other hand, have had many suitors.
no subject
Sometimes it's not about that.
But good. Go bother one of them for attention.
I don't have time for you or your boasting.
