GALE EDITION âś part one
âcharming. hell is truly where we make it.âÂ
âall right, let that anger out however you see fit.âÂ
âi think iâll need a drink with the rest of that story.â
âbetter safe than, well, dead.âÂ
âi see the art of eloquence is alive and well.â
âiâm awed, impressed, and a little bit scared of you right now.âÂ
âletâs try to be diplomatic, shall we?âÂ
âthe dignified thing for me to say is âno, of course not. forthrightness before allâ, but honestly? yes⌠i would have rather you lied.â
âyou and i have very different definitions of right and wrong.â
âgiven my propensity towards verbosity, it surely canât be a surprise that i have a practised tongue.âÂ
âif you think you know best, go right ahead.âÂ
âallow me to live dangerously while i still can.âÂ
âif you use that knife, i will incinerate you.âÂ
âsweet that you care enough to murder me⌠mind me if you donât?â
âiâm an open book, requiring only your gentle hands to turn my pages.â
âoh, now that canât be comfortable. especially for the corpses.â
âdonât take this the wrong way, but i think iâve just lost all respect for you.â
âhmm⌠good back support, but a little too tyrannical for my taste.âÂ
âwe all have our quirks when it comes to using magic. some more than others.â
âha, you truly are testing the patience of a man who could level a city if he wished, you know.â
âi find you quite irresistible. even illuminated by such rotten light as this place produces.â
âi hope i didnât make too much of an ass of myself just now.â
âthatâs⌠it? she âannoyed youâ? if that was just cause for killing someone iâd be dead a thousand times over!â
âmight i suggest that was a little too easy?â
âwell, this seems as good a time as any for me to stop babbling on.â
âthe hand that feeds is the hand thatâs loved. itâll never leave your side now.âÂ
âstop licking the damn thing!âÂ
âi hope it has been made abundantly clear that to kill me is⌠counterproductive.â
âa little premature for us to start celebrating, i suppose.âÂ
âthere is poetry to be found in even the dingiest of holes.âÂ
âdestroying magic like this was my bread and butter.â
âgenerosity is always a noble virtue - whether it be in the streets, at the charity box, or betwixt the sheets.â
 ânot how i wouldâve done it.â
âi suppose such wicked killers deserve wicked ends.âÂ
âoh, i do apologize. i meant: are you studied in magic? namely: are you a wizard? which you are not.â
âyour hide, your choice. not quite my cup of tea, though.âÂ
âwonderful! the more, the merrier.âÂ
âas an expert on the subject - iâd like to point out that blowing oneself up is never the solution.â
âi have a cat, a library, and a weakness for a good glass of wine. and if the mood takes me, iâm known to try my hand at poetry.âÂ
âhow about now you make him kiss your feet next?â
âsheâs, erm, perhaps a little rough around the edges⌠but i suppose i can be smooth enough for two.âÂ
