“Thank you. (Nykyrian)For what? (Kiara)For giving me a life worth living. I know I’m not worth it, and that I don’t deserve it, but I swear to the gods I finally believe in that I will spend every moment I have left making you happy and trying to be worthy of you. (Nykyrian)”

“I wish I could take away your pain. I wish I could go back to when you were born and take you somewhere safe. Far away from all the people who’ve hurt you. (Kiara)You’re doing that now. (Nykyrian)”

“I suggest you leave. Now. (Nykyrian)(The would-be attackers flee.)Had you said ‘boo,’ I think they would have wet themselves. (Kiara)”
