"..." Laura had enough verbose talking, it tired her quickly, especially if it followed a burst of anger.
"Thank you for being considerate, Lamden." She spoke without indicating if it was in gratitude for the ride, for the talk, or both.




Well, that was interesting.

"It'll be good to get back into that mindset. That last tourney proved I am far from a master swordsman. Kenya why don't you come watch?"







"I know all that. You think who cleaned executioner's axe? Who helped toss the bodies over the cliff into the sea? Just because I leisurely cast my former life away on a chance, instead of gruesomely fighting my way to secure it, doesn't mean you have any reason to think of yourself better than me. And what I was supposed to do? I happen to like my life. If I fought against you, you would kill me like you did Warden, without batting an eye as long as it lets you escape. Stand aside and let you run away? Then for once, I wouldn't be tossing bodies into the sea - I would be thrown into it instead."
"And I'm sorry that you as well seem to follow the thinking of 'now or never', because I happen to not share such philosophy of life. So far we have survived. Who is to say we won't survive until our hundreth birthday. Plenty of time to pursue romance without sharing beds week after first date. Mayhaps I prefer to be courted? Given gifts, taken on long walks? Let the emotion bud, bloom and mature? If I'm to be honest, painfully honest - I wish you never had the chance to escape."
"Thinking that you have 'no time for anything because you will die tomorrow'. That's how I perceive your thinking - definitely not as pursuit of happiness."
"Hey Lamden. Were you attracted to me instantly back then, before offering me a ride?" She decided to speak quietly.
"Not that it wasn't appreciated, but I feel like everyone is performing a story from some fairy tales. As if everyone was destined to each other since the moment they met. It feels strange. All this... blatant flirting after barely few days together, not to mention their rudeness toward Kyle when he asked them to do it proper and private. I can't help but imagine pregnant bellies showing up three months from now..."
