betrothed. the monster is vicious. i won't put her in that kind of danger.
[ a lie; he would, and she'd been the one to refuse without explanation. ]
the way i remember him, he's dead. there's a movement to have him sainted. a movement i won't give credence to. imagine if he found out? saints, the ego on the man.
mal. you two have been terrorized by the darkness enough. i wouldn't want to ask that of you, either. you deserve an ending to that chapter.
she hasn't asked, no we aren't... on the best of terms righ tnow. you know that ( but he wants to make sure he doesn't have a second reason to punch you for, nikolai )
i can when they affect people i care about you're good at that don't let it get you killed
well. [ neither are he and alina, but he doesn't have to admit to it just yet. ] have you tried talking to her? she might be amenable to it. i'm not much of a distraction right now, since i'm preoccupied with other matters.
are you saying you care about me? i'm touched. come now, oretsev, you know how hard i am to kill. do you know how many people have tried? it's embarrassing at this point.

don't tell him that
we'd never survive that
isn't that what friends do though, lantsov?
help one another
the secrets are the things that tear us apart

why? has she asked?
[ long pause. ]
you can't begrudge a man his secrets.
a king doesn't really have friends. i find it's much easier and more entertaining to make enemies.
