But as a black blade broke through the kingโ€™s throat, spraying blood, I realized someone else had. Elain stepped out of a shadow behind him, and rammed Truth-Teller to the hilt through the back of the kingโ€™s neck as she snarled in his ear, โ€œDonโ€™t you touch my sister.โ€

โย You are a shameless flatterer, young sir, โž Despite her chiding words, her tone is playful and affectionate. โย But I thank you for your kindness in any case. How have you been since we spoke last ? Is your family well ? โžย

PROMPTS FROM A COURT OF THORNS AND ROSES * ย assorted dialogue from the novel, adjust as necessary
don't feel bad for one moment about doing what brings you joy.
be glad of your human heart.
has anyone ever taken care of you?
i heard you scream.
i figured that would get you to stop crying.
stop? don't pretend you care, human.
what is that bruise?
before you start yelling...
do you lie awake at night to come up with all your witty replies for the following day?
i'm tired and lonely, and you're the only person i can talk to without putting myself at risk.
you can leave if you're just going to insult me.
i would have been gentle with you, though.
pity those who don't feel anything at all.
when i kill, i do it slow.
killing is easier in pants.
i didn't want to consider what the punishment might have been.
we're too powerful, too bored with immortality, to be checked by anything else.
i wanted you everywhere. i was drowning in that need.
i don't particularly enjoy losing, so i took it upon myself to become good at them.
what's it doing?
why are you telling me this?
i don't think it's absurd at all.
remember the last time you ignored my warning?
fear no evil.
would you like me to grovel with gratitude for bringing me here?
i might die of surprise. you made a joke, [name].
your hair is... clean.
when the legends get written, i don't want to be remembered for standing on the sidelines.
look how you're trying not to cry out in terror.
i didn't want you to fight alone. or die alone.
you don't hold on to power by being everyone's friend.
each of us has a beast roaming beneath our skin, roaring to get out.
against slavery, against tyranny, i would gladly go to my death, no matter whose freedom i was defending.
i love you. thorns and all.
for someone with a heart of stone, yours is certainly soft these days.
we need hope, or else we cannot endure.
i threw myself into that fire, threw myself into it, into him, and let myself burn.
you look... better than before.
it's a rare day indeed when someone thanks you for bringing them to their death.
if i offer you the moon on a string, will you give me a kiss too?
you humans are truly grateful creatures, aren't you.
well... goodbye for now.
you didn't ask.
the answer to the riddle is love.
you don't look half as bad now.
everything i love has always had a tendency to be taken from me.
i wouldn't want to die alone.
you didn't need to bargain with me.
how am i to blame?
the tunic isn't as pretty as a dress.
what have you done to me?
do you ever stop being so serious and dull?
make it go away.
i'd prefer not to wear that dress.
do you ever stop being such a prick?
i would have taken a very, very long time.
i'd want someone to hold my hand until the end, and awhile after that.
you didn't tell me this would happen.
your human joy fascinates me - the way you experience things in your life span, so wildly and deeply and all at once is... entrancing.
i'm drawn to it, even though i shouldn't be, even when i try not to be.
there was nothing that could slow me down.
i don't know why i feel so tremendously ashamed of myself for leaving them.
all those years... what i did for them... and they didn't try to stop you from taking me.
you might have gotten away with it.
i came to claim the one i love.
i hadn't thought of it as a weakness until now.
