“We do not eat our allies,” Tairn lectures. “Find another snack.”

We might not compliment each other, but we complement each other.” I smile despite the darkness we’re walking into. “Get it? With an E instead of the I.”

“We will settle matters of emotion after matters of life.”

You’re my gravity. Nothing in my world works without you.”

We do not eat our allies.

“I love you. The world does not exist for me beyond you.”
