“If my hands fall off, so will my iron cuffs, and then I’ll call upon Clode to suffocate you in your sleep.” “Such pretty promises,”
blisters of emotion I pop faster than Kaan popped that tick.
And maybe I shouldn’t shed Kaan’s blood while staying here. That would feel wrong, I think.
Turns out, I’m a shit houseguest.
I’ve seen males look at me like that, right before I’ve pierced their hearts. The look of wounded pride.
Relief that he’s here. With me. That— It’s definitely not that.
She’s very lucky this didn’t kill her.” I would’ve split the world if it did. Then split my fucking self.
“Seen some crazy shit over the past eon. Not gonna lie.”
good sign that accepting Kaan’s málmr is not going to lead me to a life on my back, staring up at stitched-together hides while I grow some mystical offspring meant to save the world from impending moonfalls. This is good. I can work with this.
You don’t just accept one, then toss it in your jewelry box to wear with your favorite outfit.” Joke’s on her because I have no outfits.

I happen to like living in my blank oblivion. It’s lonely, but lonely folk have nothing to lose. That suits me perfectly.
“And if you die there, will you have any regrets?” “Perhaps.” He shrugs. “But I’d be dead.”
It was the kiss of someone who wanted to give me everything. Take nothing. Yet I gave him my whole heart anyway. Realized it was rightfully his.
“Maybe she’ll fillet my heart in a different direction? Undoubtedly. She’s quite fond of filleting. Quite good at it, too.”

then split you like an egg.”
Pah thought I was remarkable, and once, I believed it. Now, I can’t stand to look at my own filthy face.
A small mercy that was not bestowed upon herself many cycles ago.
