Why do I do it, when it always hurts me? Why must we test the pain? Tongue the ulcer, rub the blister, pick the scab?
“Dagoska… fell?”
It's cool that I am remembering everything that has happened szo far through the lense of Jezal hearing it for the first time. Real clever, Joe. Real clever.
“You saved my life, so let me return the favour. Get away from here. Get away, and keep away.”
“It ain’t ever as simple, is it, as a man is just good or bad? Not even you. Not even Bethod. Not anybody.” “No.” Logen sat and watched the flames moving. “No, it ain’t ever that simple. We all got our reasons. Good men and bad men. It’s all a matter of where you stand.”
He was gradually starting to realise that the more powerful a man became, the fewer choices he really had.
The sight of Bayaz grinning in the corner was for once just what he needed to see, the old man’s cold smile cooling his ardour as surely as a bucket of iced water.
I just picture Bayaz awkwardly smiling and giving Jezal two thumbs up lol
“The only difference between war and murder is the number of the dead.”
“Trust us…” Trust? A word that only liars used.
LOVE THIS
“You made it seem that he was killed by an Eater.” “Oh, he was.” Bayaz watched smugly from the shadows. “Not all who break the Second Law serve Khalul. My apprentice, Yoru Sulfur, has long been partial to a bite or two.”
Called it! Not Sulfur being an eater but Bayaz being a baddie.
“He heard of my investigations from Severard, and I received a charming visit from your walking corpse, Mauthis, telling me to halt or die.” “Exactly so. On other occasions Yoru took another face, and called himself the Tanner, and incited a few peasants to some rather unbecoming behaviour.”
He's been behind LITERALLY EVERYTHING
“Of course, your Eminence. I always knew it would.”
Bayaz is one that I love and hate all at once.
Hmmm… Lesbians.
