R'jaal's Resonance Quotes

“Wait, what? Parasitic soulmates? I would never read a fanfic with that sort of storyline.”
― Ruby Dixon, R'jaal's Resonance

“Now you get the mom talk.” “The mom talk?” She nods. “The way I look at it, everything in space and time happens for a reason. There are billions of planets and billions of years of time. Millions of creatures have gone extinct before the first mammal ever existed. Out of all the creatures on Earth, out of all the people on Earth, your ancestors were born. I won’t even get started on the billions of sperm that had to lose in order for the one that fertilized the egg that Librarian Rosalind was created from, and then you were picked from billions of humans on Earth and cloned specifically from. You landed here, at this tiny spot in the vast universe at this specific time. You immediately resonated to R’jaal, who has been lonely and longing for a mate. That’s a lot of very, very specific things to happen all at once—a convergence of happenstance—to create you and him and bring you both together at the right time. You think that’s not by a greater design? Maybe this is exactly where you’re supposed to be.” Jesus. She’s making my head hurt with how big she’s thinking. “You think I’m special enough to warrant all that?” “You tell me. Do you think R’jaal is?” She gestures at her sleeping son. “Because I look at my mate, and I look at my son, and I think that they’re so incredible and unique and that I feel very blessed to end up where I am right now. Maybe this planet didn’t need a paleobiologist, but N’dek absolutely needed Devi in his life. So chew on that for a bit the next time you feel like you don’t belong.”

“You should know something about me, though. I’m a bit of an introvert.” He purses his lips, frowning, and then shakes his head. “I do not know that word. You make it sound bad, though.” “It’s not good or bad. It’s just that some people really love being with others all the time and some find it draining, no matter how much they like the people. People that find it tiring to be around others for a long time are called introverts. That’s me.”

“I really wanted to be strong and capable when we got here, just like Tia.” R’jaal is silent, washing my other arm. His shoulders shake, and I stare at him in surprise. Is he…laughing? “What’s so funny?” “T’ia was sent away a few years ago because she was causing problems amongst the hunters. She was free with her kisses and her teasing, and it made several males think she was interested in only them. She cried a lot. She had more tantrums than a kit. So when you say that you wish to be more like T’ia…I am glad you are not.” “Sounds kind of chauvinist,”
