"You really live like this? Every harboured hatred, every onze of malice, you see them all clearly as any weapon?"

"Yes. All the time."

"How do you do it? How do you choose kindness every time, anyway?"

. . .

"When a soldier is about to die, do you know what they think of? For most, they think of home. Of what they stood up to protect, and of how they will have let down those they left behind. They feel guilt."

"Yes... I can relate..."

"If they can still feel guilt, they can do better. Maybe, just maybe, if I give them the same chance I got, then they could choose mercy, too."

"The chance you..?"

. . .

. . . . .

. . .

"Oh. Oh, my fellow walking damned. You were given terrible purpose."

"I was. I can only make the best of it and hope it is worth its weight."

. . .

"So be it. Surely I can walk that path, too."

"That may be the most vulnerable thing I've ever hewrd you say."

#Fordola and Dusk have a Complicated relationship #its both 'inspires the other to do better' AND 'Is a source of unbearable guilt'#'if I had only been stronger I could have walked your path' and 'If only you were stronger you could have survived intact'#AND 'If I can be strong for you for just a moment you might make it one step further and that would be enough'#For the record its maybe YEARS before they finally kiss and its a hungry and weighty thing when they do #they just feel SO MANY emotions about each other #and from that point onward its a sword over their heads #'If I lose her there would only be cruelty and injustice left in this world and so I will bring it all down with me'#'Burn this world to the ground and build a kingdom from the ashes where I would live alone forever'#and the one thing Dusk has over Fordola is Raha
