independent too-much demonstrating
Here in the enclave, one didn't prosper by demonstrating too much independent thought.
fighting men who-i-am
He’s worth fighting for, but I won’t change who I am for any man. No more than he should alter himself to suit me.
effort dying
Dying isn’t like living; it requires no effort at all.
infinite solace single-word
His reply offers infinite solace in a single word. Always.
cutting fighting hands
I admired Stalkers style. He was incredibly fast using two small blades strapped to the backs of his hands. Slash slash slash. Fighting him you wouldn’t die of one great wound but instead bleed out slowly surprised to find yourself weak and dying after a thousand cuts.
had-enough enough
I'm Sirantha Jax, and I have had enough.
home animal hands
... Where did you go?” “Down below.” “Ugh,” she said. “I’ve heard they’re little better than animals.” Funny. I thought the same thing about most Topsiders I encountered.

There were different kinds of strength. I knew that now. It didn't always come from a knife or a willingness to fight. Sometimes it came from endurance, where the well ran deep and quiet. Sometimes it came from compassion and forgiveness.
baby stupid fall
Are you afraid of falling, baby? No, I’m afraid of landing. [He’s laughing, and I’m smiling.] Stupid idiot smile, don’t you know what comes next?
missing-someone determination loss
You could miss someone, but it did no good to fixate on loss. I wished I had the ready words of a Breeder or the ability to comfort with a soft touch. I didn't. Instead I had daggers and determination. That would have to do.
