Two hands. One to destroy, the other to save. Which had he lost?
How long had he been doing what was necessary instead of what was right? In a fair world they would be one and the same.
When you saw me with a dagger in hand - as if to throw at you - you didn't call for your guards. You didn't fear I was here to kill you. You looked over your shoulder to see what I was aiming at. That's the most loving gesture I think a man could receive from a woman. Unless you'd like to sit on my knee for a while...

A weeping woman is a bucket with no bottom.
