would you give up on Percival ? I suppose one day you will have to , hmm ? you are half elven , are you not ? you and your children will long outlive your beloved . but if there was a chance to have him stay . . . would you not take it ?
your ball ? brought my children and my brother into harm’s way .
but nothing is too much for your ‘beloved’ husband, is it ? even if it means destroying all of our lives in the process .
vox machina won’t rest until scanlan’s returned to us . end of story .

“ that’s not what I meant ! I’m coming whether you whether you like it or not, but I meant making decisions like this . we all knew that party was a risk . “
“ see, this is why I told you I didn’t like you being there . not only were you put at risk, but my children and your own children were there . innocent bystanders . just . . . promise me this won’t happen again . “
