Lady Amber had gone to every possible effort to be dazzling and had succeeded.

[fitzloved quote bot @roostercrowned]

Because I could not look at him, broken and in anguish, and not feel a sea-surge of anger and hatred. No one, no one could be allowed to hurt him as badly as they’d hurt him and continue to live.

[fitzloved quote bot @roostercrowned]

"My name. As in what my mother called me at my birth?"
"Yes."
"And if I tell you, would you call me by that name?"
"In private, only. And only if you wished me to."
"Ah." He turned to face me. His face lit with delight. "Oh, but I would."

[fitzloved quote bot @roostercrowned]

"He is not my lover. He is far more than that to me, far more precious. I am the White Prophet and he is my Catalyst, and we are come here to change to course of time. I am here to see that Icefyre lives."

[fitzloved quote bot @roostercrowned]

"Fitz?" The inflection was the Fool’s but the hoarse voice was mine.
I smiled. "Beloved."

[fitzloved quote bot @roostercrowned]

They had flayed the tattooed skin from his back. I knelt beside it like a man in prayer.

[fitzloved quote bot @roostercrowned]

"I watched you carve that figurehead. Don’t deny to me what you feel for him."

[fitzloved quote bot @roostercrowned]

"I’ll protect you and we will kill them all," I promised him savagely. I spoke my oath tightly, only to him. I leaned in close to whisper the words. "They will bleed and die and we will take back our own from them."

[fitzloved quote bot @roostercrowned]

"You promised!" he roared. He seized the front of Beloved’s shirt and pulled him close. "You promised me. You said you would choose her life over mine."
"Not like this," Beloved wailed. "Not like this!"
Abruptly my father seized him in a hug.

[fitzloved quote bot @roostercrowned]

Worse, I felt myself turning and opening to it, as if it were my lover’s mouth upon mine, yet I did not know if I would devour or be devoured.

[fitzloved quote bot @roostercrowned]

"But you can! You can! Take the risk! Take all the risks! So we die in a stone, or on a ship, or at Clerres. So we die, and it ends. We die together."

[fitzloved quote bot @roostercrowned]

"There, now you have said it," the Fool replied as if I have proven his point to him. "And I love you and all that is part of you."

[fitzloved quote bot @roostercrowned]

All at court must wonder at the suppleness of his waist given the substantial morning appetite he professed to.

[fitzloved quote bot @roostercrowned]

When I glanced at him, he was looking at me with a fondness I could not bear.

[fitzloved quote bot @roostercrowned]

"Give me a face you could love," he quietly beseeched her.
She went still and soft in his hands.

[fitzloved quote bot @roostercrowned]

"Don’t go," the Fool said softly.
"What?" I sat up slowly.
His grip tightened slowly on my shoulder. "Don’t go where I can’t follow you. Don’t leave me behind. I’d still have to go on."

[fitzloved quote bot @roostercrowned]

I rinsed it and wiped his face again. The thick yellow tears welled in his eyes again. I stopped. "Am I hurting you?" I asked him quietly.
"It has been so long since anyone touched me with kindness."

[fitzloved quote bot @roostercrowned]

He gave me the most direct look I had ever received from him. I did not understand the hurt I saw in his eyes, nor the hope. He needed something from me, but I wasn’t sure what it was.

[fitzloved quote bot @roostercrowned]

He laughed. A very good sound.

[fitzloved quote bot @roostercrowned]

Then he was still. The panting sounds he had made ceased, and I thought he had died. Then in a terrible exhalation of breath, he screamed a name. "FitzChivalry! Fitz! Help me, oh help me! Fitz! Please, Fitz!"
