And in that case, I hope someday you'll find someone who deserves your care." He looked down, no longer seeming quite so positive. Quote ...whoops "There is no question of deserve.

Not simply blinking into existence, but instead standing at the edge of their vision, so when then looked right at him it was as though he was always there. He wore a dark cloak and carried a knife that seemed to shift, leaving afterimages whenever it moved. TAAron looked uneasy.
