Why Are You Doing This? (rafael) Because Life’s Too Short To Spend It Fighting When You Could Be Holding The One You Love. And Love’s Too Rare To Squander It With Petty Concerns.

I Spent My Entire Youth Fighting With My Dad Over Every Little Thing And Damned If I Wouldn’t Sell My Soul To See Him One More Time And Tell Him I Was Sorry For The Last Words I Said To Him. Words I Can Never Take Back That Should Have Never Been Said. So Call Your Mom. No Matter What Kind Of Relationship You Have With Your Parents, I Swear To You, You’ll Miss Them When They’re Gone. (kyrian)

Tell Me, Acheron, Is There Anyone You Will Ever Trust Enough To Release Your Soul? (artemis) You Know Better. You’ve Tutored Me Too Well On How Vicious Women Are. On How Much Love Ruins And Destroys. Thank You For The Lesson, Artemis. It Was Just What I Needed. And I Assure You, It’s One I’ll Never Forget. (acheron)

How Was I To Know Your Pet Was A God-killer? What Kind Of Idiot Ties Herself Down To One Of His Kind? (dionysus) Well, Gee, What Was I Supposed To Do? Hook Up With Mr. All-powerful God-killer Or Get Myself A Mardi Gras Float And Hang Out With Him? (she Pointed To Camulus, Who Looked Extremely Offended By Her Comment.) You’re Such A Moron.

Zarek? (astrid) What?! (zarek) Don’t Use That Tone With Me. I Like To Know Where People Are In My House. Be Nice, Or I’ll Make You Wear A Cowbell. (astrid)

When I Was A Little Girl, I Used To Try And Bring Sunshine To My Mother. I Felt So Bad That She Had Never Really Seen Or Felt It. So I Would Try And Catch It In Jars. When That Failed, I Captured Jars And Jars Of Lightening Bugs And Told Her That If We Could Catch Enough Of Them, Then It Would Look Like The Sun.
