War in the abstract is a great intellectual puzzle, but in reality it's all blood and tears.
Then why make it into a game?
To deny what I was is to deny what I am.

War in the abstract is a great intellectual puzzle, but in reality it's all blood and tears.
Then why make it into a game?
To deny what I was is to deny what I am.
God, I get so tired of it sometimes. We go on and everything around us dies.
Do you still love her?
No.
That's all that needs to be said. She's your friend, and she's been hurt. You'll help her. I'd expect you to do no less.
The truth is, you and I were too different.
Maybe if I'd stayed.
You would've been unhappy. So I let you go. My wandering knight, charging off to right all the wrongs of the world.
[At her husband's grave]
You'd think I'd learn how to handle this, wouldn't you. The strange thing is, every time it happens I tell myself I won't go through it again. I swear to myself I won't fall in love with a mortal. As if love were something you had any control over. You and Mac have something good. I envy you.
Grace, about you and Mac...
We had a moment, that was all. Though I wanted it to be more. Please don't hold it against me.
It's funny, but I don't. It would take me several lifetimes to find out everything in Duncan's past. I know there have been others. But I never thought I would meet one of them. And here you are.
