1 " There is only one vampire I have met that I truly believe found his one.” “Really?” “Yes, Rupert.” “Rupert?” My voice hitched up with disbelief. “Sour-puss Rupert the party-pooper? "
― K.M. Shea , Magic Redeemed (Hall of Blood and Mercy, #2)
2 " Death is inevitable; by facing Rupert you areonly learning how to prolong your miserable end. Strength is nothing when we jump off this mortal coil, and offers no sweet solace when it is over,” he said. “See?” Celestina planted her hands on her hips. “He also thinks you need to attack more.”“How on earth did you get ‘attack more’ out of that? "
3 " there is no greater strength than defending another, but the cost for such strength is great. You must be prepared to fight—and indeed kill—for others. You will shed blood, receive injuries, and possibly be criticized for protecting those in need. But magic is no good to us if we do not use it to do what is right and to protect others. "
4 " I believe you are the first person to have knocked yourself out by dropping a vampire on your head. Well done,” he said in his irritatingly rich voice. "
5 " Rocky road—shall you seduce me again, you flirt? Or perhaps tonight is the night of mint chocolate chip? "
6 " Precisely. So for the next week we’ll be practicing to see who qualifies to be on the team. It will be a wonderful bonding experience.” The purr in Killian’s voice made me think the next week was actually going to bond us the same way childhood traumas can serve as bonding experiences for siblings.
