The one thing we can never get enough of is love. And the one thing we never give enough of is love.
---Henry Miller
There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature.
---Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey
When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.
---Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain.
---Emily Dickinson
| Victor | "If you gave someone your heart and they died, did they take it with them? Did you spend the rest of forever with a hole inside you that couldn't be filled?" <center>---Jodi Picoult, Nineteen Minutes |
| Zach | What would I do without your smart mouth? |
| Skylar | To make you feel my love... “Life damages us, every one. We can’t escape that damage. But now, I am also learning this: We can be mended. We mend each other.” |
| Derek | A gift from Gaia. Though I wonder if it can possibly be healthy to live in such a prison of self-control and courtesy. It just makes me wonder what hell the boy's been through, that taught him to be so very polite and careful and contained. And what scars lie under the smooth surface. The last thing I want to do is cause more. |
| Riley | A bright-burning kindred spirit, which is the last thing I would have expected to find in one of *them*... And a generous soul. Her light is sorely needed in this time and place. |
| Shadi | Hijabi hurricane, child prodigy, and I seriously think I'm going grey. This must be some of what it's like to have kids. Although I don't think I was that insane as a teenager. Maybe we can get her parents to hire a freakin' bodyguard... |
| The kid | So young, to be that scarred. I never thought I had mothering urges, but between Jack and Shadi, they're awake and alive now. If only I could keep them out of danger. But there's no sheltering a warrior, even if he's ridiculously young to be fighting this war. I just wish I could offer healing for that wounded spirit. |
| Sera | I hope she's enough of a leader to keep them together. I think so. And at least I don't want to jump her. |
| Sandra | ( I think of that song "Brick House" whenever I see her... even though I'm pretty sure she never lets it all hang out.) Having a righteous fullmoon around is another gift from the Mother, albeit a dangerous one. She doesn't quite understand the situation, not yet, but she will. And she'll be a valuable asset and field leader for the loup-garou. Now, if I can just manage to NOT piss her off again... because dude, that HURT. |
| Amane | Riley's black-haired friend. She seems so... flawless. Not sure how to relate to someone who's that polished all the time. It makes me wonder if I have some internal bias going on, about class or money or something. |
| Rei | To be watched. An android with an awakened soul? She's just... unnerving. |
| Kaminari | Speaking of bias... I'm pretty sure I *do* have one against spoiled, rich, arrogant teenage werewolf princesses. All that righteous desperation to be treated as an adult just makes her youth more obvious. I have to remember to be compassionate, to think of her as someone who's probably as damaged as the rest of us. And possibly insecure, which would explain her need to be recognized and important and in charge. |
