Kinley Macgregor Quotes

Kill him? (Jake)
Confront him. (Morgan)
Since when do you take the sissy way out? (Jake)
Excuse me? (Morgan)
Face it, Drake, that good English breeding of yours is showing itself. Talking ain't a man's way of doing things. You know that. You got a problem, you cut its heart out and then it's not a problem anymore. (Jake) ~ Kinley MacGregor

You're not like other people and it pains me to see you do something so common when I know there's much more to you than that. (Jack)
How do you know? (Lorelei)
I see it every time I look at you. You have a passion for life that burns so bright it almost singes me to be near it. Every time I see you suppress that fire it pains me. I don't want anything to extinguish that fire. (Jack) ~ Kinley MacGregor

Inside of every being there is a constant war being raged. The part that tell us to do what is right and what is decent and the part of us that is self-serving. The part that wants what it wants regardless of who is hurt getting it. ~ Kinley MacGregor

Was that a smile? (Nora)
Was what a smile? (Ewan)
That strange curvature of your lips. You know, the one where the corners are actually going up instead of down. (Nora) ~ Kinley MacGregor

What did they do to you, to make you withdraw so far into yourself? (Sin doesn't answer.) You've left me again, haven't you? I can always tell. Your eyes turn dull, cold. Very well, I shall leave you in peace. But know this: One day I am going to find the heart you have buried away from the world. (Callie)
And what would you do with it if you found it? (Sin)
I would hold it safe and keep it from the hurt that has shriveled it. (Callie) ~ Kinley MacGregor

She is beautiful, isn't she? (Lochlan)
Like the first day of spring after a long, harsh winter. (Sin) ~ Kinley MacGregor

Well, I don't know no woman of breeding. (Bart)
And I am sure the ladies of the world over are now breathing a collective sigh of relief. (Henri) ~ Kinley MacGregor

Ewan had shown her ways for a man to take a woman that she wouldn't have thought possible. But never once had he hurt her.
Nay, her bear was ever tender. ~ Kinley MacGregor

A jovial man can be happy with anyone, but when a sad one laughs, he treasures that one who brings him the sunshine. (Cat) ~ Kinley MacGregor

Have you always been so large? (Nora)
Aye. I came from my mother's womb at full height. The shock of it almost killed her. (Ewan) ~ Kinley MacGregor

I'm not moping. (Ewan)
Oh, forgive me. See, where I come from an upside-down smile means you're frowning, and if you're frowning while withdrawn from everyone and everything, it means you're moping. I guess here in your cave, the world is backward and a frown means you're happy. (Nora) ~ Kinley MacGregor

Aelfa assures me you eat small children every morn to break your fast. Do you? (Callie)
Nay, I find them to be too harsh on the belly. All that moving around once they're swallowed. Not worth the effort, really. (Sin) ~ Kinley MacGregor

I would sooner geld myself. Drunk. With a dull knife." Sin spoke with a slow, deadly emphasis on each word. King Henry II stood a few feet away from him without the protection of a bodyguard or other courtier. They were alone in the throne room, and no doubt any other man would be cowering before his monarch. But Sin had never cowed in his life, and Henry knew better than to expect such behavior from him now.
Henry's face hardened. "I could command it of you."
Sin cocked one arrogant brow and asked, "Then why don't you?"
Henry smiled at that, and the tension left his body as he closed the distance between them. Their friendship had been forged years ago, in the dark of night, and at the end of a blade pressed deep against Henry's throat. Sin had spared the king's life and since that day, Henry had treasured the only man who had never been awed by his power or authority. Sin answered to no man, be he king, pope, sultan or begger.
But then, there was nothing in life that awed Sin. Nothing in life that commanded him, or touched him. He was completely alone. And he preferred it that way.
"I didn't get this throne by being a fool, Sin. Should I command you to it, I know precisely what you'd do. You'd turn your back on me and head straight for yon door." Henry looked sincere. "God's truth, you are the only man alive I never wish to make my enemy. 'Tis why I ask this as a friend."
"Damn you."

-Sin & Henry ~ Kinley MacGregor

The last time I told one of your would-be paramours nay on your behalf, she damn near unmanned me. This time I wish protection when I deliver the news. 'Tis not amusing. You think what you do is dangerous? I defy you to be in my boots for one moment when I face the great Ovarian Horde in your stead. (Kit) ~ Kinley MacGregor

I was angry with you. (Callie)
For what? (Sin)
Sleeping on the floor again. What is it with you and the floor? Most women have to fear their husbands are in the bed of another. Me, 'tis the hearth I envy. (Callie) ~ Kinley MacGregor

Strength In Fortitude. (MacAllister Creed) ~ Kinley MacGregor

Nora cocked her head as she studied it. It was an interesting piece. Rather large as it lay nestled in the short, dark curls. It seemed oddly harmless lying there, and she had a sudden urge to reach out and touch it. ~ Kinley MacGregor

(Lorelei is accosted by Galbraith.)
If you ever lay hands on what's mine again, as God is my witness, I'll lay you down dead. (Jack) ~ Kinley MacGregor

It's not easy to kill someone, Rowena. To stare at them, face to face, that moment when you both realize you've dealt them a mortal blow. There is something that passes between you. My father once told me it's a part of their soul that creeps into you. A part that will haunt you all of your life. (Stryder) ~ Kinley MacGregor

The bishop was aghast. "You would threaten me?"
Christian didn't hesitate with his answer."For her life, aye."
"You would jeopardize your soul for her? She is a heretic and a witch."
"She is a woman. My woman."
His words only succeeded in angering the bishop more. "I will have you excommunicated for this."
Christian pulled the black monk's robe from over his head and balled it up. "Then excommunicate me. If I am in the wrong for protecting an innocent woman, then God can judge me as He will. ~ Kinley MacGregor

Nay," she said stubbornly. "I have just been told that the only chance I have for freedom is in your hands and by all that is holy, you will deliver me my freedom or I shall see to it that you live out the rest of your life in merciless misery."
He gaped at her. On any other man such an expression would have looked foolish, but to credit Lord Stryder, even when taken by surprise, he still managed to carry off an air of supreme authority and handsomeness. "I beg your pardon? Have you gone completely mad?"
"Not I, but rather the king you love so well. It appears he would see us marry."
"My hairy arse."
She gave him a droll stare. "That is much more information about your person, Lord Stryder, than I care to know. ~ Kinley MacGregor

Go to the devil, Captain Drake. (Serenity)
That's not very ladylike! (Morgan)
Then try this one. Go to hell, and ... and rot! (Serenity) ~ Kinley MacGregor

I say burn that witch. (Enos)
Aye. Burn the witch. Burn the witch. (Clan)
Burn the witch and her ugly shoes too! (Enos)
(Braden frowned at him.)
Well, they are ugly. (Enos) ~ Kinley MacGregor

Braden arched his brow as Maggie walked away. She was truly something else. What she was, he couldn't say in polite company, but never before had he met a woman quite like her. ~ Kinley MacGregor

Those who dare to speak to me directly call me Sin." She nodded. "Cyn? Short for Cynric?"
"Nay," he said, recovering his stoicism as he remembered who and what he was. "S-I-N. As in conceived in, born in, and am currently living happily in."
He felt her hand tremble for the first time. "You like to frighten people, don't you?" she asked.
"Aye."
"Why?"
"Why not?"
-Sin & Callie ~ Kinley MacGregor

(Mavis led Lorelei over to a shaded spot on the deck where a large pile of shirts, pants, and socks waited. From where she stood, it was a daunting task.)
How long have you been working on that? Just since the dawn of time, or eternally? (Lorelei) ~ Kinley MacGregor

I wish you were small enough that I could give you the spanking you deserve. (Aisleen)
Mother, I'm injured. (Ewan)
Aye, and in the head to boot. (Aisleen) ~ Kinley MacGregor

The fatal stoop. It's guaranteed to bring a man to his knees. (Kristen)
It sounds dangerous. What am I supposed to do, knock him over the head with something? (Serenity) ~ Kinley MacGregor

You better not tup our sister! Or you'll be having us to deal with, Braden MacAllister! (Duncan)
Could I please just deal with one threat of death at a time? (Braden) ~ Kinley MacGregor

Adieu, my ladies. If you ever venture to Scotland…leave the husbands at home. (Braden) ~ Kinley MacGregor

Emily sighed and looked to Simon. "Your brother is a hard man." Draven choked on his wine. She frowned. "Milord, are you all right?" she asked, pounding her hand on his back. "Fine," Draven said, then shrugged off her touch. "Your choice of words just caught me off guard." Once more Simon burst into laughter. "What?" she asked. Simon shook his head. "I'll leave it to my brother to explain to you just how hard a man he is." "Simon," he warned. "Don't growl at me when you instigated it."
-Emily, Draven & Simon ~ Kinley MacGregor

There are times when I swear that boy is as mature as an old man, and other times when he hasn't got the sense of a three-year-old babe. (Mavis)
Good Lord, Mavis. He is a grown man after all! (Alice) ~ Kinley MacGregor

You know, Drake, I seem to recall this impertinent young pup who once told me that problems shared are problems solved. (Jake)
And I seem to recall a surly pirate telling me to mind my own business or I'd find myself gutted. (Morgan) ~ Kinley MacGregor

All right, Kit. But you have to be careful. (Billy)
I'll be careful. Just you watch. I'll be as careful as ... as ... as something that's really careful, that's what. (Kit) ~ Kinley MacGregor

The queen of the sky told him that in death there is no satisfaction. Only pain will find you. So he asked her when the pain would lessen. The queen told him never. The pain is what shows us how much we loved them. If you truly love someone, then the pain of their loss will always be in your heart. (Nora) ~ Kinley MacGregor

(Will unsheathed his sword.)
What is it you do? (Stryder)
Remember when you told us you'd rather be dead than married? (Val) ~ Kinley MacGregor

Thinking of jumping? (Callie)
It would make you a rich widow if I did. Care to push me? (Sin) ~ Kinley MacGregor

I was thinking of setting myself on fire tonight. Would you mind? (Callie)
What? (Sin)
Ha! I knew it. I knew I could get you to talk. Just think, a whole word, too. Who knows if I keep this up, I might have you speaking an entire sentence by week's end. (Callie) ~ Kinley MacGregor

(Serenity couldn't speak. His smile grew wider.)
Take your time. Women do that a lot around me. (Stanley) ~ Kinley MacGregor

Now, why did he have a hard time believing that? ... Because it would be the first time in your life that you ever won an argument with Lord Thick and Knotty Pate. (Morgan) ~ Kinley MacGregor

You are beautiful. Definitely worth a few milksop words of dribble. (Stryder) ~ Kinley MacGregor

How mad at me would you be if I hit him really hard? Just once. (Sin) ~ Kinley MacGregor

I guess it doesn't make sense to hate you anymore. As Lorelei is so quick to say, the past is the past and it can do us no harm unless we let it. (Jack) ~ Kinley MacGregor

Your brother is a beslubbering, churlish, hell-governed princox, and I hope one day he gets the beating he deserves for it. (Maggie) ~ Kinley MacGregor

And what can a simple girl do? (Henry)
I was told, by my father, of St. Mary of Aragon who single-handedly brought down an entire Saracen army with nothing more than her faith in God. He also spoke of an ancient Celtic queen named Boudicca who brought Rome to her knees and burned London to the ground. He oft said that a woman was far more deadly as an enemy than a man, because men lead with their heads and women with their hearts. You can argue and win against another's head, but never against her heart. (Callie) ~ Kinley MacGregor

You, sir, have the manners of a stump. (Nora)
Since I'm as tall as a tree, that would be rather fitting, don't you think? (Ewan) ~ Kinley MacGregor

Love really did conquer all–even two headstrong people who were bound to breed even more obstinate children for the future. But that was all right by her. After all, the world needed heroes who could wield both swords and words with equal skill. ~ Kinley MacGregor

If it makes you feel better though, she is well worth it. (Draven)
I hope you can still say that when they're scooping your entrails out and you're still alive to feel it. (Simon) ~ Kinley MacGregor

But I– (Jake)
But nothing, Captain. Heaven forbid you leave the helm for more than a minute. Anything could happen. God could toss down a lightning bolt and set fire to the ship. A sea monster could rise up from the depth of the ocean and swallow us whole. Or, dare I say it? The weight of male egos may be so great that it plops a hole right in the center of deck and we sink from it! (Serenity) ~ Kinley MacGregor

She broke the seal to find the flowing, masculine script that had come to mean the world to her.
Courage, my love. I need you to possess the same fire that led you from Scotland to Normandy that first day when we met. Whatever the day brings, know that I will always love you. You carry with you, my heart, my soul, my very being. Be strong for me, Kenna.
Ever your knight,
S
Postscriptum
S doesn't stand for Stryder.
She laughed at that, even though her eyes were filled with tears.
-Simon in a letter to Kenna ~ Kinley MacGregor

I am merely biding my time. (Stryder)
For what? (Rowena)
For the moment when I am out of this cell and am able to wreak havoc on the one who put me here. I'm going to pull out his innards through his nostrils and dance around his entrails. (Stryder) ~ Kinley MacGregor

Her father had always said a person could tell much about a man by the way he dealt with animals, simpletons, and children.
-Adara's thoughts ~ Kinley MacGregor

I'm not allowed to walk topside, nor can I walk below deck. What could possibly be left for me to do? Oh, I know. Die from boredom! (Serenity) ~ Kinley MacGregor

Well, if ifs and nuts were candy and nuts, then we'd all have a Merry Christmas. (Serenity) ~ Kinley MacGregor

One day your prince will come. Mine took a wrong turn, got lost, and is too stubborn to ask for directions. ~ Kinley MacGregor

It seems the women have decided I must put a stop to the feud against the MacDouglas or else they'll serve us no more. (Lochlan)
In any capacity. (Ewan)
By Satan's hairy toes, Sin, it appears I've died and gone to hell. (Braden) ~ Kinley MacGregor

Nay, Father. You've a wedding to be about. I want no one to ever question my right to this lady again. (Ewan)
Ewan. You'll pass out before it's through. (Lochlan)
Then toss some water on my face, prop me up and make sure I say 'I do' when I need to. (Ewan) ~ Kinley MacGregor

Is something wrong? (Callie)
How could anything be wrong while I have you in my arms? (Sin) ~ Kinley MacGregor

Damn you for killing my son. I wish you had died in the womb. Better I should have killed myself than ever given birth to a monster such as you. (Sin's Mother)
Thank you, Mother. As always, I will cherish your well wishes. (Sin) ~ Kinley MacGregor

And why are you sitting there? (Callie)
Because it's rather difficult to stand while sleeping. (Sin)
You are sleeping outside my door? Why? (Callie)
Because if I slept outside of Simon's door, the innkeeper might think I'm strange. (Sin) ~ Kinley MacGregor

And what would you have me say? (Lorelei)
That you love me, too, would be nice. Especially given the fact that I look like a complete ass kneeling here in front of you while two hundred men watch. (Jack) ~ Kinley MacGregor

Ever the charmer, eh, Braden? (Sin)
Hold your tongue, Sin. (Braden)
I would, but with my luck, one of your giant Scottish bugs would land on it. Besides, it makes my hand wet and pruney when I do that. (Sin) ~ Kinley MacGregor

Sin spied a straw-covered head peeping over the side of the wagon. Once the man disappeared from sight, the woman scrambled from the cart, with the boy one step behind. No one seemed to notice her peculiar activity, or if they did, they ignored it. She took a moment to dust the straw off them, but somehow she missed a piece that hung in the midst of one coppery curl. It bobbed as she moved.
Simon laughed as she took the boy's hand and led him through the crowd. "Why was she hiding?"
"She seeks to escape royal custody."
The mirth faded from Simon's eyes. "Should we notify the guards?"
"Nay, I think we can manage to retake her."
"Then what are we waiting for?"
"I have no idea. I simply like watching her maneuver."
-Simon, Sin, Callie & Jamie ~ Kinley MacGregor

See!" she snapped at him. "You men are all brutish. You force your strength and will on us as if we matter for naught and then you wonder why we don'tlike " - she spat the word at him - "you. Really? Is it any wonder? Why would any woman want to subject herself to the male ego? Why?"

She looked down at his body as a sudden heat came into her gaze that made him instantly nervous. "Sure, you're a handsome beastie with kissable lips when they're not bleeding. You're fair in form with big, bulging - " He actually cringed in fear of the word "cock" coming out of her mouth again, but luckily she averted her thoughts as her gaze met his.

For the first time the despair left her voice. "Your eyes are so beautiful." She ran one finger over his brow, making him instantly hard for her. "Did you know that?" Then the gloomy tone returned as she dropped her hand from his face. "Of course you do. You're a worthless man. Just like all the others."

"Yeah," Blaise teased. "You're worthless, Varian. And what on him bulges again, Merewyn?"

Varian glared at the mandrake, who merely continued to laugh at him.

"Everything. His arms, his legs, his - "

"Enough, Merewyn," Varian said from between clenched teeth.

"Well, you do bulge. I've seen it."

"We've all seen it," Merrick said, his voice filled with humor, "And it's sickening."

Varian glared at the triplets, especially the ferret, who was lau ~ Kinley MacGregor

I love when you stand close to me. I can feel your breath fall against my neck and it sends chills and fire all over my body. (Jack) ~ Kinley MacGregor

I love you, Callie ingen Neil, Lairdess of the MacNeelys and wife of a man who is so unworthy of you that he swears he will spend the rest of his life trying to show you just how much you mean to him. (Sin)
There's no need to try, Sin. All I have to do is look into your eyes and I know. (Callie) ~ Kinley MacGregor

You should have been a jester instead of a knight. (Sin)
True, but jesters don't get to carry a sword. Personally, I like my sword. You know, the whole knight images really makes the ladies lust for me. Not that any have lusted for me recently, since I have only been in the company of married women, but one is ever hopeful ... Oh, wait, I'm in Scotland, where they hate us English. Damn, my chances with the women have just fallen to nil. Wasn't there a monastery a few leagues back? Mayhap I should go take my vows and just save myself the embarrassment of being sneered at. (Simon) ~ Kinley MacGregor

You worthless excuse for a dung dealer. (Stryder) ~ Kinley MacGregor

Are you sure the two of you aren't married? (Bavel)
Why do you ask? (Ewan)
You can barely stand to speak to each other, and yet when the lady walks off you look as if you can already taste her. Smacks of marriage to me. (Bavel) ~ Kinley MacGregor

We all survive. We all go home. We are brothers unto the end. (Brotherhood Creed) ~ Kinley MacGregor

You harm her, and so help me, I'll defy death itself to rip your heart out. (Ewan) ~ Kinley MacGregor

You're right, Simon. Thank you for coming. (Sin)
(Simon threw himself against the stone wall, his face a mask of shock and dismay.)
Callie, quick, take cover, love. The castle is doomed. Sin said thank you to me. The end of the earth is upon us. (He crossed himself.) Hail Mary full of grace. (Simon) ~ Kinley MacGregor

Bah. What's a little water to a pirate? (Barney)
A bout of pneumonia if he's not careful. (Morgan) ~ Kinley MacGregor

You've no idea what it's like, Captain Drake, to be a woman. To be told all your life that everything you want is foolish and that you're useless except as a broodmare. First it was simple. 'Don't climb that tree, Serenity. Ladies never do such.' Then it was, 'Don't run, it's not ladylike. Don't raise your voice. Don't speak your thoughts. Don't laugh too loudly, don't eat too much, don't cut your hair, don't wear those colors.' My whole life is don't. Now I'm too old to even be a broodmare. (Serenity) ~ Kinley MacGregor

Don't worry. (Morgan)
'Don't worry,' he says. We've only got a madman trying to blow us out of the water, and the Marauder tells me not to worry. Tell me, Captain Pirate, at what point should I start to worry? When I see the whites of their eyes? Or when the sharks begin to circle me? (Serenity) ~ Kinley MacGregor

I want your heart, Sin. (Callie)
It's battered and useless, but what remains of it is all yours, milady. (Sin) ~ Kinley MacGregor

Speak openly. There is no one I trust more than Lutian. (Adara)
He's a half-wit, my queen. (Xerus)
Half-wit, whole-wit, I have enough of them to know to keep silent. So speak, good counselor, and let the queen judge which of the two of us is the greater fool present. (Lutian) ~ Kinley MacGregor

Is that a threat? You're but one man against all of us. (Fergus)
Aye. I'm one man with a full garrison of troops sitting rather nicely entrenched on my English lands. Trained knights and soldiers ready to march at my command. You touch one hair on Lochlan's head and I can promise you, I'll see every one of you in your grave. (Braden) ~ Kinley MacGregor

Ignoring the crowd in the hall and her uncle. Stryder picked her up from her chair and carried her from the room, up the stairs until they reached her bedchamber.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"I'm scandalizing you so that you will have no choice save to marry me in the morning."
-Rowena & Stryder ~ Kinley MacGregor

It's amazing how much power a simple false phrase repeated can have. ~ Kinley MacGregor

To adventure the likes of which I think neither of us have ever seen. (Morgan)
And to fate. To the very fate that has abandoned us to turmoil. (Serenity) ~ Kinley MacGregor

What the devil are you doing here? (Morgan)
I am sitting in a most uncomfortable chair. (Serenity) ~ Kinley MacGregor

The only way to peace is to lay aside weapons. (Rowena)
And the bloodiest of wars are often fought not with weapons, but rather with tongues. A man can heal an external wound a thousand times faster than he can heal even a small one dealt to his heart. You are a warrior, milady. You just choose a different forum for your battles, but you battle nonetheless. Like the men you hate so much, you hurt and wound. Have you given thought to why you fight the wars you do? (Zenobia) ~ Kinley MacGregor

Varian, please. I didn't mean what I said.'
'Of course you didn't,' he said snidely. 'No one ever does. People always speak without thought. But it's amazing how much damage thoughtless words can wreak, isn't it? ~ Kinley MacGregor

I could no more love a man of the sword than either of our mothers. So, tell me, Stryder. How do we get out of this? (Rowena)
I don't know. Murder? (Stryder) ~ Kinley MacGregor

Not I, but rather the king you love so well. It appears he would see us marry. (Rowena)
My hairy arse. (Stryder)
That is much more information about your person, Lord Stryder, than I care to know. (Rowena) ~ Kinley MacGregor

He ground his teeth together, the torture of it almost more than he could bear.
The urge to pull her to him was overwhelming, but to do that would cost him dearly, for no doubt she would run out the door, damning him with every step.
This was Lorelei, the artist, and she didn't see him as a man. Right now, he was about as human as the ridiculous fruit she'd painted in the past. And if he played along with her wants, perhaps she'd let him show her his ... banana. ~ Kinley MacGregor

Would you have really killed him? (Lorelei)
For touching you, absolutely. (Jack) ~ Kinley MacGregor

She walked over to Ioan. "And for your information, my lord ... " She lifted his hand and put his index and middle finger upright. "I assure you that there is nothing wrong with Christian's technique or prowess."
Corryn, who had paused beside the group after Christian had lunged at Lutian, broke into laughter.
Ioan hissed at her. "What are you laughing at?"
"I was just thinking of why we can't go to Scotland anymore. Someone should tell Christian about your little problem." She held up her pinkie and wiggled it, then burst into laugher.
"You're not supposed to know anything about these matters!"
Corryn rushed off before her brother could grab her. ~ Kinley MacGregor

A woman ever needs know about men is that they are creatures of their codpieces. Appeal to their chausses and you will have complete control of them, for when their male piece is in control, their brain is not. ~ Kinley MacGregor

How do you feel?" Phantom asked him as he set his cup aside to pin him with a frown.
Christian leaned his head to the right to stretch one of the sore muscles in his neck. "Fit to ride."
Phantom scoffed. "Interesting, since you look as if you're only fit to fall over."
-Phantom & Christian ~ Kinley MacGregor

Serenity barely heard the last of his words as he made his way out of the cabin. Instead, her attention was on the quick, clean strokes of Morgan's writing. It amazed her that a pirate would be literate. Especially one sold so young to the sea.
She broke the seal.
I feel like a weed in the midst of Winter. 'Tis the sunshine of your smile that will bring back the Spring of my days. We arrive in four days. I hope you will grace me again with your presence.
Yours,
Morgan
She traced the flowing letters with the tip of her finger and couldn't suppress a smile. A poetic pirate no less. Who would have thought? ~ Kinley MacGregor

But my father's is closest. (Emily)
A wounded hawk doesn't bed down in a fox's den. (Draven) ~ Kinley MacGregor

There will be no insults here," Lachlan said to Ewan, his voice stern. "At least not against Sin. Braden, on the other hand, you may feel free to attack." "Och, now," Braden bristled, "where's your brotherly love?" Lochlan smiled devilishly. "That is my brotherly love. Notice I have yet to taunt you?" "Aye, but I'm sure it's nothing more than an oversight."
-Lochlan & Braden ~ Kinley MacGregor

His eyes defiant and smoldering, Braden held his sword aimed at the MacDouglas's throat. "To get to her, you'll have to come through me."
"You want to die for her?" Robby asked.
"Aye," Braden said without hesitation. He glanced at her and for the first time she saw the love in his eyes. "I will die for her. ~ Kinley MacGregor

I feel like a weed in the midst of Winter. 'Tis the sunshine of your smile that will bring back the Spring of my days. We arrive in four days. I hope you will grace me again with your presence. Yours, Morgan (Morgan's letter) ~ Kinley MacGregor

Come now, my lord. Can we not have a bit of fun with him? (Knight)
My idea of amusement is disemboweling those who contradict and annoy me. What say you that you and I have a bit of fun? (Sin) ~ Kinley MacGregor

Let me tell you a little story. There was once a boy who wasn't even old enough to shave. Beaten. Naked. He was sent out into the great desert with only a small dagger for protection. I have killed cobras with my bare hands and I have lived through conditions so horrendous, not even hell itself scares me. If any of you think for one minute that I have any soul left to prevent me from killing you, you're sadly mistaken. If you think for one minute, any of you are capable of killing me, then I say try it. But make sure you've had a good confession beforehand, because I assure you it will be the very last mistake you make in this lifetime. (Sin) ~ Kinley MacGregor

Why are you so angry? I've come back for you and this is how you greet me? (Morgan)
You've come back for me? Oh, how delightful. Shall I put on my best gown or should I just fall down on my knees in gratitude that you finally remembered I exist? (Serenity) ~ Kinley MacGregor

A mighty oak can be felled by even the tiniest of insects when one allows them to continually gnaw at it. (Callie's Mother) ~ Kinley MacGregor
