ā oh, look at you, an attempt at greatness! pity itās just an attempt. Ā ā // @spiderwarden
In an instant, he has spun about on his heel to face her, uncaring if any of their companions might see as the quiet, indignant rage of centuries at last reaches its ignition point.
Drawn up to his full height, he towers over the smaller drow.
His height and frameāso unnatural to the drow raceāhad served him well in the Underdark. That coupled with his skill and strength had made him difficult to oppose and even more difficult to kill among other males. It had continued to keep him alive even after he had been sold to settle his matriarch's debt and forced to fight in those gladiatorial matches put on for the matriarchs and their female spawn for sport.
Drow females were the ones who taught him to bow his head and to make himself small and to avert his eyes from them lest they decide that he needs reminding of his place.
Drow females who made it clear that he was a plaything for their mercurial whims, a tool towards their egomaniacal ends, and a weapon to wield and to point in whatever direction they so chose.
Drow females for whom he fought against other drow and all manner of other creatures simply for the right to keep his life, that they might be entertained.
Drow females who looked upon him and spoke to him just as this one does now.
Shoulders squared back and every muscle tensed and ready for the potential consequences to the retort already loaded on the tip of his tongue, he rather pointedly lowers himself that he might meet her eye to eye.
"We stand no longer in Menzoberranzan, Baenre, nor in any other place where I need tolerate you speaking to me in such a manner," he all but hisses, teeth nearly bared and pulse already pounding in his ears.
[ This is not done. It simply is not done. Centuries of living in the dark of that city scream at him to cease this, but he will not listen now, no matter how well he knows the danger of it. He is a slave no longer. ]
"You hold no power over me. We are both of us in equal standing now: forsaken."

TheĀ bestĀ revengeĀ isĀ notĀ toĀ beĀ likeĀ yourĀ enemy.
TheĀ bestĀ revengeĀ isĀ livingĀ well.
Unfortunately,Ā we'reĀ allĀ outĀ ofĀ 'bitterĀ revenge'Ā atĀ theĀ moment,Ā soĀ it'sĀ eitherĀ teaĀ orĀ nothing.
Revenge,Ā theĀ sweetestĀ morselĀ toĀ theĀ mouthĀ thatĀ everĀ wasĀ cookedĀ inĀ hell.
RevengeĀ mayĀ beĀ wicked,Ā butĀ itāsĀ natural.
TellĀ me,Ā IsĀ revengeĀ aĀ science,Ā orĀ anĀ art?
BewareĀ theĀ furyĀ ofĀ aĀ patientĀ man.
Careful,Ā [Name].Ā YouāreĀ ill-suitedĀ toĀ theĀ revengeĀ game.
RevengeĀ isĀ notĀ sweet;Ā itĀ isĀ gloomyĀ andĀ aĀ wasteĀ ofĀ time.
OurĀ soulsĀ mayĀ beĀ consumedĀ byĀ shadows,Ā butĀ thatĀ doesn'tĀ meanĀ weĀ haveĀ toĀ behaveĀ asĀ monsters.
ThereĀ isĀ noĀ suchĀ thingĀ asĀ justice,Ā allĀ theĀ bestĀ thatĀ weĀ canĀ hopeĀ forĀ isĀ revenge.
Justice,Ā likeĀ beauty,Ā isĀ inĀ theĀ eyeĀ ofĀ theĀ beholder.Ā SomeĀ seeĀ anĀ innocentĀ victim.Ā OthersĀ willĀ seeĀ evilĀ incarnateĀ gettingĀ exactlyĀ what'sĀ deserved.
ThereĀ isĀ nothingĀ wrongĀ withĀ revenge.Ā TheĀ wrongĀ hasĀ alreadyĀ beenĀ done,Ā orĀ thereĀ wouldĀ beĀ noĀ needĀ toĀ evenĀ theĀ score.

LetĀ theĀ flamesĀ begin.
IĀ sworeĀ onĀ myĀ kneesĀ atĀ theĀ altarĀ whereĀ youĀ heldĀ meĀ thatĀ IĀ wouldĀ killĀ you.Ā
IĀ willĀ hurtĀ youĀ forĀ this.Ā IĀ don'tĀ knowĀ howĀ yet,Ā butĀ giveĀ meĀ time.Ā
IĀ wantĀ toĀ commitĀ theĀ murderĀ IĀ wasĀ imprisonedĀ for.
AndĀ you,Ā youĀ betterĀ runĀ becauseĀ I'mĀ goingĀ toĀ destroyĀ youĀ forĀ whatĀ you'veĀ takenĀ fromĀ me.
IĀ willĀ writeĀ yourĀ nameĀ inĀ theĀ ruinĀ ofĀ them.Ā IĀ willĀ paintĀ youĀ acrossĀ historyĀ inĀ theĀ colorĀ ofĀ theirĀ blood.
IfĀ someoneĀ murdersĀ yourĀ child,Ā findĀ aĀ macheteĀ andĀ takeĀ hisĀ headĀ off.
RevengeĀ isĀ whatĀ IĀ want.Ā NothingĀ butĀ pureĀ unadulteratedĀ revenge.Ā
AnĀ eyeĀ forĀ anĀ eyeĀ isĀ neverĀ enough.Ā Never,Ā never,Ā never.
IĀ willĀ grindĀ yourĀ bonesĀ toĀ dust.
IfĀ youĀ haveĀ toĀ injureĀ someone,Ā thenĀ makeĀ itĀ soĀ severeĀ thatĀ hisĀ vengeanceĀ needĀ notĀ beĀ feared.
TheĀ hourĀ isĀ late,Ā andĀ theĀ timeĀ forĀ forgivenessĀ hasĀ passed.Ā ThisĀ isĀ theĀ hourĀ ofĀ blood.
IĀ willĀ beĀ everywhereĀ youĀ lookĀ butĀ nowhereĀ toĀ beĀ foundĀ andĀ thatĀ willĀ beĀ myĀ revenge.
I'mĀ goingĀ toĀ carveĀ myĀ nameĀ intoĀ hisĀ soul
YouĀ donātĀ haveĀ anyĀ reasonĀ toĀ beĀ madĀ atĀ me.Ā YouĀ stoleĀ myĀ lifeĀ andĀ IĀ stoleĀ itĀ back.

"And yet, perhaps it would be best were you to seek out that barbarian or the ranger. Such individuals should be more well-suited to provide you with a conversation more closely aligned to your own level of understanding."
"I prefer to waste neither my time nor my breath for another moment with refuting the utterly insipid utterances of the unenlightened."
And with that, he returns his attention to the heavy tome he had been studying prior to this ridiculous discussion.
āPick your battles. Pick⦠pick fewer battles than that. Put some back. Thatās too many.ā

admit it. you're in love with me.
if only i had someone to go out with...
a date would be really nice right about now.
i might reconsider if you bring me flowers.
were you being serious back there?
did you just try to impress me?
was that another joke, or were you telling the truth?
we agreed that if no one asked us, we'd go together.
keep telling yourself that!
here it comes! the big love confession i've been waiting for!
you've been in love with me since the day we met.
you visited me in my dreams last night.
i know you're in love with me. you just won't say it outloud.
we can't hide this forever.
don't make me beg.
if you weren't so cute, you'd be annoying.
you're not very good at hiding how you feel.
you've been staring at me for a long time now.
is that what you really think of me?
you have feelings for me. admit it.
so what if i've been lying this whole time? for good reason!
you don't make this whole love thing any easier.
you make life difficult.
you're a piece of work.
is that how you really feel?
you're lucky you're so cute.
you're not really going out with them, are you?
i thought we... nevermind.
consider me impressed.
am i annoying you right now?
you didn't like that comment, huh.
i was only kidding!
you wish we were kissing right now.
oh, you'd just love to hear me beg.
i love our little back and forth.
sooner or later we'll have to come clean about how we feel.
i'm not good at hiding my emotions.
when were you going to tell me you were in love with me?
i actually hate your guts.
keep talking like that and you'll see how i really feel.
can your head get any bigger?
was that a joke?
were you just playing with me?
you didn't actually mean that, right?
hang on. you didn't just say that.
that was a joke, right?
this is just how we are when we're together.
i tease you, you tease me.
you and i have always been like this.
if i'm not annoying you, what's the point?
i'm allergic to tickling.
they said we'd make a cute couple. can you believe that?
are you always this annoying?
if i kiss you, will you turn into a prince? yes, i'm implying you're a frog.
you're lucky i love you so much.
you take that back!
that was uncalled for!
this means war!
this calls for a duel!
i'm challenging you to an arm wrestle.
last one there is a rotten egg!
i'm not racing you!
stop looking at me like that.
you stare at me a lot.
i know, i know. i'm irresistable.
something on my face?
a little bird told me you're in love with me.
prove me wrong.

your teeth are bared, as they have been, your jaw aching for so long as growls slip free. you always have to defend yourself. you lash out in fear. you need someone who does not shrink back... a hand falling slowly to your shoulder, however briefly, in a reminder that you do not have to lunge. there is no danger here, now.
