"Sssh... I know, I know that now," he soothed. "How could I not? I know you mean what you say, but your heart is not.. is not something you need waste on me. You are still that child, the one that could laugh and love and shine light on every person around you even in the midst of death and war and starvation. Every person you ever cared for was taken from you, even your people and your home-- snatched away, but what is inside of you is so strong that it must love others, it must continue to shine, and I was all that was there. You have my heart. You always shall, but I need nothing in return. Give your heart to someone who deserves it, Talia, please."
