"Zofia, try to realize he loves you, he loves you far too much. Please don't take away my brother's only source of happiness. I'll explain it to him. He wouldn't mind if you aren't one of us. He'd be unconcerned about the falsehoods as well. Just don't go."
"Are you a knucklehead, Mikolas? I infiltrated General Miro's ranks, pretended to be one of your kind, took someone else's fragrance for the sole aim of seducing him; hell, I had him fall in love with me. Do you think he'd let me stay alive after knowing this? The only reason I've revealed my identity to you is that you don't feel indifferent to my kind. Please realize, Mikolas, that I, a low blood Fae, have no place among your legions. I'll never be one of you. Do you still want me to stay, now that you are well aware of everything?"
"You have never made me feel anything except love, zofie. It may have been a hoax, but I'm a darn heart render. Your agony is palpable. It's all over the place Zofia. Don't leave."
"I'm certain he'll find someone to love. Just care for him, okay?"
"For me."
