"I get to keep my baby and we don't get tortured or die or anything?"

" - okay. I'm expecting that at some point the Enemy will give you orders, and at that point we're going to have a problem, but until then I have no inclination to hand Mandos anyone, orc or orf. Don't make that inconvenient, understood?"

Permalink

"- no not him -"

Permalink

"I can't get married but if I could - not him."

Permalink

"Well.
