Bronze Gayle, Teleria

“We are, well, we were, the Ignavian. Funny thing is my people knew our world was on the path to destruction long before it had taken place, and do you know? They didn’t care. I believe I cared for perhaps ten minutes. I sat in my chair and thought about drawing up a contingency plan, but it all came to nothing. I got bored quickly and gave up the idea. Thinking can be so tedious, can’t it?”
Bronze Gayle, Teleria
“I don’t really care one way or another. I just wish to be allowed my independence and plenty of space to pursue my interests.

Bronze Gayle, Teleria
“Am I fake? If I am fake, this means I am not real. If I am not real, maybe I should be dead. If I am dead, who would miss me? Everyone who pretends to care is always drunk or out of it. So, no one would miss me. I have nothing. I am nothing. Caoimhe, did you think I was fake, too? Is that why you let the Golden Falls take you? I want to join you where ever you are. If you are in another reality, let me go there, too. You never said goodbye when you left. You were my sunshine. Did you really love me? Am I devoid of love? Did you take my heart with you so that I have none to give to another? I am a shell of a woman.”
Bronze Gayle, Teleria

Bronze Gayle, Teleria

Bronze Gayle, Teleria
“I won’t leave you. You’re a part of me, you know that. If you’re hurting, I am hurting.”
Bronze Gayle, Teleria
“Oh! A son, you have? Well, that’s a different kettle of fish entirely! Sons never know their own minds, always thinking they know better than everyone else and dashing off to make rash decisions.”
Bronze Gayle, Teleria
“A true love works both ways. Both giving of each other, both opened and willing to make it work. It is not one-sided. You will have to bend. To change. Indeed, the only constant in life is change. If you do not wish to change, you do not wish to live.”
Bronze Gayle, Teleria
