goblins

The goblins have been after me ever since I helped the Coven drive them out of Essex. (They were gobbling up drunk people in club bathrooms, and the Mage was worried about losing regional slang.) I think the goblin who successfully offs me gets to be king.

Everyone knew you shouldn't go biting into fruit offered to you by magical creatures in the woods, even if you'd thought until just five minutes ago that such stories were, you know, only stories.

You will come to the woods and choose your mate.

Ames clucked his tongue, __ou know, not all of us are so evil minded. You__e just met the wrong ones._ He meant guys. __ou__e all the same._ I should know.__ot all of us,_ he said too soft but I heard. __ut judgment before proven can eat one up with anger. Sometimes you just have to take a chance. Trust someone.

We are not like you. We do not glory in having power over our own kind." Haghuf turned to walk away. Then as an afterthought added over his shoulder, "Or imagining that we do.

I don't need a man to be happy.

I hate goblins.

Morning and eveningMaids heard the goblins cry:'Come buy our orchard fruits,Come buy, come buy

A wanton women is ripened fruit,' Constanze intoned,'begging to be plucked by the Goblin King.

Goblin tea resembles a nice cup of Earl Grey in much the same way that a catfish resembles the common tabby. They share a name, but one is a nice thing to curl up with on a rainy afternoon, and the other is found in the muck at the bottom of polluted rivers and has bits of debris sticking to it.

Those same women tell me I am too short to be beautiful,_ I traced my hands across my breasts, __hey say my breasts are too large,_ I traced down my waist to my hips, __hat I curve in places they do not,_ I traced down my thighs. Sidhe women don__ have thighs. I let my hair fall across my face as I moved, so that my eyes gazed at him half hidden behind the scarlet of my hair. __hey tell me I am ugly.__e spilled out of his chair, dumping his queen to the floor. He roared, __ho says these things? I will crush their jaws and see them choke on their own lies!__he outrage on his face, the trembling rage of him__ took it for the compliment it was. I realized in that moment that Kurag might want me for more than just politics or supernatural bloodlines. In that heartbeat, I thought that maybe, just maybe, the Goblin King loved me, in an odd sort of way. I had expected many things today, but not love.I don__ know why, but I suddenly realized there were tears trailing down my face. Crying because some goblin had offered to defend my honor? I gazed up at Kurag, and I let him see what was in my face, my eyes, all of it. Because I realized that I still didn__ believe I was beautiful. The guards wanted me because to be without me was to be celibate. They pursued me so they might be king. None of them wanted me, for me. Maybe that was unfair, but how would I ever know why they came to my bed? I looked at Kurag and knew that here was a man who__ known me since I was a child, and he thought I was beautiful, and worth defending, and he would never bed me, never be my king. Knowing that anyone adored me, just for me, meant something. Something I had no words for, but I let Kurag see that I valued it. That I valued him, and how he felt about me.

Isaac stopped her at the bottom of the stairs with a crooked smile. "I would wish you sweet dreams, but how can they be memorable if I won't be in them?

It's Halloween,The night we all play,Trick or treat,We won't go away.Be we ghoul or goblin, ghost,We'll knock on your door,To see who scares you the most.But cringe not in fear,Or cry out in pain,Cause it's only a game,Oh, what a shame.But don't despair,In the cold night air,Because we'll be back,And then you'll be scared!But not just one,Or even two.And so we bid you,A sweet adieu.

You don't pity a warrior for her scars, because scars are proof of survival and victory.

Looking out the window, Moist saw a small swarm of goblins leave the train and at first he thought, ha! Trust the buggers to run away, and then he mentally corrected himself: that was storybook thinking and with clearer eyesight and a bit of understanding he realized that the goblins were scrambling up to the delvers on the rocks and beating the shit out of them by diving into the multiple layers of dwarf clothing. The delvers discovered all too rapidly that trying to fight while a busy goblin was in your underwear was very bad for the concentration.

Inviting a goblin to cross your threshold was a recipe for disaster, and certainly worse than doing the same with a vampire. With the latter all you got was a nasty bite, but the company, the extraordinarily good sex and the funny stories more than made up for it__pparently.

Patience will be on our side._ __ once heard that patience is a vulture in wait to take out its prey when all seems safe.

My friend Wicker once said to be careful what and how you say what you__e really thinking to a woman. After much screwing up in that department with Emma, I__e learned it__ not what you should hide, but what you say that makes her react the way she does. If I am unable to make myself clear, as I so often do, it__ more likely going to go to pot if I try to explain how I really feel. Instead, I rework in my brain what she needs to hear. I don__ always nail it, but I__ getting better at it. And it__ always the truth even if it isn__ how I see it.Is it deceiving? No. It__ being considerate and aware that she is an emotional creature, and that for some crazy reason, craves my attention. I love to make her happy. My jumbled up mess of a mind isn__ important in the long run if it just confuses her. So I chose words carefully. When something goes right, I use it over and over again. -Ames
