If you could take back one thing you said in anger, what would it be, and why?
Bollocks. What wouldn't I take back?
Never meant to be as harsh as I was, back on Muir, with any of Excalibur. Too many of those people aren't here any longer for me to apologize to.
Had me fill of apologizin' to headstones, too.
Da. Hurt him with words worse'n I ever could've with my hotknives. They'll cauterize straight away, they will. Pain's optional. Gotten so good with 'em over the years, I can just wing you, or cut out your frontal lobe, dependin' on how I flick my wrist.
Words, I always knew how t' go for the softest places. Hurts more.
"You're as crazy as crazy can be. Just like Da."
She didn't speak to me for years, after. Romany always was afraid she'd grow up just as mad as poor old Dad. Swore up one side and down the other again that it'd never happen.
I was 12 when I broke her heart the first time by comparing her to him. I've learned to bite my tongue when I'm talking to family. For the most part. Life's too bloody short, yeah?
