AS SAID BY LELIANA - ROMANCE * lines taken from the leliana romance in dragon age: origins
what i'm trying to say is... is that i trust you. i'm comfortable around you. i know you'll be there when i need you.
well... aren't you sweet and attentive?
oh, the games you play.
did you know your eyelids flutter when you dream? and you have such pretty eyelashes.
listen, i want to spend the night with you. there, i said it.
where's the fun in that?
now come with me before i lose my patience.
i do not regret any of the pain, the anger, the loneliness... because it brought me to you.
i... love you. it's so wonderful to say that to someone again.
there isn't much more i can say. my feelings have been laid bare. you are... very special to me.
i'm here for you.
i might need some company... and you're not too irritating. you're welcome to come along if you like.
it is settled then. you and i... wandering the world, seeking our fortunes. i can't wait.
maybe you should let your softer side show more often.
i enjoy those nights when we stand guard together, talking to pass the time in those small hours.
sometimes following your heart, not your head, leads you to remarkable places.
i enjoy the nights at camp. the night always seems more peaceful to me. safer.
sometimes i succumb and fall asleep, and wake to find you still watchful and i know you're watching out for me.
you are our leader, and my friend, and... sometimes i think that maybe we could be more than that.
i knew this would come up sooner or later.
even in the midst of this darkness, there is hope and beauty. have faith.
no more lies between us, at least in this.
it feels good to have this off my chest. thank you for listening, and understanding.
flowers? for me? oh... they're beautiful.
thank you so much for remembering.
this story is one of my favorites, a tale of love so great and so enduring that it defies death and moves the gods to action.
sometimes i ask myself, does such a love exist? can it exist?
i never expected you to say that. it is... a pleasant surprise.
i have to say there is a certain severity to you. finding a person behind that all is nice.
i'm not embarrassed! i'm just... flushed because of the heat...
you often show signs of intelligence and you're fairly good looking... most of your facial features are in the right place.
you're already helping so much by listening to me.
people are starting to look at me strangely. we will speak of this again, i promise.
you don't know how it makes me feel to hear you say that.
now it's getting late. i think i might... turn in early.
i can't help thinking about how soft and warm my bedroll is.
you know i enjoy your company.
it would be nice if you came with me.
stop pretending you don't know what i want.
i've been up for some time, but yes, i slept very well.
i've just been watching you sleep.
knowing you will be the first thing i see when i wake gives me no small amount of comfort.
i feel safe in your arms. safe, loved, and accepted. this is where i belong.
you are my dearest friend and my love. you lit my path through darkness and i will stand with you, to whatever end.
i imagine that whatever you get up to, it'll be anything but boring.

PROMPTS THAT START WITH "PLEASE..."
"I'm not, Mark," Eve assured him almost instantly. She's seen him being knocked into dozens of buildings, but every time, it was still nerve-wracking, especially when he did not instantly get up. This floor, fortunately, was vacant from undergoing some renovations that all will need to be completely redone now that a superhero has been knocked through the walls. Eve made an internal note to revisit this place once this was resolved and offer to help in some of those renovations.
Her eyes glanced around the surrounding area, trying to get an idea of the threat level around them. Members of the former Teen Team had been right behind them and were able to neutralize the threat, mainly thanks to Robot. There was no rush at all for him to get up.
"But I gotta say...you do look a bit fucked up right now..." She admitted to him, but after saying it out loud, she realized that maybe that was not the most assuring thing to say. "But nothing I can't help with!" She could not instantly heal him, but she could at least provide some temporary solutions. "Tell me where it hurts the most, and we'll start there, alright?"
