She could have turned away from helping me. Either of you could have. That's not a kindness someone forgets. Especially when I'm making more enemies than friends, lately.
Because you're not afraid to be bold, like some of the others. It's how we'll survive. If we're being honest ... I don't care if it was Jem's footprint, or Tiffany's, or whoever's. I'll whittle down every single one of Danny Johnson's allies until I find who helped him that night.
( hunt them ruthlessly, alicent had proposed — she's not above cornering him as he had cornered her, an animal in the steel maw of a trap. )
( the rest — it takes a moment to filter in, fingeritps twitching, thinking of the what if, what if, what if. what if it misfires, this time. what if she's spent up her one resurrection. what if she's dead before the time comes. what if even making the attempt takes more from her. )
It's complicated, but ... if I can bring Jacaerys back, I can bring Paul back. I just have to stay alive long enough to get the chance.
Funny, I was thinking the same thing about that. Seems like some of the people we thought were friends are having a moment of something else, too.
Took the words right outta my mouth. I don't care either - but the less murderers we got running around here the safer we'll all be. Let's hope it's three for three this time.
Can I ask you a personal question? This ability - was it something you could do before? Seems like it'd put a strain on anyone, especially if it's someone you care deeply about.
I'll do what I can to protect you, Alina. So will Tim.

Maybe Daemon's the one with the right idea this time. Better than waiting around to get picked off one by one. Unless he's innocent.
And if he's not? We'll nail him down, just like we are with Danny. I've got a better feeling about this go-around, and I'm not exactly an optimist.
But I am sorry about Paul. Do you think...you can bring him back, can't you?
