Not all are still living. He smiled faintly. \"You are full of questions this afternoon.\" \"The library was a bad influence on me.\" Runach smiled briefly. \"And I believe that was three questions you asked me, which leaves me with three of my own for you to answer.\" \"That was two.\" \"I don't count very well.\" \"I think you count very well,\" she said grimly. He only smiled again. \"I'll contemplate which answers I'll have and let you know.\" Aisling thought she just might be dreading them, but couldn't bring herself to say as much. \"What was your home like?\" she asked. \"Another question.\" \"You look distracted.\" He smiled and a dimple peeked out at her from his unscarred cheek. \"You are more devious than I give you credit for being. I am keeping a tally, you know. I will expect a like number of answers from you.\" She stared at him for a moment or two. It was difficult not to, but he didnt seem to mind. \"Why?\" She asked finally. \"Beacause you are a mystery.\" \"And do you care for a mystery?\" \"I am obsessed by a good mystery,\" he said frankly. \"More than enough to pry a few answers out of you, however I am able.\" \"And what if I am not inclined to give them?\" She asked, her mouth suddenly dry. \"Then I will wonder about you silently.\" \"In truth?\" she asked, surprised. Runach smiled, looking just as surprised. \"What else would I do? Beat the answers from you?\" \"I don't know.\" She said slowly. \"I don't know what soldiers do.\" He shook his head. \"Hedge all you like, if you like.\" \"Your mother must have been a well-bred lady.\" She said, frowning. \"Why do you say that?\" \"She seems to have taught you decent manners, for your being a mere soldier.\" \"She tried,\" he agreed, looking out over the sea. Aisling turned and looked at him. \"How long ago did you lose her?\" Runach took a deep breath and dragged his hand through his hair, before he bowed his head and slid her a look. \"That answer will cost you dearly.\" Her first instinct, as always, was to say nothing. But the truth was, she lived and breathed still. She could tell him perhaps a bit about herself, without bringing the curse down upon her head. Aisling took her own deep breath. \"Very well.\" \"My mother died twenty years ago, though I vow it feels like yesterday.\" \"How did she die?\" Runach was very still. \"My father slew her and half my siblings. Time has done the rest of that terrible work I suppose. She shut her mouth, and put her hand on his arm. \"I'm sorry.\" \"I am too,\" he agreed. Runach shook his head, then reached for her hand to draw it through his arm. \"Let's walk whilst you spew out the answers you owe me. You'll be more comfortable that way, I'm sure.\" \"I'm not sure you should worry about my comfort\" Aisling managed, \"not after those questions.\" \"But I do. And now that I have bared my soul, I think you should worry about my comfort and do the same.”",

They had stood that way for a long time in front of the fire, its burning tossing ruddy chunks of light, the shadow of their bodies a single column against the rock. The minutes ticked by from the round watch in Ennis's pocket, from the sticks in the fire settling into coals. Stars bit through the wavy heat layers above the fire. Ennis's breath came slow and quiet, he hummed, rocked a little in the sparklight and Jack leaned against the steady heartbeat, the vibrations of the humming like faint electricity and, standing, he fell into sleep that was not sleep but something else drowsy and tranced until Ennis, dredging up a rusty but still useable phrase from the childhood time before his mother died, said, \"Time to hit the hay, cowboy. I got a go. Come on, you're sleepin on your feet like a horse,\" and gave Jack a shake, a push, and went off in the darkness. Jack heard his spurs tremble as he mounted, the words \"see you tomorrow,\" and the horse's shuddering snort, grind of hoof on stone. Later, that dozy embrace solidified in his memory as the single moment of artless, charmed happiness in their separate and difficult lives. Nothing marred it, even the knowledge that Ennis would not then embrace him face to face because he did not want to see nor feel that it was Jack he held. And maybe, he thought, they'd never get much farther that that. Let be, let be.”",

It was true, I did always have the camera with me. Even on quiet weekends when I came home and my father and I saw no one I would bring it, taking it with me on walks. This time I had left it behind, knowing that I would not want to document anything. “I don’t understand,” my father said. “Neither do I,” I replied. “You haven’t wanted a picture of anything in years.” “That’s not true.” “It is.” We were stating facts and at the same time arguing, an argument whose depths only he and I could fully comprehend.”",

Quirrel, full of hatred, greed, and ambition, sharing his soul with Voldemort, could not touch you for this reason. It was agony to touch a person marked by something so good.”",
