"One day we shall be free to do as we wish, together. If it means I need to face the entire Empire, so be it."

"If not I will see about getting you out, both of you. I have stolen ships, rescued Reman, I should be able to save my deyyhan."

"I want you to be as safe as possible, e'lev. I don't expect you to love me like a god, just love me for what I am. If I need to go to Rator III to free you, then I will do so. t'Diell is safe, well...as safe as possible as things are."

"He is definitely broken, I know some people think everyone can be redeemed eventually...I don't believe that of Avox."

"Yes...I can see that concern...rumor about experiments he has done for decades are horrifying."

"Father just worries, he's a good man but still thinks I'm a little boy."

"My father will be a worried wreck if you climb too high, less it's harvest season then he will put you to work AND be a nervous wreck."

"It will be difficult, I will ache for your company but we will reunite. We have so many trees to climb, Father will drag you around and show you everything. He'll probably talk your lovely ears off."

"I know she has kept you safe here, and you miss her. If she truly wishes to be freed of your House's tyranny we can see what is possible. If she can help you free the Reman will go a very long way with us, and D'Tan."

"Yes...killing family will not be tolerated...the aunties would likely beat her into a puddle with their spoons."

"If your sister wishes I am sure she will find a home and welcome. Who knows? Perhaps she will prove herself and be adopted, and have rank as well."

"Your House does not deserve you; one day you will leave them for good and come home to me."

"When you're finally free of the s'Hei, and able to join me on our homeworld, I will be proud to have you numbered among s'Khvissa...a full member. We may be a House Minor but you will never be a slave again."

"Lucky, you know we don't believe in such things. Besides, you are handsome yourself and your wife is quite appealing, yet here you are flirting with a ship commander on the Promenade like a wanton Bajoran."

"A date? Pfft, date...you are amusing Veren, I will grant you that."

>;]

"You need to learn discipline, a bit of self control goes a long way. Are you hungry? Care to join me for dinner? I'm trying more authentic Bajoran food."

"He loved you, he would have wanted you to be happy. He would know all of us have to make choices and follow our paths. I am just glad our paths have met and we go on it together."

"The Vorta are slaves...there is no doubt, but your people have been manipulated genetically to love the Changelings, such a cruel thing. I am glad you are freer now, and my deyyhan...I want us to be happy together, under our own terms and our own way."

"Yes...that's important, I know Neetelk will be glad to hear that, e'lev. It's wrong so many are still enslaved, if we could free them all I would in a heartbeat."

"I'm sure they won't be thrilled, no one likes having their things slobbered on. You need to learn some self control, Veren."

"I know it may be a long wait, but I hope we will have plenty of time for ourselves."

"What? Nooo...geologists lick rocks but archealogists don't. Don't lick things, you'll get green eye or something! You've seen how the Bajorans are, they touch everything and everyone's holes all the time!"

"That's not how history works!"

"WHY?!?"

"You're making my brain hurt, Veren. You were in there doing work you were supposed to, then started climbing the walls and touched a teral'n...right? So why is touching it a problem if you are studying it? You...you didn't lick it, did you?"

"Would it be easier if you were locked out of the room?"

"Did you mess it up somehow? You can't wield it, you're not Debrune..."

"Letant's teral'n?" ℎ𝑒 𝑎𝑠𝑘𝑒𝑑, ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑣𝑜𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑎 𝑏𝑖𝑡 𝑠ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑛 ℎ𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑑

"Why did you touch them? You know how much they mean to them."

"How badly are they broken?"
