"This is why I run. 

Because caring was a thing with claws.  It sank them in, and didn't let go.  Caring hurt more than a knife to the leg, more than a few broken ribs, more than anything that bled or broke and healed again.  Caring didn't break you clean.  It was a bone that didn't set, a cut that wouldn't close."

"'I'm not afraid of dying.  But I am afraid of dying here.'  She swept her hand over the room, the tavern, the city.  'I'd rather die on an adventure than live standing still."
