@saovaene liked! / merrill & faye!

"I don't know why you bother with them." It's a lie, of course — Faye knows intimately well the feel of loving and sacrificing for the sake of a family that blames you for every dark cloud, that resents and hates and sometimes - fears you. ( carver's blood still feels fresh under her nails. mother hasn't apologized for blaming her. faye doubts she will. ) But it seems clear to Hawke that she deserved the cruelty — and Merrill does not. "If they don't appreciate you, just cut them out like a tumor."
