You think I've done some awful things, and I have. But I'm not evil. It's me. You know me. I'm still the same person. I am. Everything I'm doing, it's for my family. It's to save my dad. Ezran, I know you understand. You always do.

[raayllum]

Ezran looked in her eyes. There was wisdom and understanding in Claudia’s words. He put his hand on her shoulder.

And no matter what I've done, It wouldn't matter anyway Ain't no way I'm gonna screw up Now that I know what's at stake

[raayllum]

Ezran wasn’t quite sure what to say to Claudia. He liked her, he missed her, but he didn’t really trust her anymore. [...] Ezran had never heard anyone so excited about his ability to communicate with animals. But he wanted to help Claudia because he still cared about her. He stood up and extended his hand. Claudia accepted it, and they climbed down the tower together.

But in love? Where else could you be but the belly of the beast, that oozing cavern where people go in fairytales?

Then Ezran’s eyes met Claudia’s. Her expression flickered with guilt. Now he understood what Rayla and Callum had been talking about back at the huts. Claudia and Soren weren’t their friends after all. —Book Two: Sky novelization

next gen headcanons: the royal family of katolis

It is not uncommon to see the royal family go for strolls in the garden, the king with his children on his shoulders or stooping down to chat with the ladybugs that crawl over the queen’s flowers. As mischievous as their father and almost as cunning as her mother, Princess Sarai is a force to be reckoned with. Prince Daryen is far quieter, taking after his father’s contemplative nature and his mother’s love for reading. Together, they will lead their kingdom to an even brighter future than the one King Ezran and Queen Claudia ushered in after the end of the second war.

You will always be every one of these
