Because I'm up late plotting, have this playlist

Listen, I love them so much I have to share them with everyone.

“Why would you do that?” Elandra to Isa

"You're not impressed."

"I'm really not. Why would you do that? What could possibly possess you to upset both an all-knowing snake with cosmic powers and an eldritch horror? And then lead them through town?!"

"You cannot tell me you wouldn't run if they were fighting each other and chasing you. One is highly poisonous and the other all-consuming. Then both of you girls keep telling me to not look like a threat to your blood thirsty trees. This is not the place to be if you weren't born here."

"You've made valid points. But both of us are gonna have to go out there and help fix the damage once Marion calms the townspeople down."

"I'm wherever y'all need me to be."

Dialogue short:

“You wanna know somethin'? I know you don't trust me—hell I don’t trust myself. No one wants to trust the guy slamming shots in the decent hours of the morning. But I know your heritage better than I know my own.”

“’Course. Dad told me his mother found and adopted you young.”

“She found me dyin’ in a gutter. Fixed me up, paid for my living. But it was your dad who raised me. Best brother I wasn't born with. But what I’m saying is I know where your magic comes from. Underneath that curse and the abuse and struggle to survive is the same fire I saw in your dad. The same fire that he got from his dad and that family.”

“You shouldn’t be able to get drunk, but you really sound like it. What're you tryna say?”

“When that fire of yours goes out, you'll die of the cold. Stars, however, die violently. Always. That's been the trend since Asteria herself. So you better treasure that star girl while you can. Anger gets you like me. Woman like Marion ain’t gonna put up with shit she don’t deserve.”
