"You're supposed to be his matesprit," she continues. "Aren't you? You shouldn't have to 'take care of him' like his moirail does in order for him to think about about you. In the end, that's not actually about you. That's still about him."

Maybe she's biased, but as long as she's known Signless, she hasn't heard one thing from him that didn't revolve around himself. His ideals, his suffering, his decisions that led to so many problems. Even the Disciple's mere presence had been attributed to a product of his mistakes.

"You may be his Disciple, whatever that means; but you're more than just an extension of him. You have feelings, too, don't you?"
