[Zevran places his hand over hers on his face, raising an eyebrow.] And do I seem like the sort of man who cares what sort of terrible things you have done? Being alive is terrible. In order to survive, in order to do what must be done, we do the sort of things condemned by those who never have to make those choices.
Besides, when it gets right down to it? There are many times, when we have traveled, where I thought you took the more soft-hearted option. I would have been far more wretched and ruthless.
You say my wishes matter, then listen to me. Who would want a perfect lover? That would be entirely boring. I do not care for you because you are perfect, but because when I see you, you are perfect to me.
