"Speaking from your heart? If that means nitpicking words in an attempt to twist them, then your heart is pretty messed up, Shaman. If anything, you do seem to be approaching your words from a rational emotionless perspective, if a twisted rationality. I have seen no sign of your 'from the heart' emotional intensity, unless you count the frustration with yourself that you have displaced onto me."
"My mistress, sometimes too much for her credit, is big on mercy and second chances, but only for the penitant. You would do well to admit your lies and contradictions and amend them, rather than continuing to dig yourself deeper with hollow arguments. You blame the Taint, and perhaps it is the Taint that makes you speak so. If so, do not let it become you, Shaman--do not let this become you. If you do, then Chuliit has already lost."
