Athos: I am your father

Lyn: is that so?

Athos: follow me, go to the dark side!

Lyn: no

Athos: Then, Nils, your younger brother will!

Lyn: ..... Ninian's room is in 2nd floor

Athos: WTH!

You should have seen how wisely Athos proceeded --with what caution --with what foresight --with what dissimulation he went to work! He was never kinder to the Lyn than during the whole week before he killed her. And every night, about midnight, he turned the latch of her door and opened it --oh so gently! And then, when he had made an opening sufficient for his head, he put in a dark lantern, all closed, closed, that no light shone out, and then he thrust in his head. Oh, you would have laughed to see how cunningly he thrust it in! The old man moved it slowly --very, very slowly, so that he might not disturb the young woman's sleep. It took him an hour to place his whole head within the opening so far that he could see her as she lay upon his bed. Ha! would a madman have been so wise as this, And then, when his head was well in the room, he undid the lantern cautiously-oh, so cautiously --cautiously (for the hinges creaked) --he undid it just so much that a single thin ray fell upon the vulture eye. And this he did for seven long nights --every night just at midnight --but he found the eye always closed; and so it was impossible to do the work; for it was not the young woman who vexed him, but her Evil Eye.
