Princess Ceinwyn: "Do you understand that madness? (meaning love)"
Derfel:
"I do understand that you can look in someone's eyes
and suddenly know that life will be impossible without them,
and know that their voice can make your heart miss a beat,
and that their company is all your heart can ever desire,
and that their absence will leave your soul alone, bereft, and lost."
Princess Ceinwyn: "Has that every happened to you, Lord Derfel?"
"It has never happened until this moment, my Lady."
~ Derfel to Princess Ceinwyn, in The Winter King
