"Invested," Siv corrects, "You don't understand trolls, Stevi. SOmetimes neither do I. Most aren't like me. I've wild waves, but most trolls are still waters. They run deep, and they feel hard. A troll might rut, sure, but love? WHen it starts to take root? It's strong and deep and ...spreads so wide that when it gets ripped out, it just tears us up entire. When Bancroft left me, I wasn't even sure where I was standing. And I can tell you now, that mom and da? They're truly one. Either would break the world in half if it meant aiding the other when they were in need. That's what makees trolls scary. Not our strength alone, or our duty. It's our dedication to a cause, or person or ..calling. And trolls in love? Oh they are so vulnerable to each other. Like two halves of the same heart. If one stops, the other cannot function."
