It's poetic that this image applies to the fanbase just as much as the characters

it has maybe my favorite instance of laurent acknowledging damen’s feelings when damen himself doesn’t. damen won’t think of the man he had to kill beyond logistics, because he won’t admit to being distraught. laurent identifies that, and pushes it into the light
damen and laurent’s fireside conversation in prince’s gambit is top 3 scenes in the series for me #confession

for all i post about damen’s practicality and level headedness, i like how freely damen gives himself to emotions that he’s subconsciously categorized as virtuous. you’re allowed to (and you SHOULD) be driven by emotion, but those emotions must be sincere and honorable

“I lack,’ said Laurent, ‘the easy mannerisms that are usually shared with,’ you could see him pushing the words out, ‘a lover.’
‘You lack the easy mannerisms that are usually shared with anyone,’ said Damen.”
— Book II, XIX ½

i don't read novels by white men because i can't relate to them. i avoid novels by women too since i am a man. i dropped a book because the father of the protagonist (who shares my name) died; my father is alive. i only read novels i wrote because frankly no one knows me like me

“You’re alive,’ Damen said, and the words came out on a rush of relief that made him feel weak.
‘I’m alive,’ said Laurent. They were gazing at one another. ‘I wasn’t sure you’d come back.’
‘I came back,’ said Damen.”
— Book II, IX
