Tabrett Bethell: Cara Mason
Quotes
-
Cara Mason : [Sword of Truth awakens longing in Kahlan] Is something wrong?
Kahlan Amnell : [shakes her head] I miss Richard.
Cara Mason : Why?
Kahlan Amnell : [sighs, wipes off tears] Because I love him. And I'm not used to being apart from him.
Cara Mason : [frowns] It's not necessary to feel pain over his absence.
Kahlan Amnell : Don't you feel anything?
Cara Mason : Mord-Sith believe emotions must be governed. Sadness, remorse, love... These feelings make you weak. But anger, loyalty, pride... These feelings make you powerful. I can teach you how to control your emotions, if you like.
Kahlan Amnell : I'm not sure love makes a person weak, Cara.
Cara Mason : Then why are you sitting on the ground, weeping over a sword?
Kahlan Amnell : [chuckles tearfully] Thank you for your advice... but, uh, I think I'll be all right.
[smiles]

Leo : [as Cara is about to climb onto her horse] Can I give you a hand?
Cara Mason : [climbs up effortlessly, looks down at him:] You'll soon learn that it's we who are here to help you.
[coolly:]
Cara Mason : Seeker.
Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander : Trying to show chivalry to a Mord-Sith is like trying to dance with a bear. It's never gonna work, and somebody will get their head bitten off.

Leo : [Cara overhears him as he stealthily approaches] I'll take over your watch, so you can get some sleep.
Cara Mason : I'm not tired.
Leo : Considering how easy it was for me to sneak up on you just now, obviously you need some rest.
Cara Mason : It would be impossible... for you to sneak up on me.
Leo : [scoffs softly, realizes he needs different tactic, sighs, then sees horses] So, Cara...
Cara Mason : Yes... Leo?
Leo : [grins] Do you like animals?
Cara Mason : Ones that taste good.
Leo : I meant, do you like pets?
Cara Mason : I once had a dog.
Leo : [whispers conspirationally] I like dogs.
Cara Mason : [ever the realist] I trained it to attack on command.
Leo : [brought down] I could see how that could be useful. Could you train a chipmunk?
Cara Mason : [puzzled] What are you talking about?
Leo : To obey your orders. Attack people. It's probably too hard, right?
[Cara is vaguely amused]
Leo : Ah... the mighty chipmunk. Fearless, cunning, stalwart. And sworn enemy of the Mord-Sith. Not even the touch of the Agiel... can break its tiny... but heroic heart.
[Cara giggles]
Leo : So, you do have a sense of humor.
Cara Mason : You were right.
Leo : What about?
Cara Mason : [all huffy] If I'm laughing at your ridiculous jokes, I must be tired. I should get some sleep.
[goes off]
Leo : Sleep well. And don't worry... I'll protect you from the chipmunks.
[Cara smiles as she walks away]
-
Cara Mason : [as Leo practices swinging Sword of Truth about] Is the air putting up much of a fight?
Leo : [smiling, points sword at her] Well, I could use a sparring partner.
Cara Mason : Mord-Siths don't spar.
[takes out both her Agiels, smiles:]
Cara Mason : When we fight, we fight to inflict pain.
[suddenly jumps on Leo, bringing him down just in time as whirling Dacra scythes through the air]
Cara Mason : Someone just tried to kill you!
-
Kahlan Amnell : [as Cara settles in for the night] I've never heard you laugh before.
Cara Mason : [annoyed] Aren't you supposed to be asleep?
[but, thinking of Leo, smiles by herself]
