Pam: Did you sleep at all?
Eric: [takes a bloody towel and wipes his bleeding nose] I'm fine.
Pam: The guards still outside?
Eric: [nods] Pam, whatever the Authority decides, I will not allow you to take any responsibility.
Pam: You didn't kill the Magister.
Eric: But politically I'm a much cleaner scapegoat. Who's easier to pin it on: a sheriff in your custody or a king that might be anywhere? If they search Russell's palace they'll find the remains of his lover.
Pam: What did he do to you?
Eric: Nothing. But he was the nearest thing to Russell Edgington's heart. He had to die.
Pam: A hundred years I've been with you. Why did you never say anything about Russell or your family?
Eric: You didn't need to know. What good would it do to share my pain with you?
Pam: You didn't need to carry it all by yourself.
Eric: I am not weak. I was a sole survivor. The burden's mine alone.
Pam: We've lived through so much for so long. It can't end this quickly...
Eric: Everything ends. Even the immortal.... If I can't go on, you must make a new vampire. It is your time to be a Maker.
