This one from the Fanatic in the WoH: The Service of the Sword. It got me pretty good tonight. Cthia's father ~ "Son, do not cater to the common belief that a person has to earn respect. That is not true. You should give every person respect right from the start. What a person has to earn is your continued respect!" |

I have one from the Havenite side of the fence. When the Havenites attack Hancock while Truman is working up the new CLACs, LACs, and MDMs and we get to meet the Peep attackers including one Oliver Diamato. The last exchange of fire mortally wounds Diamato's captain and mentor, Captain Joanne Hall. It goes something like this:
To me this was where I really started to actually care about sympathetic Havenite characters (other than the main ones) who died. And it hits closer to home because you can see the similarities between Diamato's relationship with Hall and Rafe Cardones' and/or Scotty Tremaine's relationship with Honor. *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

I agree wholeheartedly. This is a very touching passage. Went quite a ways toward emphasizing Eloise Pritchart's statement to Henke that our enemies are people too. I totally love and admire Pritchart! For some reason the song... Don't cry for me Haven err Argentina comes to mind. Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense |

I can't believe this hasn't been mentioned yet but Honor's reunion with her parents after she comes back from the dead in AoV:
Honor is usually somewhat formal with her parents and to hear her address them in such a manner really shows how strong the emotions are at that moment. Also, her reunion with Mike in the same book when she complains that everyone is walking on eggshells around her and she has to remind them that she is okay and not dead:
And Honor greeting Mike after she returns from being a POW in AAC:

Those rare moments where Honor and Michelle get serious always seem to catch me right in the ribs. Usually their relationship is banter and laughter, but then every so often we're painfully reminded of just how much these two women love each other and how much they mean to each other, and when we are... wham! Right in the heart. ~*~

From The Shadow of Saganami:
And from Mission of Honor:
I don't think the reason these quotes get me requires any explanation. ~*~

I guess I'll further indulge roseandheather's Khumalo obsession with another little moment that involves him. This takes place after Mike has destroyed Byng's ship and she is discussing the ramifications of everything that has been happening in the Quadrant since Monica. Mike apologizes to Khumalo for underestimating him and believing that the only reason he got the command was because of his political and familial connections within the High Ridge Administration.
It was nice to see that not all of the appointments that High Ridge made were disastrous. *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
