“The Order of Merciful Aid provided merciful aid, usually on the edge of a blade or the burn of a bullet.”
“There's a fine edge to new grief, it severs nerves, disconnects reality--there's mercy in a sharp blade. Only with time, as the edge wears, does the real ache begin.”
“Thanks, but that's not going to fix anything. It's like putting a Band-Aid on a bullet wound.”
“Trust me, you're not my first choice to fight next to, Sunshine, but as as much as it would simplify things, I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I left you to her tender mercies." (Seth to Keenan as he comes to his aid against Bananach)”
“My Calamity is my providence, outwardly it is fire and vengeance, but inwardly it is light and mercy. ”
“I don’t need a hearing aid—I need a listening aid. And this aid, she’d better be pleasing to look at.”
