“Adron! Don’t you hurt him. (Kiara)I’m not going to hurt him, Mom. I’m going to kill him. (Young Adron)”

“I’m going to go out there and wait until you two are dressed. (Tiernan)Why don’t you keep walking until you get to the other side of the front door? (Adron)”

“C’mon, Devyn, move already. You’re like watching ice freeze. You keep this pace up and my grandkids will be able to finish the game for you. (Young Adron)Shut the fuck up, Adron, I’m thinking. (Young Devyn)Yeah, I can see the smoke coming out of your ears. What? You strip a gear or something trying to think? Want me to call Vik over to take your turn for you? (Young Adron)”

“How frail you are. I don’t want to hurt you by accident. (Nykyrian)I’m not as frail as I appear. I know from lots of experience that I bounce really well. (Kiara)I would kill anyone who hurt you. (Nykyrian)”

“So you’re a badass assassin, huh? You don’t look like much to me. (Stranger)You have three seconds to evaporate or I’m going to spray your brain matter all over your crew behind you. (Adron)”

“Tell me something, Adron. Sometime you’ve never shared with anyone else. Not even Thia. (Livia)I’m the one who glued Zarina to the toilet seat when she was seven. (Adron)”

“Depends. (Adron)On? (Livia)Whether or not they’re plotting against you. Taryn’s like a head injury. It’s only funny when it happens to someone else. And Tiernan…I think there’s now a hurricane on Chrinon VI named after him. (Adron)”
