Quotes[edit | edit source]
- (To Ryoka) “Miss Griffin. We’re all out picking cherries and we just heard Tyrion and company would be coming by for a visit. Why don’t you join us in harvesting, then we can all settle in. We could even make a game of it!”
- (To Tyrion) On fighting Drakes at the Bloodfields - “No offense to the main family and the Five Families and whatnot, Tyrion. I went once. Never saw the point. Lots of angry Drakes and those Gnoll people. I’d be as happy to let them stay over there. If they come north, we can rally up.”
- (To Tyrion) “…You were always like—like a Golem. ‘The good of the realm.’ ‘The duties of a [Lord].’ I hated that. Remember when we got into a fistfight? Well…I like you more, now. Selfish. It’s not selfish, man, it’s family!”
- (To Tyrion) “That’s a poor gift, Tyrion. Buscrei is asking what you can do for Ryoka.”
