*[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/07/05/7-32-d/ To] [[Erin Solstice|Erin]]:
**“This is true. However, if I was [[United Nations|them]] and I was listening to you, Erin, I would not trust you either. Because you are lying. If you are lying, how can you ask to trust someone? This makes no sense.”
**“Did you lie to Pawn or we when you taught us chess? I do not think so. If you did—we would not have liked you. Lies are like hollow bricks. You cannot build much with them. It all falls apart.”

** “I will eat. But if we all die because there was an inefficiency in my fire speed, I will be slightly upset!”
**“Yes. If it is the law and the law is right, follow the law. Otherwise it is a bad law. These are easy questions, by the way.”

*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/11/22/7-60/ To] [[Erin Solstice|Erin]]) “I am already Bird. I am so much Bird that I cannot be more Bird, Erin. Therefore, the boon has no effect. That is obvious. You must use more logic.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/11/22/7-60/ To] [[Olesm Swifttail|Olesm]]) “Foolish Olesm. Talent does not define a chess player. That is what Erin says. And I play her every day. She bets bird dishes on each game. So I must beat her.”

=== [[Volume 8]] ===

*[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/01/20/8-03/ To] [[Rose]]:
**“Feel better. Bring Erin back. These are strange things you say, Rose. I did not plan this to have any of this happen. I chose to do this because I want them dead. Not to feel better. Not to bring Miss Erin back. Your logic is faulty. Mine is simple. Hectval exists. I wish it to be gone. I will never forgive them.”
**“Miss Rose. I have killed people. I have killed monsters. I have killed birds, and rats that eat the food here. I do not feel guilty about killing things. Some things must die. Hectval is one of them. You cannot change my mind. Nothing you say can.”

**“This is an inn. This is where people come by. Did you not know that?”
**“I am naked. You have no power over me. Take this! Stab, stab—is this working?”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/06/22/8-29/ To] [[Pawn]]) “Of course. I am here to see who else will come. I know I am banned, but Klbkch is not here. So I poo on him.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/06/22/8-29/ To other Hives’ Antinium]) “Hello. I forgot to say this—I am Bird. You do not know me, I do not know you. Especially [[Xeu|you]].”

**“I have never been to the south. Yet some Gnoll has taken Mrsha. She is missing, and she is part of the inn. If Erin wakes up tomorrow—she will be sad. Lyonette will be sad, if Mrsha never comes back. I will be…sad.”
**“I have been to Pallass, you know. Someone once said Antinium would never take Pallass’ walls and I walked on them. It was okay. There were lots of bird-Wyverns, and I got into trouble. I nearly died. But that is normal.”
**“I am asking if you wish to come. But I will tell you this: if you leave, you will never come back. That is the truth.”
**“I tell you this because it is true. And I am asking because I am going, not because I want more Antinium to die with me. That is not my goal. If you were wondering.”
**“I am asking if you ''want'' to come with me. Because I ''am'' going. I must. So if you must—come. If you know you must go, even if you die, that is why you go.”
**“Mrsha is my big sister. She said that and I have no idea what it means, but it means something. I am the younger brother! Although she is sillier than even me. I ''must'' go.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/06/22/8-29/ To] [[Palt Fenrisol|Palt]]) “Be shush, silly horse-man. Do you think we don’t know that?”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/06/22/8-29/ To] [[Xeu]]) “This is Fierre, Xeu. She is Ryoka’s friend. I have no more information about her.”
* [https://wanderinginn.com/2021/06/22/8-29/ To] Mrsha Rescue Party:
**“You silly people. Did you think I did not have Skills? I learned chess from Erin. I beat Erin. I am ''Bird the Hunter.'' As Ksmvr would say—”

*([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/07/18/8-31/ To] [[Octavia Cotton|Octavia]]) “…Oh. In that case, your adventure is approved. Do we get anything out of it? Will we have to kill a Dragon? I’m told it is difficult.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/07/18/8-31/ To] [[Pivr]]) “…Then I will authorize it when I find out, and authorize it ''now'' but in the past so my authority was always there.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/08/04/8-35/ To] [[Niers Astoragon|Niers]]) “I do not know if I should tell you. You are a dangerous person. Maybe we have powers. Who knows? I am a [Liar]. Even I do not trust me.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/08/04/8-35/ Thoughts]) ''And thus, the lie is doubly a lie because I told the truth and then lied.''
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/08/04/8-35/ To] [[Numbtongue]]) “Play your guitar, that is. A [Bard] has songs. Sing songs. Make us happy or fast or something. You damn idiot.”

*([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/08/31/interlude-of-vampires-and-fraerlings/ To] [[Niers Astoragon|Niers]]) “What? No. I will not do that. That is insane. I am supposed to be the silly one. Not you. Let us return to those old roles. I liked that.”

*[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/11/17/8-52-mn/ To] [[Niers Astoragon|Niers]]:
**“I do not know if [[Erin Solstice|she]] will hate you or like you. You are everything she wants and does not want. You confusing person.”
**“Yes, but I said so. Therefore I am still in charge. So what are we doing? I will tell you if you can do this. Which is probably yes because you are smart, but I am in charge.”
* [https://wanderinginn.com/2022/01/30/8-65/ To] [[Venaz]]:
** “I am Bird, hello. You are Sir Cow. I am told this by the Dwarf to call you this. No, wait. I have gotten it wrong. It is Sea Cow or ''Sir Bull.'' I am sorry.”
** “I could play chess. It is a silly game, but I will play with you. I have beaten your teacher so I am the best chess player in the world. I have also beaten Erin.”

I did not know this, but first I had to learn to hunt big Wyvern-birds, next, I learn some can snap your bowstrings. Others flash, and some have ‘owners’ who try to stop you. Do not worry, I will rise to the challenge.”
