* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/03/14/interlude-the-rower-and-the-bartender/ To] [[Luan Khumalo|Luan]]) “No, ''no—the other way! The way you came! Right, not left! Not that right! The other right!''”

** “That’s right. Let me talk, then you get to say whatever you want. My name is Sentry Leader Ekrn, Tallguard. Not that it means anything to you—I’m a Fraerling. My job is to keep my village safe, and you’re sitting right next to it, attracting all kinds of things that want to eat you. Congratulations! You found a Fraerling Village. There’s no pot of gold. We don’t grant wishes; that’s Djinni. We won’t fix your disgusting shoes—even if you had any.”
** “We’re small, but try to hurt us, run off, or do anything stupid and we’ll kill you. Frankly, I’d have put you out of your misery already, but it’s not my choice. You are…a ''guest'' of Paeth, until we figure out if we’re going to kill you after all or let you go somehow. You are my biggest headache ever. Nice to meet you. Now you can talk.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/06/08/interlude-luan-the-giant/ To] [[Noa]]) “You started this mess. So I’ll be kitten-bait if you’re not going to be as miserable as I am.”

** “Let me put it like this, Luan. I know Level 30’s important in your world, but down here, Tallguard fight what your Gold-ranks do on a regular basis. Level 30’s the ''minimum'' for my job. Alright, let’s go.”
** “Stop making me laugh! Listen, Luan. I’ll make you a deal. The Architects will come up with something to make sure everything’s ‘safe’. But right here, right now, you make me a promise. You never tell anyone. Not your friends, not your lover. Maybe you’ll slip up. Maybe the Architects’ trick doesn’t work, but ''you'' don’t ever let trouble come here. Or else.”
** “You are the most jolly, good-natured, fairytale giant I’ve ever met.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/03/14/interlude-the-rower-and-the-bartender/ To] [[Luan Khumalo|Luan]] and [[Noa]]) “I half believe you’re joking, Luan. ''Half.'' Explain it to me. How? What? And would you ''stop screaming,'' Noa? You’re Tallguard, not some Inner! Act like it!”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/06/08/interlude-luan-the-giant/ To] [[Luan Khumalo|Luan]]) “Oh, wipe that smile off your face. ''You'' didn’t make it.”

Yes, we can trust Luan. I advise we give him all due help.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/11/14/8-51-d/ To] [[Foliana]]) “What, no plates? I thought this ‘Great Company’ was used to Fraerlings. We’re not savages. Are you?”
