* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/04/10/4-27-h/ To] [[Selys Shivertail|Selys]]) “But that makes no sense. I object most strongly to this rule. Are you implying that my corpse has no tactical value in combat?”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/04/10/4-27-h/ To] [[Selys Shivertail|Selys]]) “I can assure you that my deceased form is quite operable in many situations so long as it has not been dissected, disintegrated, incinerated, consumed, possessed, liquefied, or—”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/06/02/4-41-l/ To] [[Yellow Splatters]]) “I am a former Prognugator of the Hive. That gives me no authority.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/06/02/4-41-l/ To] [[Yellow Splatters]]) “No authority. At all. But I am led to understand that this sword gives me all the authority I need. Move and I will injure you non-lethally but in a very painful way.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/05/19/4-37-o/ To the others]) “I thought I was predator. Am I prey? Why did they attempt to eat me? Have I fallen so far down as to be food for food?”

[[Ceria Springwalker|So]] [[Dawil Ironbreaker|was]] [[Falene Skystrall|everyone]] [[Yvlon Byres|else]]. May I ask what the issue is? Is he horribly disfigured or is this a mark of some kind of sexual attractiveness I am not aware of?”

* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/05/21/6-18-h/ To] Celum's Watch Captain) “No. I completely understand the concept of arrest, Watch Captain. And I do not believe I will be arrested. I, personally, have done nothing wrong. And if you try to arrest me, sir, I will have to kill you.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/05/25/6-19-h/ To] Mister Fairday) “You are a simple creature. I envy you your guiltless life. Until you break a bone or grow too old and are no doubt slaughtered for food or parts. But then, so are the Antinium. We are much alike, you and I.”

* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/08/20/6-39/ To] [[Horns of Hammerad|Horns]]) “I am unable to harm Grimalkin. Switching to Flamespread Dagger and arrow. Fleeing in cowardice!”

* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/09/09/7-45/ To] [[Horns of Hammerad|teammates]]) “I have never had a family. I was created to lead Antinium and replace Prognugator Klbkch.

*[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/04/28/8-19-h/ To] [[Yvlon Byres|Yvlon]]:
**“Are you Yvlon or a trick? Please do not be a trick. I have had a bad day.”

* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/04/28/8-19-h/ To] [[Tolveilouka Ve’delina Mer|Tolveilouka]]) “Stop. I did it. I slew the Putrid One. I made him suffer as he died twice. He screamed, pitifully. Stop. ''Stop.'' Why do you not touch me?”

*([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/06/02/8-25-kh/ To himself]) “Don’t mess with me. I’m crazy. I’ve eaten more [Bandits] than peas on this plate. I could kill you all with a fork. You shouldn’t have given it to me. Now I’m armed. Ice magic. I eat bugs.”
*[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/06/02/8-25-kh/ To] Yinah:
**“Are you a prisoner of the Magus-Crafter too? Wait, that would make you a ‘pet’. You are half-Golem. I commend your upgrade.”
**“Pat, pat. You are a cat. Also known as a kitty, or kitten, or feline. I am Ksmvr. Pat, pat.”
**''“Pat, pat.'' Little cat, you are not a good enough victim. Yinah? Can you look more scared? What is wrong?''”''
**“No, do not do that. Here. I shall offer you—''multi-sided pats.'' Like so. Pat, pat—”

**“I greet you, Empress of Beasts. I also possess no oasis, but I would offer you the bounty of my personal tree. If we were close to it. I also thank you for saving my life.”
**“Rumors about the Antinium have as much validity as other species. I have observed that Humans cannot spit blood unless stabbed in the mouth, Drakes are not always greedy—although some can be, and so on. I would hope you would regard me as a Gold-rank adventurer first, Antinium second, Empress Nsiia of Tiqr.”
**“I do not understand. Why does Yinah the cat not prefer me? Is it because she is speciesist? Racism in animals is a terrible thing.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/06/02/8-25-kh/ To] [[Femithain]]) “I claimed that the Hives would go to war for me, but I must tell you, Magus-Crafter, that I exaggerated the truth. I do not believe—did not believe—I was of any worth to my Hive. Or the Antinium.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/08/17/8-37-h/ To] [[Nsiia Oliphant|Nsiia]]) “You are right, Empress of Beasts. I am sorry. Or I would be, if I treated this as an admission of guilt or failed desire. But I do not. ''My team needs me.'' I am thankful you teach me about animals and spar with me. Yet I will not jeopardize my chances of helping them.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/08/17/8-37-h/ To] [[Nsiia Oliphant|Nsiia]] & [[Femithain]]) “…As I do not have a logical statement I can refute you with, I shall accompany you to dinner. I am doing it unhappily, though. Not because I dislike food, but because I have been bested in verbal discourse. Most vexing.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/08/17/8-37-h/ To] [[Nsiia Oliphant|Nsiia]]) “I did not mean to intrude, Empress Nsiia, or witness your grief. I would blame Yinah, but she is a cat.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/08/17/8-37-h/ To] [[Oracle of Elbe]]) “Also, if you attempt to deny or even tell the truth regarding my actions here, no one will believe you given your reputation as a liar. So, by attempting to disparage me to the First Crafter of Elbe or those who follow after, you only help me no matter what you say, if only nothing.”
*[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/08/17/8-37-h/ To] [[Domehead]]:
**“You are called Domehead. Do you know me? We fought once. A regrettable accident.”
**“Someone rebuilt you. You have someone who will wait for you. Your…team.”
**“''Do not force me to destroy you.''”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/08/17/8-37-h/ To] [[Femithain]]) “You are trying to hold me against my will, Femithain? ''Then I will defend myself.'' I do not wish to. I am stating here, for the record, with you all as witnesses, that ''when I slaughtered you, I gave you full warning.''”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/08/17/8-37-h/ To] [[Dellic]]) “''War, Armsmaster? You cannot survive my war.''”
*[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/08/17/8-37-h/ To] [[Nsiia Oliphant|Nsiia]]:
**“I thought of my friend, Pisces, wearing chains. I found it abhorrent and applied the same logic to you.”
**“You are not a terrible friend, Nsiia. Come, come. And hurry up. Not a horrible ruler. Just a bad mother.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/10/19/8-47-h/ To] [[Nsiia Oliphant|Nsiia]]) “I am sneering. I cannot sniff, but you may assume I am now sniffing. Sniff. I must inform you, Empress Nsiia, that I am already de facto a land-owner. I own two trees. You cannot sway me with what I already possess.”
*[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/10/24/8-48-h/ To] Hscel:
**“That looks quite appropriate. I told her I was not fit for the blade. No, Hscel Scarless. I am an adventurer. As are you. I do not kill fellow adventurers or innocent people.”
**“…Unless they attack me first or really get on my nerves. But I will be content to rob you of your blades. I have learned something.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/12/22/8-59-h/ To] [[Shurein]]) “Excuse me. Abbot Shurein? I am Ksmvr, Gold-rank Adventurer and friendly Antinium. I am very pleased to make your acquaintance. As a conversational topic to begin with, I have an [[Ryoka Griffin|acquaintance]] who also runs about with bare feet. Hello.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2022/05/03/8-85/ To] [[Yvlon Byres|Yvlon]] and [[Ysara Byres|Ysara]]) “Is this your sister, Ysara? Hello, I am a landowner from your estates. I own two trees—”

=== [[Volume 9]] ===

* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2022/07/19/9-08/ To everyone]) “Anger! I am so angry! ''Aaaah! I am screaming for psychological effect!''”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2022/10/12/9-20/ To] [[Femithain]]) “Oh, hello Magus-Crafter Femithain. You were a very wonderful host. I regret that someone ''accidentally'' freed Nsiia. Yes. Have you seen Yinah or Spitty? Or Nsiia? She stole my sword.”
