*'''[https://wanderinginn.wordpress.com/2017/05/14/2-21/ To] [[Erin Solstice|Erin]]:'''
** “I intend to go north as soon as possible. I will not stay another minute in this—this hellhole of abominations and freaks!”
** “Am I not your guest? And I am—weak. Why would you force me to work?”
** “[[Ceria Springwalker|She’s]] a freak! An untrustworthy spy and troublemaker! I insist she leave at once!”
** “Monster! You violent <em>thug! </em>Criminal! Rogue! You filthy, horrible, <em>wretched</em>—”

*([https://wanderinginn.wordpress.com/2017/05/31/2-26/ To] [[Erin Solstice|Erin]]) “I may have—that is not important! I am <em>noble!</em> I will not be sullied with a—<em>commoner’s </em>class!”

*'''[https://wanderinginn.wordpress.com/2017/07/08/2-35/ To] [[Erin Solstice|Erin]]:'''

=== [[Volume 3]] ===
* ([https://wanderinginn.wordpress.com/2017/10/14/3-23-l/ To] [[Olesm Swifttail|Olesm]]) “Please, Olesm? Please? And I need butter and vegetables—I have a list here. Oh, and let me add…”
* ([https://wanderinginn.wordpress.com/2017/10/14/3-23-l/ To] [[Pawn]]) “What do you <em>mean</em>, [[Apista|it]] looks fattening!?”
* ([https://wanderinginn.wordpress.com/2017/10/14/3-23-l/ To] [[Zel Shivertail|Zel]]) “If you’re willing…then welcome. As I said, my name is Lyonette. This is Mrsha. Welcome…to the Wandering Inn.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.wordpress.com/2017/12/26/3-42/ To herself]) “I, Lyonette du Marquin, swear on my name. I swear by my blood. Someday I will…”

=== [[Volume 4]] ===
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/02/20/4-15-l/ To] [[Erin Solstice|Erin]]) “[[Toren|He]] wasn’t <em>ever</em> good! He was always a monster! He’d push me into Shield Spider nests, make me run for miles without rest, hit me, abandon me in the middle of nowhere for hours…he was <em>your skeleton, </em>but you never controlled him! At all!”
*'''[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/02/20/4-15-l/ To] [[Ryoka Griffin|Ryoka]]:'''
** “I thought—I thought he’d kill me if I told, sometimes. Other times I didn’t care, but no one listened. Because I always complained. When he was gone…at first I was the happiest I could ever be, until I realized Erin was gone too. And then you left…”
** “I think I was happiest when Erin was gone. Really. I was. It sounds crazy, but after I started working—when I had to do everything myself, I started being happy. Because I <em>was</em> doing it all! I was actually keeping the inn running, and feeding Mrsha, and getting guests—I did it. All by myself.”
** “But I’m a failure. I never reached more than Level 5 in my [Princess] class.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/06/05/4-43/ To] [[Krshia Silverfang|Krshia]]) “I, Lyonette du Marquin do solemnly grant you, Krshia Silverfang and whatever business you pursue my royal favor, now and unto perpetuity. You who have forgiven when we did not deserve it. You, whose kin we called friend however briefly. You, who have lost much—we offer our small blessing. Let the world know you are favored and that favor grant you all the riches you wish for.”

=== [[Volume 5]] ===
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/07/21/5-03/ To] [[Bird]]) “Um, well, I’m not certain. Why not? I’m sure there are birds that go out in the rain. Actually, I lied. There are most definitely fish birds, Bird.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/07/21/5-03/ Singing]) “<em>It’s raining, it’s raining, water’s on the floor, Mrsha at the door, it’s raining, it’s raining—</em>”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/03/30/6-03/ To] [[Erin Solstice|Erin]]) “I am Lyonette du Marquin, a [Princess]. Sixth in line to the Eternal Throne of Calanfer, which isn’t actually eternal. We date about six thousand years back.”

=== [[Volume 6]] ===
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/04/16/6-08/ To] [[Zevara Sunderscale|Zevara]]) “There must be law. And that was Drake law, wasn’t it? I survived. And I got a second chance, fairly or not, thanks to Zel Shivertail. I don’t think I’ll get a third.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/06/25/6-28/ To] [[Erin Solstice|Erin]]) “I’ve never done something like that in my life. How on <em>earth</em> did you do that? You don’t have the [Tumbler] class, right?”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/07/16/6-31/ To] [[Erin Solstice|Erin]]) “We’ve got two cakes, unless Numbtongue or Mrsha’s eaten one when I haven’t been looking. And enough ice cream ingredients for eight guests. Or two Relcs. Why?”
*'''[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/08/31/interlude-two-rats/ To Gnolls]:'''
** “Don’t you dare call [[Mrsha|her]] <em>yours. </em>Or Plains Gnoll. Or think you can tell me what she is. Because she is mine! My child and I am her mother! Mine! <em>My daughter!</em>”
** “[[Mrsha|My daughter]], no matter what comes to pass. My daughter, no Gnoll’s child but <em>mine</em>. Mine, no matter your past.”
*'''[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/12/18/6-64/ To] [[Erin Solstice|Erin]]:'''
** “Because that’s not how it <em>works,</em> Erin! Do you think you can just ignore or—or fight something as big as Wistram? Do you think, really think you can be the lone, independent force that never negotiates, and gets her own way? Don’t answer! That’s exactly what you think!”
** “That’s idiotic. That’s not how the world works, Erin. You want to do that, be my guest. But if you put Mrsha in danger, I’ll have Apista sting you!”

=== [[Volume 7]] ===
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/03/01/7-11/ To] [[Erin Solstice|Erin]]) “[[Wailant Strongheart|He]] reminds me of you, a bit. A male you, Erin.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/03/21/mating-rituals-pt-2/ To] [[Erin]]) “Because I’m the mean, strict mother and person managing this inn. And you’re the <em>cool boss.</em>”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/03/31/7-16-l/ Thoughts]) But that was Erin. Normal rules were like butter to Erin. You could take it or leave it or put it on toast, but it wasn’t an impediment to her.
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/03/31/7-16-l/ To] [[Pawn]]) “Honestly, I don’t know how your class works, Pawn. It’s so—unique. Mine? I’m very glad about being a [Worldly Princess]. Otherwise, only royal acts would allow me to level. Which is why most of the royalty are under-leveled compared to everyone else. Well—we also level slower.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/06/03/7-27/ To] [[Erin]]) “That is correct in everything, but—how can you be so <em>wrong</em>, Erin?”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/06/28/7-31/ To] [[Erin]]) “It’s not our job to stop that. Let the Watch deal with it. Erin. <em>Don’t go out that door.</em>”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/09/20/7-48-k/ To] [[Bird]]) “They’re too expensive. What am I saying? <em>We are not mounting a ballista on the inn!</em>”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/10/14/7-52/ To] [[Mrsha]]) “Oh, so you believe a bit of fire more than me? How dare you, you silly little bean!”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/11/08/7-56/ To] [[Ryoka Griffin|Ryoka]]) “Why, Miss Griffin, why would I ''possibly'' have a problem with you? At all? For any reason? It must be in your imagination.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/11/11/7-57/ To] [[Serafierre val Lischelle-Drakle|Fierre]]) “[[Ryoka Griffin|She]] just ran a delivery to wake up the Archmage on that isle that killed countless people. You think she’d weigh the odds? Ryoka Griffin is insane. Erin…”
*'''[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/11/15/7-58/ To] [[Ryoka Griffin|Ryoka]]:'''
** “You do. Because, why? You have a secret weapon that trumps everything? Or because it’s ''you?'' I thought monarchs had huge egos. But Runners take everything.”
**“When we first met—truly met, not me being an ungrateful child after Erin rescued me—I liked you. I hated Erin, at the time. Remember? With Maran and Safry?”
**“Do you know how many nights she cried for you? For ''you'', the person who’d rescued her. And you were gone. I hated you for that.”
**“But then you came back. I was jealous because Mrsha loved you. She’s ''my'' daughter, you understand? I was jealous and that wasn’t fair.”
**“I wish she didn’t love you. I wish you’d never come back and she grieved and cried but ''forgot'' about you. Because someday, someone is going to have to tell her that you’re dead. It won’t be decades from now. It might not even be years. And that person will be me, or Erin.”
**“I understand. And it might be wrong. But even if—can’t you let them die? Because I don’t want ''you'' to die. Do you understand that? You’re too important to us.”
**“I could never do anything, either. I was a [Princess] without anything. I hated that. So I ran away. Now—I almost wish I was that old Lyonette. Because she was helpless. And she didn’t ''care''. She didn’t have a child and she didn’t worry every night—I could stop you.”
**“I could. I’d have Pawn and the Antinium hold you captive. But that wouldn’t change who you are. Or why Mrsha loves you. In the end—I won’t get in your way.”
**“Giving you my boon! It’s a Skill! If you’re going to—why isn’t it working? ''Please'' don’t tell me I have to kiss anywhere else. I don’t even think—what’s ''wrong?''”
*'''[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/11/25/interlude-the-tribes-of-izril/ To] [[Krshia Silverfang|Krshia]]:'''
** “If it was the choice between putting Mrsha in danger with a one in a ten ''thousand'' chance of her getting hurt and not doing it, I’d never do it, Krshia. Even if it made the Silverfang tribe the most powerful in all of Izril.”
**“Enough. Fine. You’ve made your point. That doesn’t change my opinion ''at all.''”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/12/09/7-61/ To] [[Erin Solstice|Erin]]) “Who are you? Are you ''really'' making plans? Albeit late?”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/12/23/solstice-pt-9/ To everyone]) “Erin is not this inn. She’s the heart of it. But it was never just her. Now, ''she'' needs us. More than ever. I won’t give up. I’m going…to Oteslia. To find a way to bring her back.”

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

* '''[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/01/10/8-00/ To] [[Zevara Sunderscale|Zevara]]:'''
** “She would have been upset, of course. And demanded—oh, I don’t know. ‘Days Since Dungeon Attack’, and ‘Days Since Mrsha Incident’. And that last one would ''never'' be above two, let me tell you. But Erin wouldn’t have been really offended—she knows what she does.”
**“When I was a girl, I wanted to be an adventurer. Or go on one. I had a grand dream that out there was everything I wanted. Everything I dreamed of. I suppose that’s childish to you.”
**“Today? I would have been happy to grow old without adventure. I feel old now. Somehow, I became a mother. I know I didn’t give birth to [[Mrsha/Gallery|her]], but I would never be anything else. I made great friends. I did something important, more important than my old life.”
**“And then—Erin was hurt. And it turned out everything I thought was so secure was so ''fragile.''”
* '''[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/02/14/8-07-l/ To] [[Nalthaliarstrelous]]:'''
** “—I believe you and I, and Druid Shassa, know that there was only one place they came from. And ''if'' they appeared in places other than that of Xif and Saliss’ gardens, they ''were'' stolen. I have no proof. But you were there.”
** “Perhaps so, Druid Nalthaliarstrelous. But do you deny that it is also wrong to ''steal'' and lie about the truth, even if it is obvious but without evidence?”
**“Saliss and Xif have their flowers. Oteslia can trade for them. But they will ''trade.''”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/05/04/8-21-l/ To] [[Ilvriss Gemscale|Ilvriss]]) ''“Can you imagine what Erin would do if she were [[Oteslia|here]]? She’d probably already have set loose a plague of rats in the ballroom.”''
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/06/12/8-27/ To] [[Mivifa Selifscale|Mivifa]]) “I have to go back to Liscor. I promised I would. I know a lot’s going on, but…it’s time to go.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/08/24/8-39/ To] [[Saliss Oliwing|Saliss]]) “It’s what we’re good at. Or have you never met a [Princess], Saliss? We are tools of the crown. I would have gone to another kingdom to forge an alliance. This—at least I care about this.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/09/22/8-43/ To] [[Magnolia Reinhart|Magnolia]]) “I fear…with great apologies, Lady Reinhart, I might request a different cup? Mine is rather too ''sweet'' for my liking.”
