**“The Tribes send their own pact-warriors to Rhir. We are to be under your command, no, Commander? So has said [[Quiteil|one]] of the [Generals]. So we obey.”
**“My class is my class, Commander Cirille. It is not something the Walled Cities need to know.”
**“I am pleased my class fits so well into your military boxes of understanding.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/07/12/7-34-c/ To] Vorn) “In that case, I ask that you not sing before morning, yes? It would help for sleep.”

**“<em>No one knows where the battle takes them!</em>”
** “Some kind of humor. They do it every night. I thought it was wise to see. It is a ritual of this [[Gloomless Troupe|troupe]].”
** “That would be the Jadehammers Tribe. Them, over there. Stubborn as goats…damn. I think they heard me…”
**“Commander! It’s incredible. Either I’m a Lizard—sorry, Uxel—or some of the Gnolls have developed <em>Oldblood breath attacks.</em>”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/07/15/7-35-c/ To the officers] ) “How do [[Shel’s Cleansenborne|they]] get so <em>big,</em> though? That cannot be a Skill, yes? What, do they grow overnight if [[Blighted Queen|she]] inducts them? Like mushrooms?”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/07/19/7-36-c/ To] [[Uxel]], [[Viri]] and Paxhal) “It’s not just the cards. The lights went out four minutes ago. Did no one else…notice?”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/07/13/8-30/ To] Ikl) “Ikl, you’ll puff up if you bite [[Herthee|it]]. I once had a tongue so big I had to breathe through my nose and keep my mouth open because it wouldn’t fit. For six hours straight.”
