** “As Individual Pawn, given command of this unit of Soldiers, I, with the authority of my Hive, promote you. You are no longer a [Soldier]. You are a [Sergeant].”

* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/10/06/5-26-l/ To] his Unit) “So [[Erin Solstice|she]] is not a friend. She must be more. And I have no friends within the Hive. Workers, Individuals such as Anand and Belgrade, Soldiers…we cannot be called friends. We find friends. But we have ever been family.”

I believe in gods. <em>I believe in gods.</em> But when you tell me you are a simple [Barmaid], I cannot believe in that.”

*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/03/31/7-16-l/ To] [[Klbkch]]) “I know. But I will not go. You are wrong. And I—will not run when I am right. Some things are worth dying for.”

**“Perhaps, then, you must believe there is goodness there. And try.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/12/13/7-62/ To] [[Belgrade]]) “[[Erin Solstice|She]] is alive. She is alive. She is dead. She is neither. They killed her, Belgrade. ''They. kILLeD hEr.''”

=== [[Volume 8]] ===
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/01/13/8-01/ To] [[Dekass]]) “I achieved my level and class because I knew Erin Solstice. I ‘achieved’ the ability to summon Aberrations because she died.”

*[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/01/13/8-01/ To] [[Dekass]]:
**“I do. My heart tells me ‘yes’. My soul desires this. It is what we must be. It may be necessary. However. Something holds me back.”
** “Erin Solstice. If she were here, I believe she would stop me. I do not know if Lyonette would. But I think Erin would.”
** “She is not here. I do not know. ''But I know.'' But we must be this, Erin. Yes. And no. It is only that, Dekass. Only a certainty.”
** “I think if she saw this, she would weep. I think she would cry for what it means. What we become. But she is not. And I cannot ask her what she would say. So I follow my own words. And they say this: ''rise, Green Baron. The rest of you.'' I will let you choose.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/01/13/8-01/ To] Free Antinium [Crusaders]) “You are not Armored Antinium. You are not mere Soldiers or Workers. Each of you who chooses this—you will leave your Hive. You will march under sky and star. None of you may return. I pray you all will. But you will go to fight our enemies, risking your lives so that more might survive. You are more than any Antinium that have ever come before.”
*[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/05/02/8-20/ To Antinium congregation]:
**“Their names were Knight and Bishop. They chose them, as I did, in moments. You have never met them, most of you. They had no markings we could paint on the walls. So: remember their names. They were the first of us. They will not be the last. Nor will they be forgotten. They are in a better place. The best place. Believe in that. What we do matters.”
**“If they fall, if they die—let the Heaven of Antinium hold a place for the Horns of Hammerad. Whenever that day comes, now, or in a hundred years. For our friends, for good people. For little kittens and dogs and ''kind things''—Heaven is not so petty they would not be with us. Let us pray.”
*[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/06/12/8-27/ To] [[Mrsha]]:
**“I did not come by, except to visit Erin, because I felt that Lyonette’s request might be problematic. You—do not like me much, do you, Mrsha?”
**“It is just as well, I suppose, that you do not like me, Mrsha. After all. I never liked you much either.”
**“I suppose it is not fair, Mrsha. I am being unreasonable. It is just…when you came to the inn, Erin had less time for me. I know it was necessary, but I resented that, though I never told her. You see, I was Mrsha before Mrsha. You took my place.”
**“Thank you, Mrsha. I miss [[Lyonette du Marquin|her]]. That is all. And I will not take up your time or bother you. We do not have to like each other, Mrsha. However, if you need help, I will give it. I know you are safe here, but if you need me—ask. And I will do what I can.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/06/12/8-27/ To] [[Rufelt Owelt|Rufelt]]) “Because I must. To be Antinium is to know your kind dying each day. Less now, than before. But they die. I mourn them all, Rufelt. But I must continue even if I bleed. To make things better for the living—and the dead. I know terrible pain, and I may know worse still, though I cannot believe it. I continue because I believe it will end someday.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/06/19/8-28/ To] [[Mrsha]]) “Strange. Is [[Belavierr|she]] some kind of clothing-mage?”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/11/03/interlude-conversations/ To] [[Seborn Sailwinds|Seborn]]) “Then perhaps you are looking for something else. If you wish to watch…we are going to visit [[Erin Solstice|her]].”
