*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/05/24/7-24/ To a boy]) “I can’t stop you. Go ahead if you <em>really </em>think you’ll be safe. But I’m warning you: you’ll make the wind angry.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/05/24/7-24/ To] [[Lupp]]) “My [[Ivolethe|friend’s]] alive. I just need to meet her again. One more time, Lupp. For that, it’s easy to risk my life. Just not anyone else’s.”

**“Wait! If you—I won’t do anything. Just—just let me have it. Whatever you want. I deserve it.”
**“[[Valceif Godfrey|He]]—was the first Courier I really met who took the time to talk to me. He gave me good advice, taught me what it was to be a Runner. Pay it forwards. That’s why he helped me out. Because of all the favors other Runners did him.”
*[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/10/18/7-53/ To] [[Mrsha]]:

*[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/10/18/7-53/ To] [[Grimalkin]]:
**“You don’t have the best of us. You had better start asking the ''right'' questions. Or do you think we’re all the same? Some of us Humans are idiots. Or bigots. Or just plain wrong about everything, like basic mathematics and medicine. I wouldn’t trust Joseph to set a broken bone. If you’ve got who I think you have—you’ve got an idiot.”
**“Bullshit. Magnolia Reinhart has as many resources as Pallass. But she has no use for ''useless'' things. Or people.”
** “You know nothing still. Whatever you have—you just have children. Idiots who don’t know a single thing that should terrify you.”
*[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/10/20/7-54/ To] [[Erin Solstice|Erin]]:
**“[[Relc Grasstongue|He’s]]…a nice guy. Sort of an idiot, but that made two of us. I did like him.”

*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/10/20/7-54/ To herself]) ''Look at that. It’s a bike! You want to ride it!'' ''That’s so cool. I wish I had one. Aren’t you tired of being angry?''
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/10/20/7-54/ To] [[Garia Strongheart|Garia]] & [[Fals]]) “Even if it were the fastest thing in the world that everyone used, Garia—and it’s not—we’d just get [Bandits] on bicycles instead of horses. And it would look ridiculous.”
*[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/10/20/7-54/ To] [[Erin Solstice|Erin]] & Inn Earthers:
**“A while ago I wouldn’t have been. I…I’m aware of what some knowledge can do, Erin. I thought I was protecting everyone by keeping it safe. But…”
**“But these days, I have a different perspective. Back then, I trusted no one. Not even myself. Now? I’m neither the sole owner of dangerous knowledge—”
**“—or an absolute authority on morality and the future. I never was. Anyways. It’s like you said.”
**“During chess. You said people like Magnolia Reinhart have big plans that go astray. Well—I can’t see how this is going to turn out. But it’s not a bad thing, is it?”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/10/20/7-54/ To] [[Erin Solstice|Erin]]) “True. It could turn out bad. But it’s about who you trust, I guess. And you’re better than anyone else I’d trust with this.”
*[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/10/20/7-54/ To] [[Elena]]:
**“This is…batman. I don’t know if you know who that is—”
** “…Well, Elena. I was more wondering what we could do for ''you.'' Or did you want to stay in Wistram forever? Let’s talk about that.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/11/08/7-56/ To] [[Xrn]]) “Can you—can you ''stop'' giving me nightmares for five seconds, Xrn? I know what you’re fighting. I’m ''sold.'' Please—please stop convincing me.”

*[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/11/11/7-57/ To] [[Maviola El|Maviola]]:
**“I need your help, Lady El. I—I made a huge mistake. I’m not good at this. I don’t know the rules or how to put it together. Is there a ''chance'' it could work?”
**“Maviola. There are stories of the fae on my world. A world without magic. I didn’t think they existed until I met them. But I asked—and they come from the same legends I know. King Arthur of Camelot. ''A Midsummer’s Night Dream.'' The play the Players of Celum put on! They might have touched my world—or maybe the stories are so famous they leave echoes. But if you want to meet the same folk who treat with Dragons—immortals of that age—please, please. I’m begging you, please help me. I’ll do whatever it takes.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/11/11/7-57/ To] [[Erin Solstice|Erin]] (& [[Serafierre val Lischelle-Drakle|Fierre]]) ) “His family’s noble. They come from ''Noelictus.'' Hunter’s Guild, right Delanay? Used to hunt all kinds of evil stuff. Like House Byres! You know, like Ylawes and Yvlon?”
*[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/11/15/7-58/ To] [[Lyonette du Marquin|Lyonette]]:
**“No. It’s—Erin told me of what you’ve done. You deserve to call yourself [[Mrsha|her]] mother. You are, I mean.”
**“There’s evil. As clear as I’ve ever seen it. Am I supposed to walk away? If someone doesn’t fight that—they win. Why me? Because it’s happening. Everyone watches someone dying, someone doing something evil. And no one raises a hand.”
**“I felt helpless on Earth. But in this world, even without levels—I can try. I have a chance. I’ve done it before.”
**“The Ryoka Griffin who risked her life was the same one who ran to get a lost girl. I don’t want to become someone else. I’ll change everything. I’ll be a better person. But I want to be brave.”
*[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/11/15/7-58/ To] [[Erin Solstice|Erin]]:
**“Erin. I want to see Ivolethe again. Because she has something I need. The wind. I regret giving up my levels, Erin. My classes.”
**“I do. I should have become a [Runner]. Because look at you, Erin. You can do so much. If we got into a fight—you would probably win. Your inn is a fortress. You have so many Skills—I want that power.”
**“I wish I had the power to do more. Because I would. I don’t have time to wait until the winter. Not with all that will happen. I can’t. And none of that really matters. I just have to run, Erin. I ''have'' to run. Am I insane for feeling that way? Please—tell me. Maybe Lyonette’s right. Maybe I am…some vain, egotistical person who thinks the world revolves around me. Definitely. Probably. Maybe. Am I…wrong?”
**“Where could I start? You—you can do the things I talk about. You lead people. You’re not afraid to fight. You—can create miracles. Real, miracles.”
** “I’m afraid of the future, Erin. And I don’t know what to do. What do you think I should do?”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/11/18/7-59/ To] [[Maviola El|Maviola]]) “''I knew it! You were dozing on that horse! While [[Saliss Oliwing|we]] were running all damn night—''”

*[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/12/16/solstice-pt-1/ To] [[Tyrion Veltras|Tyrion]]:
**“I did. Do you want it? I gave it to Magnolia and I regret it. One more of the Five Families can’t hurt.”
**“[[Magnolia Reinhart|She’s]] manipulative, pushy, and she doesn’t show up for parties. She and I are quits. I just don’t want to kill her, that’s all.”
*[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/12/20/solstice-pt-2/ To] [[Sammial Veltras|Sammial]]:
**“You’re a [Lord]? So what? She could have bitten half your face off before Jericha or your father did a thing, or kicked your skull out of your ''skin.'' Don’t be stupid.”
**“You’re welcome. Do that again and ''I’ll'' hit you.”
**“So? I have a hand, too. Everyone does. Remember that. If you’re going to make people mad, you’d better have Jericha, at least. Now, I have to go.”
*[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/12/20/solstice-pt-2/ To] [[Sikeri’val-Toreshio-Maresssui|Sikeri]]:
**“Absolutely, Miss. However, I can’t pay the forfeit of that knowledge, I’m sure. I guess I’ll live the rest of my life not knowing ''who'' I met. Or of your august nature, milady. It’s a shame, but that’s the way life goes. I’ll take the question to my grave.”
**“Yes. I’m ''very'' tempted. But someone already offered me the same kind of deal. And I refused her first. Take it up with Belavierr the Stitch Witch. As for me—I refuse. By the right of hospitality, I ask that you leave me be!”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/12/20/solstice-pt-2/ To] [[Silver Pine]]) “Sir. Thank you. Thank you for…thank you. May I ask…?”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/12/20/solstice-pt-2/ To the] Summer Court Fea) “Er…''generous folk'', I hope this last gift will suit you well! For it is born of friendship and hard labor. A gift to match the first!”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/12/20/solstice-pt-2/ To] [[Silver Pine]]) “''When I needed you most, why didn’t you help? I can’t beat that alone! That—that snake bitch!''”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/12/23/solstice-pt-8/ To] Wyrms Sisters) “This is all true, great sisters. Greatest of the Wyrms. Er—peerless beauties with a hoard even Dragons would envy and cry in shame to behold.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/12/23/solstice-pt-8/ To] [[Ivolethe]]) “I—I—I did it for a friend. Because I really wanted to see her. Because I had to. That’s what friends ''do'', right?”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/12/23/solstice-pt-8/ To] [[Nama]]) “I did. Thank you, Nama. Ivolethe and I came back to say thank you. Truly.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/12/23/solstice-pt-8/ To] Boy Arthur) “May I have ''your'' autograph, Arthur? So I can show it to people and tell them what you wanted to do wherever I go?”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/12/23/solstice-pt-8/ To the] Court of the Fae) “Well, maybe I need ''help!'' Ivolethe is going to help me ''bring back my friend.'' My friend, who once nearly stole ''Excalibur'' from the grave of the King of Chivalry! My friend, who defends Goblins and once led an army of them! Who entertained your kin, sir! ''Erin Solstice! Remember her name!'' If you knew her, you would help too and damn the consequences!”

**“Sammial Veltras. I said, ''stop using your aura on me.''”
**“I’m giving you advice. I’m not your father, or your—guardian. I’m not Jericha or anyone else, Sammial. But I am telling you, person-to-person. You can’t do that and expect to get away with it. You understand?”
**“The strangers—they’re friends of a sort. And they couldn’t help me in the end. But they didn’t leave me with nothing. They gave me some things. And…well, they told me what I might need to do. Where I might need to go. But they gave me one more thing. Hah. Three and three again. A trinity.”

**“It’s just—not fun. That’s the problem, isn’t it? Day in, day out, having to take lessons when you ''could'' be having fun? Not…getting to enjoy yourself sometimes? Wanting—more.”
**“Do you feel better? Or do you feel bad? I bet…you don’t feel great, especially if you use your aura on them. I know, because that’s how I felt growing up a lot of the time.”
**“I remember I wanted more than just being taught lessons and someday growing up and getting a job. I wanted—well, to be special. And I was sure, deep down, I wasn’t. Not really.”
**“Nope. It’s just a trick in case you’re ''really'' angry and you have to do something. Instead of using your aura or punching someone—has anyone told you if you’re angry, you should punch a pillow?”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/05/19/8-23/ To] [[Hethon Veltras|Hethon]]) “Uh huh. You know, Hethon, you both remind me of how I was, growing up. Sammial’s me when I was really young…you remind me of when I was a bit older. You’re not angry at all? Not a little bit?”

Who can create a miracle, and maybe stop or…or unite people. I know [[Erin Solstice|who]] that is. And she’s—waiting—for me to help her. If I can, I will. And as for who I pissed off? Well. I didn’t realize it, but…I tried to steal from Ailendamus. From their vaults. ''That’s'' who I made mad. There. I said it.”
