Briar: So I guess I was the last to know. Rosethorn: Of course you are. You're a man, aren't you?

I want to marry her, when I grow up to be a man.

free time is an illusion. It's what you get when you die and the gods reward you for a life spent working from dawn until midnight.

Your life might be easier if you were. A fool for love is happier than a Dog with a heart that's all leather.

Alanna: All I know is that I'm to jump when I'm told and I have no free time.

Once she was certain, she didn't waiver. I had to make her stop for water or a bite to eat. She obeyed, but she was restless. As clear as if she spoke to me, she was saying, Very well, I know you want to keep my strength up, but scent fades, you know!
