Myles: Good work.
Alanna: Thanks Dad.
Myles: …
Alanna: Why is everyone staring at me?
Gary: You just called Myles ‘Dad’. You said ‘Thanks, Dad’.
Alanna: What? No, I didn’t. I said ‘Thanks, man.’
Myles: Do you see me as a father figure, Alan?
Alanna: No, if anything I see you as a bother figure, ‘cause you’re always bothering me!
Raoul: Hey! Show your father some respect!

WE HAVE LARK/ROSETHORN BACKSTORY
I REPEAT
WE HAVE LARK/ROSETHORN BACKSTORY
Daine being sent away on missions
Daine: “K, but I’m probably going to destroy an entire castle because of who I am as a person.”
Alanna: You need them to think you’re stronger than you actually are.
Neal: That’s what you do.
Alanna: Me? Oh no. My power is no illusion. I can fucking demolish you.
Aly: My point is that I am going to figure this out, like I always do. First, we’re going to find a way to get into the Gray Palace. We’re going to overthrow the regents, and by the stars above, we are going to make Dove a queen so she can pay us a lot of money from her royal coffers and we can all retire very rich and very alive, got it?
Chenaol: Brilliant speech. Such gumption and bravado!
Ochobu: And yet strangely lacking in any sort of actual strategy.
Ulasim: Oh, good, I’m glad you noticed that too.
I just imagine how Jon and Thayet’s intelligence briefings must have gone during the Immortals series.
“The girl you met last week just called a Kraken up from the depths to attack enemy ships. Oh, and she has a dragon now.”
“So the wildmage and Salmalin went to visit a local noble, and they think some wolves have uncovered a plot to usurp the throne. And, uh, I’m not sure how to say this, sire, but she can apparently turn into animals???”
“You know how much you hate Stormwings? And Emperor Ozorne? Well, funny thing about that, Your Majesties….”
(Basically, Daine is amazing)
Master and student
Alright gang. I’ll ignore that some of you are late if you ignore that I’m the latest.
Kel is unique. Government work can beat you down. I would say I lost my optimism about government in about two months – Kel’s kept hers for six years.
Let me show you how a real man handles his business. Alanna, go get him.
