Robin: "Chameleon," she wrinkles her nose at him with a chuckle, but her sparkling eyes do take in a lot of sky and sea as she seats herself in the boat.

Vere: "Indeed," he acknowledges as he pushes the boat off the beach, then springs into it and takes the oars. "It is a valuable ability. I must trust to you to know the true me, for sometimes I myself am not so certain."

Robin: Chirping cheerfully, she continues as they stroll down to the boat,"That went well, I think. No blood, no screaming. A reasonable amount of threats."

Signy: "So, if I wanted to find out more about my mother, who should I talk to?"

Brennan: "Aside from the obvious answers of 'your brother,' and 'your father?'" Brennan
says. "I'd say your best bets are her brother Corwin for the idealized version."

"I think we exist outside what so many cultures believe as lifecycles, living so far beyond, but I'd like to think that motherhood is a new beginning for me."

Random and Folly, 6/16/07

"Always ask for a pony, when someone says 'what do you want?'"

"And ice cream. One can rarely go wrong with a pony and ice cream." Folly grins.

"A pony made of ice cream..."

"...but NOT ice cream made of ponies."

"You, Mother Alabaster, tell me that you have to fight to defend yourselves from being burned at the stake. (Which by the way, is a pretty decent answer to the 'what matters more than your Goddess' will' question.) But a fleet of sixty warships and a dungeon full of torture implements don't strike me [as] self-defense measures. "And while I don't know your people, Seeress, well enough to throw the bull-shit flag yet, finding two of them twiddling their thumbs and whistling innocently next to the smoking cannon that killed a friend and maimed my brother... doesn't incline me toward total sympathy with your position at this time."

Vere 5/25/07

"When one has come into one's inheritance, and learns that one must take great care to not inadvertently tear asunder the very fabric of the world, one comes to place more value on truth and understanding, and less on what one might be called."
