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."

Celina

"In the splinter of an hour as your camp breaks, we will make love and weep as needs be. You choose your Llaya. I will cherish mine. We will part."

Julian:

"We all have holes in our hearts. It is the price of immortality," Julian replies.

Conner

"My interest as always, lady, is in information that has value." Conner replies easily enough. "And tales of Dragons and their children have been in demand."

Robin

"Fair enough." Robin waves back to him with a smile. After all, far be it from her to tell someone else not to poke with sticks.
