## Quotes

* (To Erin) “We were investigating the disturbance. When you entered the Hive all flows of traffic halted, which immediately warranted our attention. I have never seen the Hive simply—stop like that before.”
* (To Belgrade) “Because it is her. Erin. Belgrade, it is not over yet.”
* (To Bishop) “Say yes, if you bear Pawn no ill will, Bishop. It is your decision. Your power. No one may force you to say yes.”
* (To Klbkch) “Can I call you ‘Father’? Or ‘Dad’?”
* (To Armored Queen) “Because it is something I wish to do. Because it will make the world a better place and it is not hard. Because I believe it is something Erin would do, if she knew to think it. And because I respected him.”
* (To Olesm) *“He may have been the enemy of the Antinium. However, he was also a hero of my home. Liscor. I would like to honor his memory, Olesm. That is why I built this. It is a small thing. But I believe it matters.”*
* (To Grand Queen) “It is not for you to tell me when to stop mourning, my Queen.”
* (To himself) “Life is worthless. Erin is dead. I—I am drunk! I will now eject the contents of my stomach!”
* To Wrymvr:
	+ “…May I call you Uncle?”
	+ “You are bad at encouragement. Erin is better. She would give me a hug and kisses and food.”
* (To ant) “You are lucky. You—ancestor of mine. For you know nothing of pain except…pain. Which doesn’t hurt as much as feelings.”
