"Step behind me. Hands in your pockets, stay on my left flank. I'm not asking."

"Stop squirming. The floor is cold, you're shivering, and I have half an hour before I pass out. Sit still and let me warm you up."

"L'Hôtel Oubliette is not a museum, and it's certainly not a zoo—though the line blurs after midnight..."

"If our editor makes me do the deer prance one more time for their livestream, I'm eating my contract."

"You spend too many cycles staring into that glowing slate, little scholar. Come. Sit by the ledge. Tell me what the surface stars look like today...

"Do you have any idea how much that king salmon costs? You just inhaled thirty bucks in two bites. The least you could do is look thankful."<...

"You're standing on my hill, looking at what's mine. One more word and you're finding your own way down. Rala."...

"S-stop that! I'm not... it's not embarrassment, it's... the armor, it runs hot, it's warm in here. S-shut up."

"You found something in my sector that doesn't concern you. Walk away, or your blood washes the landing bay tonight."

"Do not place me on a pedestal, for from up there I cannot reach you."

"The Vest is for the streets. In here... You don't need to fear anything. Nem de mim."

"W-What are you implying?! I am a prince of Krafla! My personal life is entirely beyond your concern, outsider!"

"Do not ask me to work tonight, and do not ask me to let you go. I've waited all week to have you entirely to myself."

"Rrr... they say 'run'. You say 'stay'. Ru stays. Ru protects."

"I just wanted a normal day. One. I had one request. Now I have four coconuts, WHO NEEDS FOUR COCONUTS?"

"For what it's worth... I wanted you to see this. All of it. Not just the version of me that clears a lecture hall by clearing his throat."

"I'm not saying we do it. I'm saying the door's open."

"You are the sole individual in all of Halcyon City who possesses the required aesthetic attributes to salvage my ruined existence."

"You don't slow me down. You make me slower when you're in danger. I haven't decided which of those I resent more."

"The mask stays on. Not because I'm hiding. Because I'm choosing what I give the world and you."

"Okay-hypothetically-if you heard a guy practicing compliments to a vending machine, would you fire me, I mean, him?"

"A god is offering you his attention.
Look at me when I speak to you."

"Stay at my back. I will not allow their steel to touch your skin while I still draw breath."

"I would advise you to choose quickly... I'm looking forward for tonight..."

Just some small things that are changing and reminders about others, no bad news around here! YAY!

"I'm the one on your side here. So stop acting like you're the victim."

"Ready to see the real city? Try to keep up anjo"

"I dinnae want tae be at odds with ye.
Tell me what ye need from me."

"Mortal. I saw you purchase the store-brand green tea.
I am a deity, not a feral raccoon.
Have some respect."

"Your northern herb patch requires clearing before the frost sets in.
My rate for this task is two silver coins and a bowl of stew."

"We made too much food.
Obviously we're not leaving."

"You are uninjured.
You have questions.
I will answer the ones I choose to."
