“ The boy was the sun in Coriane’s sky. On hard days, he split the darkness. On good days, he lit the world. When Tibe went away to the front, for weeks at a time now that the war ran hot again, Cal kept her safe. ”
— Queen Song

Ptolemus, on seeing Eve’s Queenstrial outfit: Woah! Looks like someone’s dressing to impress!
Eve: I don’t dress to impress. I dress to depress.
Tolly:
Tolly:Wha-
Eve: I look so good I literally make people want to die.
Mare: Betrayed??? By someone I trusted??? It’s more likely than you’d think
Cal: Mare, your clothes are terrible.
Mare: why yes Cal, they are because of your Silver power system, which you still try to give power, so sorry if I try to put my own wellbeing and practicability above the clothes I wear. This isn’t a fucking tea party Cal, this is war, whether you choose to accept that or not-
Cal: I JUST WANTED YOU TO SAY “WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO ABOUT IT” SO I COULD TAKE YOUR CLOTHES OFF JESUS CHRIST
Kilorn, explaining what happened to Mare at the end of Glass Sword: So we didn’t save the golden chest, but the real treasure was the memories we made along the way.
Cal: I almost died!
Kilorn: That was the best part.
Evangeline: I love how we say “oh man” when something’s disappointing.
Elane:Why?
Eve: Because men are really disappointing.
Maven, to Cal: I hate you because my mother cut away any feelings of brotherly love out of my mind and heart.
Cal: Wow!!! So special!! And you know, it’s also so convinent, because I just so happen to hate you all by myself!!!!!
