Grayling - Saturday, June 11, 2005 - Page 459 Dragon: Faidia will no longer tolerate the careless, wasteful, elemental destruction. You have far surpassed the sacred bounds by which your behavior was defined in the founding days. By choice, the woman is Faidia's, yet you two, who hold no legitimate claim, fight over her possession. Lemanerial would...
Grayling - Wednesday, June 15, 2005 Fern: Cal.... / ....Dead... / But ...but..how...? / Lem: She must have...jumped / I thought Lem was being tactless but in the end he was right ... The guard had been distracted by the fight... and she leapt out of the window, smashig onto one of the lower roofs / It was spur of the moment-- she must...
Grayling - Monday, June 20, 2005 - Page 461 Fern: My own memory gets sketchy at this point. Cal and Lem disappeared. The carmors butchered the carcass, removing all the metal for recycling. I had to burn the rest and stay on to control the flames. It took a very long time and a lot of effort. It would have taken months for mortals. At 5 am, I...
Grayling - Thursday, June 23, 2005 - Page 462 Fern: I didn't get out of the hospital for a few more days. They kept me sedated so I wouldn't leave again. When I finally got home, I went to check on Cal in his bedroom. / Fern: Hadn't been up there in years...Smaller than I remember. / Fern: Cal? Can I come in? / Fern: Smoke told me you were here....
Grayling - Friday, June 24, 2005 - Page 463 Fern: Maybe it's presumptious of me to assume I can comfort you in any way ... But when something bothers you, it bothers me ...Asne was my friend, and I'm upset about her, but you-- / Cal: I'm not upset about Asne. I was... but she's at peace now. She regretted dying, and leaving Corwin.. but that's...
 
Grayling - Saturday, June 25, 2005 - Page 464 Cal: I feel like I should be doing something. I'm his father, his mother just died, I should be there-- But I shouldn't because I'm not mortal. I'm not entitled to care. / Cal: Are we incapable of ethical decisions, Fern? Is there nothing we can do that is ever right, because of what we are? / Fern:...
Grayling - Sunday, June 26, 2005 - Page 465 Fern: So the next day, I visited Corwin. / Corwin: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE / Fern: After what I'd said to Cal, I felt like a hypocrit- it's hard to remember your troubles watching a kid play tag with himself. / EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE / Fern: He didn't really understand about his mother....
Grayling - Monday, June 27, 2005 - Page 466 Fern: About a month after Asne died, I was helping another nilit Smoke found in the blender. / Fern: A messenger arrived. / Fern: I really wasn't alarmed at first. / Fern: Cal, Emwin writes that Corwin's missing again. / Cal: He really needs to stop wandering off. Well. the melceys will find him....
Grayling - Tuesday, June 28, 2005 - Page 467 Fern: Cal called a meeting. Elll could barely stand. I've rarely seen anyone so frightened. / Ell: I d-don't--I don't--I don't-- / Cal: What did you do? / Ell: P-please--He t-t-told me to, I had no chioce. I HAD NO CHOICE! / Cal: Who? / Ell: L-LEM! / Cal: Thank you, Ell. That's all I needed to know...
Grayling - Thursday, June 30, 2005 - Page 468 Cal: What did you tell her to do, Lem? / Lem: I'm not afraid of you. / Cal: You think I'm interested in frightening you? Why? So you'll murder more children? What did you tell her to do, Lem? / Lem: I told her... to find a Callaeriallian energy spike. Back in the old days. So that you'd kill him without...
 
Grayling - Monday, July 4, 2005 - Page 469 Cal: Did you even consider how he was as much your nephew as he was my son? / Lem: That's it? You're not going to do anything to me? / Cal: What could I do, Lem? You're my brother. / What's your standard for murder, Lem? Anyone of my blood, whom I love? / Why then, you're the last. Kill yourself, and...
Grayling - Tuesday, July 12, 2005 - Page 470 Lem: Why do you persist in this? You make everything so messy and ... complicated! / I don't want to be your brother, and you don't want to be mine. Neither of us want it, so why don't you disown me? / Cal: You learned that from our mother--that if you want anything badly enough, it becomes true. / Perhaps...
Grayling - Thursday, July 14, 2005 - Page 471 Fern: I thought he would at least give Lem a bloody nose...but something in his head had just...turned off. He gave me all the photos of Asne and Corwin he had. He was afraid he'd burn them & regret it later. / Fern: He no longer cared, so I turned Lem's pictures to the wall. / Fern: Our fuse was blown....
Grayling - Friday, July 15, 2005 - page 472 Fola: As far as I'm concerned, we shouldn't be here. / Cal: Hello. / Fola: But Ell insists she has something important to tell you and wouldn't settle for a letter. / Fola: But if you're going to mistreat her, we can just leave now and you can figure it out for yourself. / Cal: Okay. Come in. You're just...
Grayling - Sunday, July 17, 2005 - Page 473 Cal: A special day? / Ell: It... It was the day Lem found Smoke, Cal. A-and we checked... it was also the same place. / Ell: Smoke is Corwin. / Smoke: No. That isn't possible. / Fola: I can assure you, it is. I imagine your lineage combined with the impact of raw death energy served to destroy your...
 
Grayling - Monday, July 18, 2005 - Page 474 Knock, knock, knock. / Fern: Coooming. / Fern: What? Did you microwave a can of whipped cream again? Why are you on the floor? / Cal: Cal...Cal...Fern...Smoke is...Fern is...Smoke is my...Cal is you... / Fern: Smoke? / Fern: Smoke, do you know what's the matter with him? / Fern: Can I have a...
Grayling - Tuesday, July 19, 2005 - page 475 Fern: Look...guys...this just...this doesn't have to be bad, okay? Just stop a minute and think, okay? There's no hurry. / Fern: Is there any way we can prove this? Does he have a widow's peak? / Cal: Doesn't matter. Corwin didn't have one. / Fern: Well...Does he resemble Asne? I always wondered...
Grayling - Wednesday, July 20, 2005 - page 476 Cal: *shuffle* / *cough* / Fern? / Feerrrrrn. / FERN. / Smoke: Fern hasn't been here for months, Cal. / Cal: Months? But... What's the date? / Smoke: It's April 5th, 4979, Cal. You slept for nearly a year. / Cal: I didn't mean... so long... Just wanted to not think for awhile... / Smoke: You were...
Grayling - Friday, July 22, 2005 - Page 477 Cal: Are you sure? I really didn't mean to abandon you... / Smoke: I'm okay, Cal. / Cal: All right... but... We have something to talk about, don't we? We should do that. / *awkward silence* / Smoke: You have glorious bed hair. / Cal: No! You're not going to distract me! / Smoke: Call, I really think-- / Cal:...
Grayling - Monday, July 25, 2005 - Page 478 Cal: So... You want things to remain as they have been? / Smoke: Short of pretending it didn't happen, yes. / Cal: But. You were so upset when we found out, Smoke. / Smoke: That wasn't so much about you as discovering my mother was dead, Cal... and I figured you'd be angry because... I'm not your little...
 
Grayling - Tuesday, July 26, 2005 Later, at the museum / Mid: Hey, skinny. We're all set. Smoke will meet us here at this lion statue in a couple hours. / Mid: He said we should probably eat something. I recognize an order when I hear one. You willing to eat yet? / Cal: Um. I'd rather not. Can we look at some pictures first? / Mid:...
Grayling - Wednesday, July 27, 2005 - Page 480 Mid: Before I start, I just want you to know that I don't mean to yell at you, or threaten you, or hurt you in any way. I just want you to know how things are, and I don't think anyone else is really in a condition to do that anymore. I'm sorry I've stayed away for so long, but I think it's helped me....
Grayling - Thursday, July 28, 2005 - page 481 Mid: I don't expect you to be a magician. I think I used to. You made me, I had it set in my head that you could wave your hand, and make everything better... and I hated you because you wouldn't. But it's a curse only time could break, isn't it? It's a tough one. I wouldn't have gotten this far if it...
Grayling - Saturday, July 30, 2005 - Page 482 Grayling Arc 7 / Because You're Young / Morse: Eggh... / Abe: Oh good. You're awake. / Morse: Uff. Where am I..? / Abe: As you'll probably ascertain, we're in a melcey den. / Morse: Melceys... How long have I been out? / Abe: About two weeks. The first frost came, we had to find shelter. / Abe; I figured...
Grayling - Thursday, August 4, 2005 - Page 483 Morse: Okay, I've called everyone here so we can make some sort of plan. / Abe: Right now, it seems like all of the elementals were scattered after the destruction of Arduc. We need to find them before we can figure out what to do next. / Morse: We can't go vert far from the melcey colony during the...
 
Grayling - Wednesday, August 24, 2005 The next day -- a march through the cold rain. / Morse: Well, I would have liked to have waited for the coats. But we're in a hurry . . . and though they're kinda heavy . . . these fire melceys are even better than coats, really. / Funa: It was very kind of them to offer their time. / Morse: How close...
Grayling - Sunday, August 28, 2005 - Page 485 Funa: There he is. Up in that tree. / Morse: What should we do? / Funa: If we shout his name, he might fall like Fola... / Fola: Being a squirrel, he's not about to obey orders... and we haven't any peanuts. / Funa: Goddamnit, Viv. I'm not in the mood for this. / Morse: Well... theres's nothing else...
Grayling - Saturday, September 3, 2005 - Page 486 Viv: Gosh, it's good to be back with you guys. / Funa: Why? You couldn't remember us to miss us. / Viv: I didn't say I missed you. It's just good to know my place again. / Funa: .... So I think we can safely assume squirrels have no access to razors. / Viv: I look great with a beard, thank you. / Funa:...
Grayling - Monday, September 5, 2005 - Page 487 Fola: Well, we won't need the fire melceys while we're here. Could fry an egg on the ground. / Funa: It SMELLS like eggs. Rotten ones. / Fola: Something isn't right. I can smell it. / Viv: You mean he isn't here? / Fola: No... he is. / Funa: Look over there. / Funa: Is that... / Viv: Wow, I haven't...
Grayling - Tuesday, September 6, 2005 - Page 488 Fern: Ssssssssssssss... / Viv: His roar sounds like a camel, doesn't it? / Funa: Get DOWN! / Viv: I put up a water vapor screen-- he should be reluctant to leave his little circle now-- / Funa: You left Fola alone? Are you sure he's strong enough? / Viv: He's not a baby. / Funa: You haven't seen him lie...
