Grayling - Wednesday, December 21, 2005 - Page 522 Rae: Don't tell me about "sick." The morning we left for the trial, he offered me his flesh. You've never done anything sick in return, okay?

Grayling - Monday, January 2, 2006 - Page 523 Morse: Huff...the snow's just getting worse. Shouldn't we have snowshoes or skis or something? / Delye: Yeah, Funa.

Grayling - Sunday, January 22, 2006 - Page 526 [Fern and Morse are riding a Cargin. Fern's in front with Morse behind, her arms around his waist.] / Fern: I know your arms are tired, but it'd be better if you held on tighter. / Morse: Oh, oh. Okay. / Fern: Don't want to fall asleep up here. We'll camp soon anyway. / Fern: I get the feeling you're...
 
Grayling - Monday, January 23, 2006 - Page 527 [[that night]] / [[Fern and Viv are draping tarps over the dragons to make sleeping quarters for the travelers]] / Fern: We need a couple more tarps up here, Viv.

Grayling - Sunday, January 29, 2006 - Page 528 [Rea is crouched atop Fola who does not look at all comfortable] / Fola: B-but thaat's ridiculous-- none of us are going to the lions, Rhodes is going to stop time- / Rae: Fola, Fola. It's a simple inquiry. You don't have to lie there s-stuttering. / [Rae backs up a bit, still on top of him, but not so...
Grayling - Monday, January 30, 2006 - Page 529 Rae: You better not be making this up just to get me off your back. / Fola: It's true!

I'm busy here! / Delye: You guys are making snow neccos, huh? / Fola: My glove's gone... / Rae: This is really bad timing, Delye. MID! Get this thing...
Grayling - Sunday, February 5, 2006 - Page 530 [[Midnight and Raenerial are talking. Delye is in the foreground, looking back at Mid and Rae as he leaves.]] / Mid: Thanks, Delye. / Rae: Mid, Fola says I'm a lion. Know what this means? / Mid: Yeah, I do.

Grayling - Monday, February 6, 2006 - Page 531 Fola: I apologize for what just occurred, I lost control completely and I-- / Viv: Fola. Stop talking. Take a few deep breaths. It wasn't your fault. / Fern: C'mon, Fola. Have something to eat. / Fern: Potatoes and salt, salt and potatoes. Such variety. / Smoke: Mid handled that well. / Fern: Yeah,...
 
Grayling - Saturday, February 25, 2006 - Page 532 [[Several days later]] / Fern: Ten minute break, everyone. / Morse: It's cold...it's gray...and it's going to last us...the rest of our lives... / Mid: Rae, cover your ears, they'll get frost-bitten. / Rae: Mmm. / Fern: Does anyone hear that rushing noise? / Mid: Yeah...sounds like water. / Funa: We can't...
Grayling - Sunday, March 5, 2006 - Page 533 Fern: I can't tell where the snow ends and the sky begins. Is that a rise? / Mid: Well, don't just wander aimlessly. Oh, great. Where's Rae? / [[Rae crunches through the snow up a rise and spots the river over on the other side, all frozen to ice except for a creek-sized trickle through the center. Stuck...
Grayling - Friday, March 10, 2006 - Page 534 Mid: Why does have to wander away like this?! / Delye: Calm down, Mid, here he comes. / Mid: Right, Rae has a swan. I wonder who it could be. / Rae: The river is over there! May was trapped in the ice! Is she hurt?! / Viv: Why do you say that? She looks fine to me. / Rae: Something could have come along...
Grayling - Sunday, March 19, 2006 - Page 535 Rae: I screwed up. / May: I know. But you won't do it again. / It's always been our responsibility to protect the secondaries. / May: The record's bad. This time, we'll follow through. / Rae: The area around Tower, May. How are we going to protect them from that? / The energy left over from my battle...
Grayling - Monday, March 20, 2006 - Page 536 Morse (Narrating): We had reached the river. The cargin left us, heading southeast along their migratory route.

Grayling - Sunday, April 9, 2006 - Page 537 Smoke: Fern, wake up. You're lying in slush. / Fern: Mmmm. / Smoke: I'll wipe your nose. / Fern: With what? Everything's soaked anyway. Find Cal yet? / Smoke: No, Fern. / Fern: Then I'm going back to sleep. / Morse: Why are the secondaries so sick? None of us feels well, but they're so...lethargic. / Rae:...
Grayling - Sunday, April 16, 2006 - Page 538 & 539 {{PAge 538}} / Morse: So, you consider that cheating, to combine one's elements with other elements? / [[thinking]] He seemed jittery, so I encouraged him to talk. / Rae: No. That happens all the time, necessarily. The elements are constantly combining with each other, so intricately and tightly they're...
Grayling - Sunday, April 23, 2006 - Page 540 Funa: Are you sure about this, Fern? We could waste a lot of time mucking around this place if he's not here, and we've already lost a set of shoes to this mud. / Fern: Believe me, he's here. If we work in groups, five of us can search while five rest. It should only take a few hours to scour this area...
Grayling - Wednesday, April 26, 2006 - Page 541 Cal: Thank you, Smoke. I'm all right, don't fret. / Cal: It's so good to see you all. / Though I certainly wish it were under better circumstances. / Cal: Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugs! / Cal: Fortunately, my house isn't far from here. / But first, where's Fern?

Grayling - Sunday, May 14, 2006 - page 544 Fern: Dirty old man. / Cal: Oh, dear. Something just occurred to me. But there's no helping it, I suppose. / Cal: Come along, everyone. My home is a short walk from here. / Cal: Step right this way. It's a good thing I just tidied up! There wouldn't have been room, otherwise. / Morse: Not enough room...
Grayling - Sunday, May 21, 2006 - Page 544 Cal: Please, Fern, don't get upset-- / Fern: Son of a bitch. You son of a bitch. / Fern: You're living inside Kezper's thought center.

Grayling - Tuesday, May 23, 2006 - Page 546 Cal: This should amuse you. Since I was a funny old homeless man, I thought that it was only appropriate that I have a large, tumultuous beard. After that, it just grew in. / Fern: That didn't strike you as strange at all? / Cal: Well, no. It was appropriate, wasn't it? / Fern: Only you, Cal. It isn't...
Grayling - Sunday, June 4, 2006 - Page 546 [[Later]] / Cal: I feel much lighter, but I'm so ... peaked. / Fern: Yeah. Back to normal. / Fern: If you can buy clothes though necco delivery, why were you wearing that disgusting rag? / Cal: Well, it's muddy out. And it's not as if I was expecting guests. / Fern: Oh. Huh. I'm probably stupid from...
Grayling - Saturday, June 17, 2006 - Page 548 Cal: Fern, you're too tired to realize you no longer have to converse. It's time for quiet. / Fern: Oh. Yeah, I s'pose you're right. Sorry. Sleep would be good. / Cal: Yes. Go to sleep. / [[The next morning.]] / Cal: Twenty, thirty... and that's it for my shoestring budget. / Viv: How much will that...
 
Grayling - Tuesday, June 27, 2006 - Page 548 Fern: There isn't even any coffe. I don't hear anyone else up. Why do I have to be awake? / Smoke: You always regret sleeping the day away. / Fern: ...So? / Viv: So if everything goes according to plan, we're staying here awhile? / Cal: About a fortnight. We'll rest and get ready for the last leg. / Fern:...
Grayling - Sunday, July 16, 2006 - Page 549 Mid: Rae, what is this? / Cal just handed it to me with a bag. / Rae: This is a digging stick. Because we ate everything, you have to dig up some roots if you want to eat tonight. Poke around in the dirt with it. / Mid: Huh. You seem to have grown up a lot, Rae. You all about these survival things. / Rae:...
Grayling - Saturday, July 22, 2006 - Page 550 Fern: All right. Is this about work, or is it interpersonal? / I've had enough of this with Rae. / Cal: Interpersonal. / Fern: Look, Cal. We get along really well when we don't talk about our. Thing. I hate talking about myself and you hate talking about yourself. There's no use in it, so let's just...not. / Cal:...
Grayling - Saturday, July 29, 2006 - Page 551 Fern: You know what's right? That alone is heroic. / Cal: Don't give me any credit. It's all Smoke's doing. / I promised him I would ask you a question, not that anything would actually turn out well. / Fern: All right, all right. I shouldn't have underestimated your ability to drive fine-print familial...
Grayling - Wednesday, August 9, 2006 - Page 553 Fern: What's the point--? / Cal: Please don't scoff. I need a serious answer. / Fern: Mm... / Fern: Knowing what I know now, I'd have to be an idiot not to consent. Rationally, it's like asking whether or not you'd stick your hand in a meat grinder. The answer is obvious. But... / Cal: But? / Fern:...
