Quotes

During Ascalon Academy

Before Prince Rurik has finished his speech:

"Listen to Sir Tydus and Prince Rurik."

"The Prince is not done with you yet. Get back there."

"Where are you going? Prince Rurik is back there."

"Where's your discipline? You shouldn't just go charging ahead of your own."

After Prince Rurik finishes his speech:

"Best luck to you!"

"Do the Vanguard proud."

In Post-Searing

"A cold mug of ale sure sounds good right about now."

"Arggh, this armor chafes me so!"

"Beat it, will ya? I'm not in the mood for talking."

"Can't you see I'm busy right now?"

"Didn't your momma ever teach you not to talk to strangers?"

"Do I look like a tour guide?"

"Do you always talk to strangers?"

"Do you think this armor makes me look fat?"

"Good to see you're out doing your part. May Dwayna bless you and keep you safe."

"Killed eight Charr today. If I get three more, I beat Horace's record."

"I can still hear the screams of the dying. It's been two years, and I still can't get them out of my head."

"I found a baby devourer in my boot this morning. Good thing I always check for 'em..."

"I got a letter from my son today. That always lifts my spirits."

"I haven't been home in four months. I wonder how my family is getting on."

"I like that young Prince Rurik. He's got his head on straight, if you ask me."

"I miss the poppies. My wife always kept a vase of them on the table."

"I need a bath. I'm really starting to stink."

"I signed up for the army just two weeks before the Searing. Bad timing, I guess."

"I used to be a musician before the Searing. Played for the king a few times, even."

"I worry about my mother's welfare. If something happened to me, there'd be no one left to care for her. "

"I'm hoping to go on leave in a few days, so don't stir up any trouble."

"I'm parched. I need to go find some more water."

"I've got a hankering for some fresh meat."

"I've really have to do something about this chafing."

"It's funny the things you remember. I remember what my wife and daughter were wearing that last day..."

"Look at this place. Nothing but dirt, ruins, and skeletons."

"Lots of time out here to sit and reflect on life."

"Mind your own business."

"My brother is a Ranger. Spends his time tramping through the woods with his cat."

"Not much of a view out here, is there?"

"Oh my aching tooth. Why didn't I go see a healer before it got this bad?"

"Sure wish this rash would heal. It's awfully hard to scratch when you're wearing full armor."

"The rations out here taste like cardboard, but at least it keeps my waistline trim."

"There was never a more beautiful place than Ascalon. Hard to believe looking at this wasteland, isn't it?"

"Things have been quiet lately. Too quite, if you ask me."

"Unless you're here to relieve me, get lost. I've got work to do."

"Wallace says Devourer blood cures baldness. You reckon that's true?"

"Wallace says eating moa bird gizzards makes you virile. You ever heard that?"

"Wallace says skale saliva cures foot fungus. I think I might try it out."

"Watch out for devourers. This place is crawling with 'em."

"Watch yourself. I don't want to have to come rescue your worthless hide if you get into trouble."

"What I wouldn't give for a good night's rest in a soft bed."

"What I wouldn't give to see just one of our beautiful Ascalon sunflowers growing out of these ruins."

"You done much traveling? I've always wanted to travel."
