William Kely McClung
“She smiled again and the sun came back out. Raced backward up from the sea and lit her face. He told himself to ignore it. It wasn’t that special. Not really. He couldn’t be sure, but if his display of ignorance could make her do it again, it might be worth checking out.”
William Kely McClung, Black Fire

Fuyumi Soryo
“For someone so violent, he has a gentle face, doesn't he?”
Fuyumi Soryo (惣領 冬実)
