Wyn Quotes

“It made me forever grateful that he wanted to be with me, because the thought of him falling prey to anyone who would take advantage of his gentle nature made me want to murder things. All the things.”
― Lily Mayne, Wyn

“We will be tiny, wrinkly bags of bones together when we are old.” Danny grinned up at me, resting his cheek briefly on my shoulder. “Is it weird how happy that makes me?” No. It wasn’t. Because the thought of it made me disgustingly happy too.”

“I lifted my hood back over my head to cover my smile. “No, my sweet. We don’t need to thank them.”

“Our journey progressed very slowly, because Danny wanted to stop and look at everything. Absolutely everything. If I didn’t love him so much, I would have already told him—several times—that not every plant or rock or bug warranted a thorough inspection and ten questions. Is it poisonous?

“Can we draw them away somehow?” I shook my head. “They wouldn’t all leave. They would never leave the tear entirely unguarded. I could fling them all far away?” I added, eagerness bleeding into my voice. “Humans don’t tend to survive being flung great distances through the air, Wyn.”

“Didn’t you say you had an idea about how we can get past the military?” Danny asked me the next morning, as we stood and eyed the tear from a distance. I grunted. “You won’t like it.” He sighed and turned to face me. “Is it to just go and kill everyone?” I shifted from one boot to the other, arms crossed. I refused to look over at him, pretending to be very interested in what was going on around the tear—which was nothing. When he carried on waiting in silence for my answer, I gave a tiny, one-shouldered shrug.”

“Fuck them,” I replied, huffing with amusement when Danny smacked my shoulder blade from behind me on the stairs. “They’ll hear you,” he hissed. “They don’t understand English,” I told him, but that was a good point, so I said a similarly vile insult in the usho’s language, loud enough for it to travel back to the bar.”

― Lily Mayne, Wyn

“I could gently deposit them all far away,” I amended. “But it would take a while. There are a lot of them down there, and I would only be able to carry… maybe four or five at once. Any more than that is cumbersome. Humans flail a lot.”
― Lily Mayne, Wyn

“No,” I said quickly. “He’s not a pet. He’s my…” I struggled to think of the word. “My partner. He’s mine.” “Your partner?” Orlith straightened. “Your lover? You have a human lover?” “Okay, maybe we can tone down the horrified shock in our voices,” Danny grumbled, looking between me and Orlith with a frown.”
