Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I have a cave to clear of ogres.

They have a cave troll?

ND, you said Cygnus--is that Merchanter's Luck? If not, there's Cygnet--Le Cygne. Lucy, Dublin Again, Slanderscree, Norway.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

They have a cave troll?

Them too.

Happy Birthday Daisy Jane!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Speaking of ships here on Earth - the British have the coolest names. Like Indefatigable and Indomitable and Dreadnought. The Japanese have the oddest names (by Western standards, anyway): Hiryu ("Flying Dragon"), Soryu ("Green Dragon") and Zuikaku ("Fortunate Crane").

The Turks have/had a submarine named after my pirate ancestor the "Murat Reis." I wonder if the sub crew occasionally considered living up to their namesake.
