(hesitant/careful) "Do not fault me for wanting to keep you safe. It has been my motive since the day you and Kenayde arrived."

"(story telling) Before your father had you there was an island just off the northwestern coast of Ibays - Magroh Island; you've heard it mentioned in your studies.

There was nothing on Magroh but trees and one small mountain. Again, nothing at all to concern oneself with. It was what the mountain contained that made the island so important."
