Avos: “Excuse me! We’re looking for a certain groom-to-be!”

Meric: “Nooo, Avo! We lookin’ for daddy.”

Avos: “Oh you’re right of course, Merry. Are there any fathers in the near vicinity? Any green ones, specifically?”

Meric: “There!”

Orin: “There’s my favourite boys, and my favourite... human. Up you go Meric.” 

Avos: “So, you’re ready for your big day? I see the hat is back?”

Orin: “Just for now, cuz’ the sun is back up, you know?”

Avos: “Something old... something new... “

Avos: “Well your house, I guess, though you won’t really be wearing that...”

Avos: “And for something borrowed and something blue. Perhaps you should hold Ollie for a bit during the ceremony.”

Orin: “Wouldn’t you like that, huh? ‘Sides, that rhyme is for the brides, not the grooms.”

Bark: A baby is nothing like a leaf, it cries, and it poops and it can’t do any work.

Bark: But they grow tall as little persons, and learn to speak. They look just like the ones who grew them.

Elios: “You don’t. I’ve got more than enough energy, Avos. The blue will be gone again in the morning, It’s just because it’s late. But when I rest-”

Avos: “If you rest, more like.”

Elios: “Don’t patronise me like that! I know my personal limits. You’re being overprotective. You have a son to practice that on. Meric, even, if Cain would let you. You don’t have to use me for that. 

Avos: “I don’t want you to find you on the ground paralysed somewhere one of these days, Eli. I don’t think I could handle that.”

Elios: “Oh Avos, good evening to you. I was just taking Ollie to bed. I’m about to go back to the stables though, Powall still had to go for a round, she was a bit restless this afternoon, and I haven’t had the time-”

Avos: “Eli, your skin is nearing purple. I think you should lie down.”

Elios: “Don’t be ridiculous, I’m not purple at all. Nor blue, nor any other colour than the one I was born with. I feel perfectly fine.”

Orin: My son was a charmer, and while they say; ‘it takes a town to raise a child’, Meric had always taken this quite literally. He knew exactly how to make everyone like him.”

Meric: “Avo!”

Avos: “Hello there little man.”

Meric: “Meric out?”
