The guy who laughs loud beside the princess. The shield's just extra.

I saw the princess almost smile, and nobody believes me. A man who makes his living off laughter doesn't mistake a thing like that.

CitlaliYou saw wrong.
NochiliSee. Even a stranger would know an answer that fast means something.
PapaloI saw it too! Ah, no, I didn't. I didn't see anything.
CitlaliGo strike your drum.
MishuaI'll pay good money for that scene.

The man about to kick the ladder out pulled his foot back. The princess just stood there with her arms crossed. That was the scariest part of all.

MatlanWhy are you the one telling my soldier's story?
NochiliBecause watching the Commander's own soldier get scared is entertaining.
CitlaliI was just standing there.
NochiliWhen you just stand there, that's a verdict.
MishuaThe foreman ran up a salt tab with me that day.

Left elsewhere

Ten years, and that's the first time I've seen that woman's steps stop.

In this city even a good morning sounds like a threat.

'Not yet.' First time I've ever heard that word out of your mouth.

Old man, when it makes that sound, how many days does that leave us?

Even 'how are you' comes out like a threat in this family.

When your hand shakes, laugh louder. That's how I get through it.

Was it you who gave the order to kick the ladder out, Commander?
