“Indeed, for all of history there has never once been an adventuring group worth its salt that didn’t have some amount of lunacy to go around, and neither the gods nor the Stones nor the adventurers themselves would have it any other way.”

“Hey Cap'n! What're the swords for?"
"Squawk, sea monsters!" Abraham replied. Even he grasped a miniature cutlass in his left claw.
Eve cocked an eyebrow. "Really?"
"Best to be prepared," the tier three parrot said.
"It's not because you're pirates?"
"Nope."
Eve pointed over the bow. "And there's a merchant ship on the horizon."
"Have to be ready to defend ourselves," he squawked back.
Eve rolled her eyes, jerking a thumb over her shoulder. "That man's raising a skull-and-crossbones flag."
"Squaaaawk, just a formality.”

“They say time heals all wounds. That’s a lie. Time erodes. Time abrades. Entropy must increase, and there is no healing to be found in a world that little bit colder. Time contextualizes all wounds. It offers distance and perspective. It hurts us in so many more and different ways that how could we ever believe that first injury had affected us so much? Time demands our pain be no less finite than we are. It offers solace only in our own mortality, in the heartbreak of insignificance, in the fearful yet inescapable axiom that this too shall pass.”
