This is a selection taken from a conference at Whitby's Boarshead Tavern after Tandar announced he would be going on leave alone. During this time, he is suffering from emotional stress, and the announcement strains his romantic relationship with Brandy. I believe this quotation reflects a little of the unconditional love and genuine supportive nature of his true friends.
“I love you, Tandar. Always remember that.”
"Let her go son. ... When it is time, you will find her faithful."
Brandwyn Elfstone and Ringulf, Directives from the Boarshead

"Ah well, you know, peace and quiet are overrated anyhow." "So what are you up too--nothing good?" "Oh, some good, some..." ..."You know how it is." "I do. Who all have you been annoying?" "W-eellll..." ..."There's--" "I get it. The whole Corps." -- Red and Qwade; Visit to an Old Friend ---------------- One of my favorites.

When they walked up to Smidja and Ogmund, Smidja said,
"Vell I do hope your Lordship and Lady hat a pleasant time at de Ball?" The note of sarchasm heavy in his voice.
"Vell Captain Smidja, de all knowing, all powerful, blessed of Odin, leader off us all!...Ve did! It seemed to me after playing nurse, mucking stalls, slinging hay, fetching mudd, and playing patty-cake vit de local boys, vile de rest of de crew hat shore leave, I taught dat me and my frient deserved a little bit of dinner, tank you very much!! Now vat de hell iss happening here?!" Ari said a bit heatedly."
(Aribjorn and Captain Smidja Myrkvatn in Caraway Market Square)

Mylia shook her head and started to speak, but stopped when he asked her what she had been doing up the mast in the first place. She paused a moment to collect her thoughts, then plunged ahead.
"When the fighting started, I nearly got my head split open by an ax, so I climbed up into the crowsnest for a better vantage...and to get out of range of thrown axes." Here she gave him a wry smile. "I'm not a big fan of those, when they're being thrown at me. Then when the fighting got to a point where it looked like we were gonna lose, and I'd just about run out of arrows, I tried a scare tactic and hoped it'd work. Even in the city, we've heard the superstition that if you're outside and you hear a banshee wail, it means you'll die before the week is over. So I climbed to the highest point I could and let loose....I'm not sure if it worked or not, though."
"Then we hit the shore, and the mast I was on broke. I had aimed on jumping off, and hopefully landing on my feet, or landing in a roll, but you kinda changed that part of my plan." She paused again, then added, "It was less painful, though....Thanks."
(Mylia with Aribjorn at the Tavern in Caraway Market Square)

"You know, with everything you went through growing up, I would expect you to have nightmares. In fact I would find it disturbing if you didn't have nightmares," he said cryptically. "Dreams, whether good or bad, reflect your mind's way of dealing with things that happen in real life. think of it like your brain using dreams to process information so it can cope with everything."
"A lot of the time talking about what's bothering you will make the bad dreams go away. So, tell me about the nightmare."

Rufus took off his shirts and hung them to dry around the stable. He didn't bother to hide his physique. He wasn't ashamed of his lean form with whipcord muscles. Setting about cleaning his mandolin was his next priority. The water could prove disastrous to the harmonics of the instrument. Next was his stomach, he took up one of the bowls and grabbed a mug. He sniffed the food and drink, 'Mmmm, smells like a little beef. Oh and apple cider, yum,' he thought delighted by the meal. "So Ranger Marcus what brings you to this town? Business or pleasure?"
From 'Simply Waiting' Rufus the bard and Marcus the ranger getting aquainted.

In a sudden flash she really just wanted to see Marcus. He always made her laugh and he was cute and nice. It had been almost a year since she had seen him last.

(Marcus would really like this, if he only knew what she was thinking. Grin!)

"I hope you'll come to Ringulf's class."
"Wouldn't miss it. I've always wanted to get my brains bashed in by a big Skandian hulk with an axe."
~~Sam (NPC) and Mylia in The Gathering

"Control is a very elusive thing. without it we can have no sense of balance and are subject to every random though or emotion. So yes...we need control of ourselves, our thoughts to some extent, our feelings. However, That being said, do not desire to control everything, That is for a ruler not a Ranger, we need to think on our feet and react to many different situations. Feelings will come, events will unfold to trigger them, people will surprise you, you can't dominate and control everyone or everything around you. Instead of that, or having fear at the impending loss of your control, strengthen yourself, practice your skills, prepare your heart and mind. If you have the confidence in yourself to handle what life brings to you, you will, with patience and discipline, overcome it.
I remember, when I was a boy, My father who was a very fine Wolfship captain, taught me to sail. One thing that always stuck in my mind when I would try to get from here to there and get frustrated by the winds, he would say to me, Remember son you can not control the wind, but you can always trim the sail." -----Ringulf, from the Harvest Faire ____________________________________________________________________________________________________
This has been one of my all-time favorite quotes.
