Kel: They call what happened to you seeing the kraken. It means you've survived the ordeal of war.
Fanche: An honor I'd as soon have done without. You look like the kraken found you too tough to chew and spat you out.

We are women of action. Lies do not become us.
Keladry of Mindelan to Fanche Weir
Fanche nodded. "If you weren't a noble, I'd call you a sensible girl. You've commoner blood, that's the only answer."
She walked away, hands under her patched apron.
"Fanche missed you desperately, lady knight," Saefas assured Kel. "She just hasn't got the proper words."
"You are a flatterer, Master Saefas," Kel informed him.
"So she tells me, all the time," admitted Saefas, his eyes mischievous. "What do you think? Will I win her in the end?"
Kel looked at him. "She will make your life a misery," she told the man.
Saefas grinned. "That's what I hope for."

A budding romance.
Kel: I heard Master Valestone tried to get elected headman.
Seafas: He seems frustrated, poor fellow. He wants to be a leader even if he isn't one.
Fanche: We should set the young folks to making kites. Someone ought to have fun, as much wind as he blows.

Kel: Okay, let’s get to work!
Fanche: Wait wait wait, do you never just take a second to enjoy things?
Kel: I just said ‘Let's get to work’, how else do people enjoy things?
Owen: Not a bad bit of rescuing, huh? Y’know sometimes I amaze even myself.
Fanche: That doesn’t sound too hard.
Fanche: Can I shoot him?
Saefas: Not in public.
