Thank
From Rain Summoner:
Sadira brought Han a dandelion she discovered at the riverside. Receiving flowers had never failed to brighten Yanna's day when she was stuck in bed after the wasp incident.
"I would have brought you more," Sadira told him, "but this was the only one left."
He accepted it with a confused inspection of its yellow mane. "Am I meant to steep it for us?"
"No," she said. "It's only for your enjoyment."
His eyes rounded as he gazed at the flower with new appreciation. "Thank you," he said, sounding touched and surprised before he promptly bit the head off its stem.
"I'm saying it behooves us to be practical. If someone manages to kill that man, their life would be all but forfeit."
Think
From Until Then:
"If they were caught," Zofilov added.
"Mhmm." Marcello fixed him with an incredulous frown. "And if I were you, I wouldn't walk around suspecting I wouldn't be caught. There are awfully few in this town who wouldn't think of you were something like that to happen."
The bitterness in his throat needed escape desperately, to divide the poison unto another soul, to find some solace in the misery of one just as thwarted.
Thwart
From one of the Huntsman's chapters:
Ghost-Hand was a poor recipient.
Time
From Rain Summoner:
A chill crept up on [Sadira] as she listened for the tiny clicks inside the metal disc. She wondered if it was like an hourglass behind its silvery shell, a timepiece no one could read.

🔎 Your lines to find will be:
An angry line
A line about an animal
A line that's said jokingly
A line that was fun to write
A quiet line
A line about the sun
[From Until Then]
Niall's eyes stayed welded to the rosy stain of sunset as it travelled higher on the wall. The thin spot of light shrank ever smaller, edging closer and closer to the casement until it slithered out the window and the walls were once again indiscernable in the dark.
Cut for some slight spoilers:
A line mentioning a song
[From Rain Summoner]
She held it in her hand loosely, turning it over to inspect the cracked inlaid coral embedded on its sides. It was not dissimilar to the music box Akeem had once brought Yanna as a souvenir.
"No one seems afraid to hold on to these when they find them," he'd told them both. "I don't imagine they're powerful enough to bear a curse."
The one he gave to Yanna was barely audible when it played. What Sadira could hear of the crackling music was rapid, bombastic, and generally displeasing to her ear - nothing like the smooth tones that had spun from [Redacted's] box when she had stabbed it.
And she had never heard a voice speaking over the song's played on Yanna's.
A line about swimming
The opposite bank appeared as it always had. As far as Han could tell in the flickering light, the roots and their accompanying horrors had yet to reach it. Not that this would do him any good in the meantime. "I can't swim."
Zoff perused the debris choking the current on their side. "I wouldn't either, if I lived near this river."
A line that's spat
His teeth glinted in a snarl. "Is that all you think of me?"
Niall didn't answer. He squinted ahead as the light in the tunnel began to twist and glare.
"The power I take, I take with my axe and my fists." L's blurred sneer pulled taut as he spat the words. "I won't bargain for strength."
A line about a son
[From the second book]
"You want honesty? Well, how's this? You have raised the most tactless buffoon I've ever met. Frankly, it's a wonder his teeth don't pave the streets."
❄️Thank you to @oh-no-another-idea for the tag here!❄️
From one of Giuliana's chapters in Until Then:
In Siobhán's answer was not the sickening jealousy Giuliana craved to find, not even an inkling of it. All she had to offer was more of her maddening placidity. She gazed up with those deep black eyes, dark enough to glimpse Giuliana's own pearled hairnet shining back at her. "What am I to feel about it?"
That pretty face, still and empty. Meeting her eyes, Giuliana felt as she had when reinstating her, as if she were leaning down to look into a well late at night. All she could see was the moon reflected back at the sky.

Stubborn
[from The Scorpion at Dinner]
The grating creak of metal parts coming from the shed told Inez her daughter was going to be stubborn again. She plugged the stopper in her canteen and cupped a hand beside her mouth. "You're not bringing the Dog, are you?"
Camellia dragged her rusted sled through the big doors and beamed. "Of course, I am."
Spice
[From Rain Summoner]
"I told you not to go!" Bianca scowled at the wrapped spices before turning away. "And don't think you can buy forgiveness from me. I came here to get away from gestures like that."
These last two are from Until Then [Rain Summoner's prequel]:
Speak
Z couldn't trust himself to speak on it more than that. He doubted Y wanted to hear much about the incident anyway.
She regarded him strangely, as if unsure of his character. "Father was disappointed," she said, not commenting on his outburst. "I didn't tell him about the letter bearer who came later, with news of your..." She shot her gaze to the window.
"Escape," he supplied.
"Betrayal."
Stone
D stumbled along the stone pathway, stopping to catch his balance every few steps until finally, the mist consumed him.
