Kip: KluYa? KluYa is dead?
Drake: Really?
Kip: Yes?
Drake: Then he must be walking-dead.
Kip: Not to mention… *looks at Drake* You’re a Lunar… of course. But I don’t recognize you from the Manor.
Drake: Manor? *frowns* Sounds like a human institution.
Kip: No.. it was Runnian.
Drake: Runnian.. sounds human too!
Kip: What?
Drake: Inventions of your hole-ridden festering brain.
Kip: Wait… Are [...]

Drake: I could ask the same thing of you. You look more like a human. You smell like one too.
Kip: What do you expect, stupid Lugae messed me up.
Drake: I don’t know anyone named Lugae?
Kip: You’re lucky. He smells the worst of all humans. Something weird is going on. I bet Zazo is at the [...]

Kip: She snagged me up, like those forsaken Arweinydd do, and bound me to her against my will. But trust me, the moment I can break away from her, I want nothing to do with her little Arweinydd games.

Kip: *stares at Drake, not sure what to make of it — has never seen a nullifier before*

Drake: Well.. we won’t starve. *pulling his weapon from the Dragon’s body*
Kip: Ah… you could have warned me.
Drake: Warned you about what?
Kip: That you can jump in the middle of fire and not burn? What in the world WAS that? I thought you were toast!
Drake: *frowns* You’re supposedly a Lunar… but you don’t know your [...]

Drake: I am a nullfier. Magic simply does not work on me. *touches a small cut on his arm* Unfortunately… that means all magic.
Kip: How is that possible?
Drake: I don’t know the science behind it. I leave it to you… hand-wavers… or in your case.. mind-fryers.
Kip: I’ve never heard of anything like a nullifier before. [...]

Leona: Well, you know, just because your Dad yelled at you doesn’t mean he doesn’t love you. Parents yell when they get scared.

Ben: I don’t know! Honestly! There’s not a lot of information about Sygnus. It’s a story passed down from another language… from a people that existed a long, long time ago.

Kip: Not your choice? *swings down from the cockpit*
Drake: We are born according to our talent and duties. *jumps down, too* My purpose is to remove aberrations from the system.

Kip: *keeping his eye on the GPS*
GPS: *neh* *neh* *neh*
