In their own words

Then we held it together.
- C01-E001

Brannoc. Stand behind me, please. Just stand. You're very good at standing.
- C01-E002

He can be tied up and fed. Those aren't opposites.
- C01-E002

It's cold. That's all. It's only cold.
- C01-E003

Only when I'm nervous. Keep walking.
- C01-E003

You went down and didn't get up. Humour me.
- C01-E004

I sleep with a candle. A priestess of the Lantern-Bearer, twenty-five years old, and I sleep with a candle.
- C01-E006

Then we're the help.
