Dialogue
In Tyria:
 * "I carry nothing that I cannot live without, leave behind nothing that can be tracked, take nothing that I do not need, and make no promises I cannot keep. If you have seen me it is because I want you to, if you have not, then I have already seen you."

In Kaineng Center, Cantha:
 * "I find it hard to breathe in this sprawling mass. There are too many people and not nearly enough trees. Mhenlo was right to bring us here, but I wish he warned me this city would be such a, well, city. If Cynn doesn't strangle him first, I might put an arrow in his rear if we're stuck here too much longer."

When spoken to in the Divine Path:
 * "It will take some time to track down and destroy all of Shiro's remaining minions. I wish you luck."

 * "The hard pumice gives little evidence of a creature's passing footfalls."

Other idle quotes:
 * "I'd like to be out of this city as soon as possible."

Tyrian battle quotes:
 * "How does this taste?
 * "If you hear my arrow whistle, it's too late."
 * "Melandru take you swiftly.
 * "Nowhere to run to. Nowhere to hide."
