Trivia

Post Wintersday appearances
Lieutenant Thackeray continues to appear occasionally in the Hall of Monuments, engaging in the following dialogues with Gwen:


 * Lieutenant Thackeray: "Cold today, isn't it?"
 * Gwen: "That's why you came in here? To give me a weather report?"
 * Lieutenant Thackeray: "No. I...I just came to see how you were doing."
 * Gwen: "If I need you to know how I'm doing, I'll come tell you."
 * Gwen: "I'm fine, by the way. Thank you for asking."
 * Lieutenant Thackeray: "You are a hard woman to figure out, Gwen."


 * Lieutenant Thackeray: Why do you spend all of your time in here, Gwen?"
 * Gwen: "I don't spend ALL of my time..."
 * Lieutenant Thackeray: "Okay, but you're here every time I enter..."
 * Gwen: "*Sigh* I like it here. It's peaceful, and I'm surrounded by my memories."
 * Lieutenant Thackeray: "At least I always know where to find you, if I should need...anything."

Another conversation with Gwen
Lieutenant Thackeray will walk into the Hall of Monuments, and engage into a different conversation than the one above with Gwen:


 * Lieutenant Thackeray: "Somehow I knew I'd find you in here, Gwen."
 * Gwen: "Lieutenant. What do you need?"
 * Lieutenant Thackeray: "Something's been nagging at me the last few days. I thought if anyone could help, it would be you."
 * Gwen: "Go on."
 * Lieutenant Thackeray: "Back home in Ascalon, before the Searing, do you remember Matthew Malone? Mary's little brother?"
 * Gwen: "Sure, but I didn't know him very well. Why?"
 * Lieutenant Thackeray: "We attended academy together. On night watch, Malone would go on and on about Ashford, and I'd tell him about Drascir before the Charr."
 * Gwen: "Is this mere nostalgia, Lieutenant, or do you have a point somewhere?"
 * Lieutenant Thackeray: "Patience, patience. I'm getting to it. Matthew shared with me the ingredients for a special tea that Mary would give him for hay fever. For the life of me I can't remember any of it..."
 * Gwen: "Hay Fever Tea? Dried Red Iris petals, nettle extract, dried apples, and ground Jacaranda seeds. My mother's recipe. She must've given it to Mary."
 * Lieutenant Thackeray: "I knew you'd know. It's a pity the ingredients are so exotic. Oh, well..."
 * Gwen: "Aw, stuffy nose? I'm sure you'll live."
 * Lieutenant Thackeray: "I'm sure I will too, but it's not for me. It's Vickers and Dermot, always getting hay fever. They're a constant risk to sensitive field operations! Next new moon, we're going on long range patrol, and I want a solution to the sniffles afflicting my poor men. Seems like the tea would do it, but I doubt I'll run into Jacaranda any time soon. Isn't it native to Elona?"
 * Gwen: "I don't know, but I bet Nicholas would get us Jacaranda seeds."
 * Lieutenant Thackeray: "The Traveler?"
 * Gwen: "Yes, he's an old friend. I'll ask him next time he passes through. My garden, of course, has plenty of Red Irises, and there must be dried apples in the garrison pantry. I could have some tea ready by the time you leave. Simple."
 * Lieutenant Thackeray: "You - you would do that for me? Thank you."
 * Gwen: "Well, it's...it's for the troops, after all. Anything for the Vanguard, right?"
 * Lieutenant Thackeray: "Oh. Right. I'll check in with you before patrol. Goodbye, Gwen."
 * Gwen: "Goodbye, Keiran."
