1 " You’ll do fine if you have any strength at all, but listen to your Green angel and give yourself more exit points. You’re in for some rude awakenings in battle, and young souls often retreat under fire. You’ll end up trying to find a shortcut back home and that always makes a big mess. "

7 " There is nothing about our duties that necessitates like or dislike. You have your purpose and I have mine. That’s the end of the matter. "
8 " Faith can be a greater asset than certainty. "
9 " But, yes - light, dark, balance. I get it. You tell me minions are going to attack me, then you go off on a tangent about your bracelet. I know you're an angel, but I think we need to have a talk about your priorities. "
