- "We can't talk about this out here," Tyr cut in. I nodded with my wasp and wiped away my message.
- Representatives of Central's king, then. I did want to talk to them and hear what they had to say. But because of the party size limit, there was a maximum of four people who could go inside, which would be, I was guessing, the redhead, the greenette, Tyr and Kamella. Tyr had said he'd protect me if the king’s agents wanted to kill me, but Kamella wasn't a fighter, and I didn't know if Tyr was good enough to take on both of the others at the same time.

And if the quality wasn't the best I'd ever seen, it was still good enough for what I intended to use them for right then.
- I set up my ants in a half-circle near the word wall and had each grab the bottom of a web sheet, which the wasps continued to keep up. And, just like that I had made a cozy little tent, about ten feet wide, for us to talk in privately.
