"Sorry, sorry," she chuckled. "But uh… I don't see any way to deal with the flying little things. We're down here, and they're up there."

"Once that happened, I tossed on my armor as fast as I could, grabbed a shield and this sword, and hurried out to find that all hell had broken loose. No one even tried to wake me up, can you believe that?"

'Probably because they didn't think you would sleep through an entire war,' Morne thought dully.
