• Tessa tending to Marius' wounds in Issue 3 yields a few gems, as Marius fails to grasp Tessa's sarcastic remarks.
  Tessa: Try not to move or you'll tear the stitches open.
  Marius: I could not move even if I wished to, Tessa.
  Tessa: I wouldn't let anyone else hear you say that. The village maidens might get ideas.
  Marius: You think they mean us ill?
  Tessa: You really are a bag of rocks, sometimes, you know that?
  • Later, she mentions that Marius will no doubt be married to the mayor's daughter for his heroic acts if they don't leave town by tomorrow. Marius protests that he doesn't even know her.
• Tessa and Charter casually holding each other at knifepoint, which lasts nearly two pages before they put down their blades and take a drink.
• In Issue 4, Marius hides in the sand while spying on the Venatori. It makes him rather grouchy.
  Tessa: You're in a bad mood.
  Marius: I have sand in my pants.
