Conversation And Scenery On Gwydion

When a Gwydiona has recounted an undersea adventure, Tolteca teases him by asking him what it might symbolize. Llyrdin accepts the question as valid although he does not know what answer to give:

"'I don't know. I'm not much of a thinker, myself. Maybe God likes a joke now and then. But if so, Vwi has a pawky sense of humor.'"
-The Night Face, VII, p. 602.

"Vwi" is the universal pronoun. For deities with pawky senses of humor, see Answers To Prayers.

Quiz question: which character is said to have an odd sense of humor elsewhere in Flandry's Legacy? (The pronoun is masculine, not universal.)

Another conversation occurs in this colorful setting:

"The water foamed down into a dell filled with young trees. Their foliage made a shifting pattern of light and shadow under the deep upland sky. Rainbows danced in the water smoke, currents swirled about rocks covered with soft green growth, the stones on the riverbed seemed to ripple. Cool and damp, the air rang with the noise of the fall. High overhead wheeled a single bird of prey." (p. 604)

Three senses and yet another bird of prey.
