Quotes

"Of all my scions, she is the most devoted to her family."

- Marquis Aurialanus

" You sent him WHERE?"

- Kaida, in outrage, when she finds out Melieke sent Tiberius Harkonus Augustus Marcellarius into the Undercity.

" If my darling sister were Invictus... Well, she'll come round in a decade or two I'm sure. And if not, well, you aren't family so you won't see it, but I intend to have a smashingly good time."

- Tiberius Harkonus Augustus Marcellarius speaking fondly of his favourite brood mate.

" Kaida endures. She's the once-and-future-Prince. I don't know how she does it, but whenever there's a Praxis seizure, or a purge, or the Brood kill the Prince, she's always standing off to one side, not involved exactly but ready to settle comfortably back into the big chair. I don't know how she does it, and that makes it genius."

- Raymond Vauxhall explaining Canberra's history.

" Seriously, Tiberius, if I'm ever unfortunate enough to be Prince again, she's the first one up against the wall."

- Raymond Vauxhall privately, to Tiberius Harkonus Augustus Marcellarius.

"If I ever hear you talk about any member of my family that way again, I will make sure you never see another sunset."

- Kaida, threatening a member of her court when she overheard them insulting her brother.

"Hurt me, and you are going to feel pain, hurt my Allies and you are going to need an ambulance. Hurt my FAMILY, and I'm going to need a shovel."

- Kaida, when having a private conversation with her Sheriff Lupo.

"Vous avez du chemin à faire ..."

(You have a ways to go.)

- Something Kaida would often mutter.

K..."Does this matter really need my attention?"

V..."No"

K..."Non? Puis s'en vont!"

- Kaida, dismissing the subject that bothered her.

"Kaida reminds me of a little of a house matron. Not enough to tear her throat out. I'll just have to take it out on the criminals."

-Lupo, during his tenure as Sheriff.

"She was such a mild mannered prince when I first met her, but now she's become something different; perhaps the burden of all the boons she now owes is weighing on her mind, speeding along the Ventrue madness. In a way I feel sorry for her, sometimes."

- Lady J, when asked if she knew Kaida by a new arrival.

"What an awful woman!"

- a shocked Connie Gambrell, after five minutes' acquaintance with Kaida.

"What have we tied ourself to, Mr Hobbes."

- Mr Hobbes

"She thought I was her plaything when my mentor died. She called me traitor because instead I serve his murderer. She did not realise I merely choose the winning side, for I like this new unlife, and would not give it up because of any perceived loyalty to her."

- Ella Harper when asked why she and Kaida are no longer allies.

Kaida "Nyx, I could really use an assistant, and you should be rewarded for your actions in the Court of Canberra. Would you like the position of Assistant Harpy."

Nyx *turns to Grim standing behind her* "Uh, do I want that?"

Grim "Yes."

Nyx *turning back to Kaida* "Yes."

- Kaida and Nyx, September 2015.

Kaida "I was sent to build this city, to found this domain"

Adria "You built this city?"

Kaida "Yes."

Adria "Did you build it on Rock and Roll?"

Kaida "What?"

Glaux "What she means is did you ensure that the city had a spirit and soul of it's own when you were creating it?"

- Kaida and the Circle of Crone, December 2015
