“You guys must use some interesting parenting techniques." "You have no idea," Liam said dryly. "You have no idea.”

“You wouldn't believe the things that go missing in these labs. Remind me to tell you the story about the radioactive spider sometime.”

“This is the strangest family vacation ever," Liam said.”

“My brother, are you aware that you are presently taking the form of a rather large and distinctly emerald-hued bear? Not that it isn't an improvement on your usual excessive good lucks, but...”

“Thanks, Baba. You are always such a comfort." She gave him a wry look. "I know. I've been considering becoming a counselor. Or possibly a nurse." Day shook his head. "If I were you, Baba Yaga, I'd stick to your day job.”
