Idira"...and thrashing it with the gusto of a raging grox! Well then, when I get my hands on you, perhaps I should treat you like a grox — I will hang you from hooks between your ribs and cut off a piece of you for every breach you have made in the Heartless."

YOU"Why did you steal the tithe? Did you really think you could escape the Imperium's wrath?"
Idira"And do you really think it's all so simple?" Sargona licks his lips anxiously, almost compulsively. "Then you are thicker than an Ogryn. Don't trouble your sorry little head — you are about to lose it regardless."

Idira"The recaf will be ready soon enough. I will brew it in your skull, you impudent wretch — if there is anything left of it."
