“Come on, Mimi! Let’s go!” (chapter one, The Temple)
Beauty...
The three set off in the cool morning air. It wasn’t long before dappled light was dancing through the forest canopy. (chapter five, The Jungle)

She stared up into the trees, then looked at Zack, astonished. "Do you hear that? It sounds like they're starting to sing... together." (bird song from the pine clearing in chapter one, The Temple - from actual birds)

Brady, the Sloth

“Zack, we need to get to the river bank! Quick!” (chapter three, Confluence of the Rivers)
And Sonoris is a big place! (Hearsalot, High Priest, Order of the Rabbit from chapter two, Symphony Swamp)
