Ander - Chapter 5, Subchapter 7
You're in mateo's house, speaking to his mother, who also happens to be ander's mother, so you watch your mouth!_ "um... a fox with a bit of a temper."
Ander - Part 6: Subchapter 154
mateo - a fox name. why would they ever come together to mourn at the same pyre like that?
Ander - Part 3: Subchapter 39
The eight triangular divots made by his own claws to hide his feelings, the starburst in the palm of his right hand to save kiana from mateo's crossbow bolt.
Ander - Part 6: Subchapter 152
mateo. kiana. hezzi. they were kids. just kids... and they were gone. * * * if you enjoy my story, please help keep my face un-mauled by irritable ostriches by dropping me a donation. thank you!
Ander - Part 6: Subchapter 181
"mateo! he's a right jackass sometimes, but even i can see he's trying to make up for it! he's trying his very best to fix things! that's why he's here! he fought to try and make things right! he risked his life for it!

Ander - Chapter 1, Subchapter 34
mateo? and what did he call her? fiancée? no, that couldn't be right... "you should --- away. that thing --- dangerous." it was getting dark, but that didn't make any sense. the sun was _rising_. it should be getting lighter, not darker...

He was pathetic, taking this long, making such a huge fuss over a simple flight of stairs when nilia and mateo were fighting for their lives.
Ander - Chapter 6, Subchapter 74
Nilia nudged mateo in the shoulder. "i think you'd better load that crossbow, mat." he looked at her. there were flakes of snow stuck to his eyelashes. "why? what do you see?" he asked, reaching over his shoulder to retrieve a bolt.
Ander - Chapter 4, Subchapter 33
He'd been in his workshop, happily banging a nail into a chair like he'd done a thousand times before when mateo ran in, completely out of breath, screaming at him to get to the healer's right away.
Ander - Chapter 7, Subchapter 15
He had mateo's big crossbow braced against his shoulder, loaded and ready to fire, and was looking down the sight with one eye squinted shut.
Ander - Chapter 2, Subchapter 16
