"i know this is hard for you, nilia," bethany said, frowning in deep concentration, "but could you please stop pacing like that? it's getting on my nerves." nilia stopped.
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 17
"nilia, you -" he glanced at the wolves up in the watchtowers, chatting it up, munching on strips of salted meat. he'd have to be very careful with what he said. "nilia, i can't go hunting with you like we planned. because father, he..." "i understand."
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 46
"you don't speak very often, nilia, but when you do, you say exactly what's needed." nilia didn't know about that, but she did know that time was running out, and that they still had a lot of work to do.
Ander - Part 6: Subchapter 66
nilia smiled. "that, too." ander couldn't help but smile back. it didn't last long, but the simple fact that he was still capable of smiling was more valuable than the smile itself. "thank you, nilia. i needed that."
Ander - Part 6: Subchapter 63
"easy, nilia! jeez..." "apologies." he expected her to let go so they could continue on to the wall, but the seconds dragged by and his hand was still enveloped in hers, a thin layer of frost gradually creeping over their interlocked fingers. "nilia?"

"was that it, nilia? huh?" he said through gritted teeth, a crimson cloud of blood seeping through his wrappings. "was that what you were thinking i was thinking of doing? huh!?" nilia only looked at him. she didn't frown. she didn't scoff.
Ander - Part 6: Subchapter 177
It was - "nilia...? nilia!" ander tried to get up, but a stabbing pain in his midsection soon put paid to that and he fell back against the wall, gritting his teeth until he could find his voice again. "nilia, are you okay?"
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 79
"come on, guys," nilia said. "hezzi is hurt, and he needs help _now_. we can't dawdle around looking at smoke."
Ander - Part 3: Subchapter 32
_ ander grabbed hold of the spear just below its neck and made a mad swipe for wardo's face with nilia's dagger. in all the confusion, he had somehow managed to keep a hold of it. a lot of good it did him now, though.
Ander - Part 3: Subchapter 3
"i'd take just as much pleasure as you in skinning him alive," nilia said, her deathly calm expression somehow scarier than garten's gap-toothed grimace. "but before that happens, i'd also like some answers. wouldn't you?"
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 24
