Ok, this one starts a bit extra hard, but will get less mean pretty quickly.

Who is this?
XXX’s pedantic habits of thought were a trifle contagious.
Next quote
XXX, who clutched a huge bundle of YYY, looked quite cheerful. In fact, he actually looked as if he had blood circulation.
Bonus: YYY is a multi-word phrase. For 1/2 pt, what is it?

And another
XXX probably hadn't been outdoors for years; it was doubtless good for him, despite the fact that he was dripping wet from having fallen in the creek.
This time XXX is a descriptive phrase about this person.

Nitrate ? Perchlorate ? Permanganate ?

Ooooops.. This is not the answer you want...

One point and speaking stick to you.

Who said that ? Now it is so short I am not even sure the same sentence does not appear somewhere else...
“Ah… have we met?”
The ... are actually in the text. When I hide something I always use (...)


Bonus (can be answered independently of the main question, two entirely different characters) for 1/2 point

Who says
“Have we met?”
to whom ?
Human is as human does....Animals don't weep, Nine

A longer quote by XXX :
“Nothing new about me by now, no. Name’s XXX. And yours, lady?”
Hint: this is the first time XXX appears.

Bonus (cannot be answered independently of the main question!!! ) for 1/2 point
Who is the "lady" ?

One more ?
“Do you…” He hesitated. “Might this friend, and you, by chance also share YYY’s trade?”
Here, "He" is XXX.

Hint : this quote comes rather shortly after the previous one.
Bonus : 1/2 point for YYY's name and trade.

“I can think of no fate more delightful,” murmured XXX, “than to place myself entirely in your hands, Sora ZZZ.”
Sora ZZZ is the answer to the question asked by XXX. But ZZZ is not the correct answer to the bonus.

And this is a very strong hint, if you can decipher the paradox.....
Human is as human does....Animals don't weep, Nine
