So far, I have no idea; but something is unclear

XXX (a "her", woman of girl or female demon ...) said something. Then someone else says "Nothing about him makes sense!" and both of these two characters ("they") are more or less sharing the same thoughts, which "they" communicate to a third party ("Who are they speaking to?").
Or did I miss something ?

"Shut. UP,...said XXX , driven to twitch a bit herself. "Nothing about him makes sense!"
"Unless he's telling the truth," said YYY slowly.

A little more of a hint and hopefully a clarification.

Book?
Who is XXX?
Who is YYY?
Who are they speaking about?

A shot in the dark :

Book : Hallowed Hunt
Who is XXX : Ijada
Who is YYY : Ingrey
Who are they speaking about : Wencel

I don't really beleive any of it....

Sorry, no.

"Shut. UP,...said XXX , driven to twitch a bit herself. "Nothing about him makes sense!"
"Unless he's telling the truth," said YYY slowly.
"Even if he's telling the truth, he's blithering," said XXX. "Our dinner is getting cold. Come on, eat, then we'll figure out what to do with him."

Book?
Who is XXX?
Who is YYY?

Book? Captain Vorpatril's Alliance
Who is XXX? Rish
Who is YYY? Tej
Who are they speaking about?Ivan (when they stunned him and tied him up on Komarr)

I originally thought it was in Mirror Dance when Miles' memories don't match what the Duronas think it should be, except, of course, Miles has to be telling the truth, so it didn't work with the expansion.

Congratulations! You are correct!

Sorry for the delay! It's been a hectic week. Next quote:

She rubbed her lips. "Anybody ever tell you you're a lunatic?"

Book?
Speaker?
To whom is she speaking?
Context?

Just guessing

Book? Komarr
Speaker? Ekaterin
To whom is she speaking? Miles
Context? The days after Tien's death, Miles suggested lunch in the middle of a rather philosophical discussion, and, because she reacted with surprise, he pretended he believed she did not understand the meaning of this word; hence her reply, as quoted here.

SPetty · Post by **SPetty** » Thu Dec 10, 2015 9:09 pm

Nope. An extension that likely won't help:

She rubbed her lips. "Anybody ever tell you you're a lunatic?"
"Not in this context."
"I- you've confused me."
"Not offended you?"
"No, of course not."

Book?
Speaker?
To whom is she speaking?
Context?
2 pages of symbols on the tablet keyboard, and not an m-dash in sight...

She rubbed her lips. "Anybody ever tell you you're a lunatic?"
"Not in this context."
"I — you've confused me."
"Not offended you?"
"No, of course not."

Book?
Speaker?

Context?

Hint: It's not from the Chalion series, and neither speaker is Miles.

Book? Shards of Honor
Speaker? Cordeila
To whom is she speaking? Aral
Context? He just asked her to marry him, after knowing her for like five days.

Correct! Congratulations!

Ok next quote:

"As for the other . . . when ### XXXs say they didn't see something, it can become remarkably invisible."

Book?
Speaker?
What is ### XXXs?
What didn't they see?

SPetty · Post by **SPetty** » Mon Dec 21, 2015 2:23 pm

I was just thinking of this quote this morning! Good one!

By way of a small hint:

### is a number.

Book? Komarr
Speaker? Miles
What is ### XXXs? Two auditors
What didn't they see? They (Miles and Auditor Vorthys) "didn't see" the scientist admit under fast penta that she'd known/suspected what the Komarran group was up to.(Can't remember her name offhand.)

That's right! Next quote is yours!

SPetty · Post by **SPetty** » Sun Jan 03, 2016 3:45 pm

Next quote:

"Get the stuff and get back," he told Xxx. "All else is gas."

Book?
Who is Xxx?
What "stuff" did he have to get?

JKCade · Post by **JKCade** » Mon Jan 04, 2016 10:01 pm

"Get the stuff and get back," he told Xxx. "All else is gas."

Book? Ethan of Athos
Who is Xxx? Dr. Ethan Urquhart
What "stuff" did he have to get? Ethan is being sent to Kline Station to secure some new embryos to replace the failing ones in the Reproduction Centers.

Well, it was not exactly about embryos, but of about ovarian cultures needed to create embryos in the context of all-male Athos.
But, sarsaparilla, don't you think that JKCade is close enough to deserve the point and the next quote ?

Absolutely. Unfortunately, it's SPetty's call, not mine.

Oooops..

I missed one whole exchange....
So what do you think, SPetty ?
