I have come across a few strange phrases in the books I've read here. They're a little like the ones my guards use back home, except I haven't had many opportunities to discern their meaning. [She pauses for a moment, before resuming.]"Never look a gift horse in the mouth." Is it dangerous to approach one, perhaps

I don't get that second one, but the first one is something like "If someone is nice enough to give you something, don't complain about it." I think that's what it means, anyway.

And the last one means "There's more than one way to do something." That's a pretty terrible way of saying it if you ask me, though.

Hmm, I see. Someone was kind of enough to explain the second one to me. Apparently, you shouldn't stray from places too much or you won't reap the benefits of staying in one place.

It is rather morbid... I do not think I shall use this one very often.

Is that what that one means? But if you move too much, how do you end up making friends and stuff? It's kind of hard to think about.

Isn't it just?! A lot of these kinds of sayings are pretty weird, though. Like "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." Apples are good and all, but I don't think that really works.

It might depend on what kind of benefits you seek, perhaps. There are those who value material success over friendship back home.

Oh yes, apples are healthy to consume, but one shouldn't eat too much!

No kidding. I don't really understand people like that but whatever.

I know, right? I mean, you should probably eat stuff besides apples or you'll just get sick, anyway.
