* In ''[[Sword of Destiny]]'' Dandelion enters the plot via this sort of a comedic scene, being exiled by some young woman named Vespula — which seems to be a familiar situation for him. So he carefully caught the one truly valuable instrument, picked up the rest of stuff (some of it — noting «she demands monogamy, but herself throws another man's pants»), then retreated when she ran out of his possessions and switched to flowerpots. After he was out of range, she continued to swear at him, and loudly proclaimed that he is no great lover, on which Dandelion grumbled «I also knew girls who said "No" more pleasantly than she put out, but I don't shout about this to the whole street». Vespula attacks Dandelion [[Frying Pan of Doom|with a frying pan]] when they meet again, but {{spoiler|when knocked down, he starts to lose shape — this one turns out to be a doppleganger}}, thus merging the breakup plot with the main plot.
