The final step in Myr's ambitious little project is making sure everything's working the way it's supposed to, which required one last walk around the Gallows and everywhere he'd left the glyphs. It's already netted him two that weren't activating correctly and a third with the wrong sound to it, and he's in the process of redoing a fourth he'd put in the wrong location when Pel walks up on him.

At least this time he's not so involved to startle when she speaks up. "Fixing a mistake," he replies, a little absent. "I set this one too close to the others and now I've got to recast it."

He pauses to do just that, then realizes that his questioner isn't a voice he recognizes. ...To say nothing of--was that a baby with her? "These are for navigation," he explains. "So I can find things around the Gallows more easily."
