It’s an ordinary day—so not a very pleasant one. The weather is dreary and muggy, and the day’s lunch is a soup that’s a little too watery and bland. The griffons are being their usual level of noisy and swoopy. The work is its usual level of urgent and difficult.

But in the storage rooms, something wiggles. Then it hums. Then it pops.

Outside of the storage room, there’s no actual sound, no shift in the wind, and no visible sign of a change. But the pop might be felt—like the moment something finally clicks, or two ideas suddenly fit together, except the opposite. In the heads of everyone in the fortress, something is suddenly not connected quite right.

The first sign of what’s gone wrong is that someone immediately stands up and tells the cook how bad the soup is.

A lot of people’s days are about to get exponentially worse.

It looks like you're keeping me out. [ It's a cheap dig. It's true. ] Though why that requires your apparent knighthood —

[ Trapping him in a room, etcetera.

Smoking doesn't stop his mouth from working, but it's something to snarl the words; prevent undue spill. Awkward, the contortion of a lip. More still, to drag it free (hand back that paper baton).

Who else shouldn't he be talking to?

[ It isn't a laugh; the start of one, maybe, but too small and miserable a sound by half. ]

Everyone.

[ Too honest. He's clenching his jaw against the rest of an answer as soon as that's past his lips. How many sorts of secrets are there, that he can't imagine a single person in this fortress taking in stride?

(That he can't imagine Leander trusting a single living soul to keep. If the wrong word slips out—) ]


You're simply the one I want him to talk to least.
