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.

Flint stamps his foot, clearly a habit born of working his foot past some tight part of the old shoe, and the board of the decrepit wherry's old bilge cover simply disintegrates under it. His boot plunks down into the slimy, dark bilge water below.

"Oh for--"

"Hang on. Let me stop and wait and think about this, as at least a life doesn't hang in this balance," he says very dryly before coming alongside Flint and holding out an arm.

"Look. I'll not deny that I could sometimes do with a little more forethought. But there's not a chance I could have rowed out there quickly enough. And yelling for someone else to do something while people could die or are dying isn't something I can accept doing anymore." Been there, done that, have the crater to prove it. "I'd like to work more with people. But that takes thinking people might want to work with me."
