Would you care to take over?

[libratus]

I'm only pointing it out.

[sarcophage]

[Sitting up—he'd have straw in his hair if it were that kind of wagon—]

Why've we stopped?

[exequy]

Incompetence.

[ He's reading. He doesn't stop. ]

[libratus]

[ To Kostos and/or his book cover, because Maker forbid they agree-- ]

It's having a rest.

[wythersake]

Now. Kostos is the expert.

[ on horse-driving. not incompetence. surely. ]

[sarcophage]

So let him drive, then.

I'd like to get there before my clothes go out of fashion.

[exequy]

If not being completely fucking inept counts as expertise now.

[wythersake]

Isn't that how our promotions work?

[ all three of you!! ]

[sarcophage]

[He's ready to climb in front—]

[exequy]

[ Kostos goes back to his book, with added sulking. ]

[ leander is an insane person, and inexplicably the most helpful of them. he can have the reins.

isaac doesn't immediately trade for the cart. it was a bit of a low blow, better to give kostos a moment. and ilias is back there, so. you know. fuck that. ]

[This most helpful insane person settles, flashes Isaac a pleasant smile, and snaps the reins smartly to startle their wayward steed into action.]
