WHO: Ellis + OTA WHAT: Homecoming WHEN: Guardian WHERE: Kirkwall NOTES: Thread collection. Closed and open starters in the comments. Holler if you want something bespoke or drop in a wildcard, I'll roll with it.
Tsenka says it lightly, the kind of throwaway thing one trades with an acquaintance in a tub perhaps without any expectation of deep answers. Ellis should have a response at his fingertips.
Instead, he leans back, arms stretching along the edge of the tub as his head tips briefly back. Thinking. (It is hard to summon Yes.)
"For a time," is a half-measure. A stop on the way to some fuller confirmation that Ellis isn't ready to say yet. "I've business with the Scoutmaster, as it happens. And the Commander."
And there are people he needs to see. People he has missed.
