    Summary

    This isn’t the first time Maxwell Gotch has been pinned to the ground by Torse. This is the first time it’s scared him, though.

    Even during their sparring matches, where neither would concede, where they both gave as good as they got, he never found himself in fear of the other. Even when Torse’s knife-like arms would press against his skin, even when he would bleed through his hand wrapping to land a hit, even when Torse’s punches would shatter the wood of the ship—if anything, these things thrilled Max, as mortifying it was to admit.

    Now, as the sharp edge of Torse’s bladed knuckles crash sharply against his cheek, his own blood splattering onto the scrap that made up the floor, he finds that the thrill has something more skittish hiding in its undercurrent.

    or: To buy his crew time, Maxwell must fight one of the Queen of Zern’s greatest warriors to the death. It just so happens to be Torse he’s up against.

    Summary

    There are cogs and dials and symbols Olethra has never seen before; books and trinkets and hand-drawn maps, notes and wrappers and a chipped, stained coffee mug. This is Comfrey, through and through, and Olethra wants to pore over every inch of it. Instead, she gets caught up in one of Monty’s books that she’s yet to read – A Strange Foe in Oh No Plateau – and only realises how dark it’s gotten when Artemesia calls her in for supper.

    A few mouthfuls in, Olethra asks “is grandma not eating with us?”

    Hutch glances toward the window, and Artemesia squeezes Olethra’s hand. “She had to head out, sweetheart. She said she’ll see you real soon”

    Or, Olethra's relationship with Comfrey over the years.

    Summary

    "I am confused,” says Torse, because he is. “Why would Maxwell have a personal investment in my gender?” 

    “Because he-” starts Olethra, but Marya cuts her off.

    “I think this is a conversation for you to have with Gotch in your own time, Torse,” she says. And then “Olethra, stop meddling. You know the rules.” 

    Olethra pouts. “Fine.” 

    Torse is barely paying attention to her. There is the palest, prettiest red flush across the bridge of Maxwell's nose, bringing attention to a small white scar on it. He doesn't know the rules that Marya is talking about, but doesn't much care, too distracted by following the pink curve of Maxwell's ears with his gaze, the way his brown-black lashes frame large dark eyes.

    Summary

    Maxwell liked rules. He liked the framework of expectations set upon an engagement for which he could batter his opponent against, or tease the boundaries of said laws in a rebellious sway of emotion. Van may call him a square, but the confines of a box is where he serves best. The same could be said, he supposed, for his approach to courtship. Unfortunately for him, his newfound friends didn’t seem to share the same sentiment.

    Summary

    Days were hard to track, in Zood, with the strange horizon and the various heavenly bodies floating around. They made some sort of attempts at a regular sleep and wake schedule, which helped them somewhat keep track of days in Zood, at least, days since they’d left Gath, days they’d been on this journey.

    This was a good thing, because Daisuke had been keeping track. It was a special day coming up. Not a state holiday, not in any state in Gath, that is.

    Well… it may have been a state holiday in one small sovereign nation out in Gulch Canyon.

    Olethra’s birthday.

    --

    Daisuke Bucklesby makes sure Olethra's birthday is a good one.

    Summary

    Olethra walks out onto the deck of the Zephyr, breathing in deeply. Something about the air is different up here – thinner, freer. She could inhale forever without stopping. Back on the ground, she was suffocating. Everything in her life was there to hold her back: her half-functioning mech suit, her parents, the laws of gravity, but up here, nothing could keep her from breathing in the scent of freedom for all eternity.

    Except for Monty.

     

    Alternatively: Olethra and Monty have a chat during the first night on the Zephyr.

    He has no idea when the kid - Comfrey's kid - becomes his kid.

    Summary

    Six adventurers, four returning from retirement and two as green as can be. Five suspected to be cursed, and one pretending she’s exempt. Six adventurers, devastatingly sky-eyed because of one woman. At what point do they address the elephant in the room? At what point do they acknowledge that their curses are not their own at all? At what point do they dare to utter it aloud? Though she didn’t want to admit it, it was becoming clearer and clearer to Olethra by the day: Comfrey MacLeod will doom them all.

    Or: Every Wind-Rider is cursed and it's definitely Comfrey's fault.
