    Summary

    Jaq squints at them, too, and after a moment says, “Okay, I’m not saying you’re right, Hassan.”

    Hassan blinks: “What.”

    “I’m not saying you’re right, but—the dead lady’s got a ring.”

    --

    A dead lady and her companion start frequenting the Spiralfare Marketplace. This causes some debate among the vendors: what are they doing here? What do they want? And most importantly, are they in love? Spoilers up to C3E65.

    Summary

    So she keeps moving, because there's just so much to do—there’s always so much to do, and then only so much more to do after what’s already been done—and she keeps moving, because she doesn’t think she can ever really do enough to make up for all of her mother’s mistakes but she can still die trying. Because, now more than ever, her people need her, and she’s no use to them if she wastes even a single second trying to make sense of the person her mother became and trying to reconcile that with the person she thought her mother used to be.

    Keep moving forward, that’s all she can do. That’s all she must do.

    It’s easier that way.

    ***

    Summary

    She and Imogen fluttered about the house together, knocking elbows and hips, spending easy hours luxuriating in the blanketing peace of knowing this - this house, this life, these hands together - was theirs to keep. Laudna basked in getting to spend time arranging the place just so, knowing they would be staying, knowing she could take her time finding the right places for things without having to worry about strategizing exit routes.

     

    The problems of the children of Drear could get the same treatment - the right solutions, well considered. There was no need to rush. They weren’t going anywhere.

     

    After everything, Imogen and Laudna get their home, and the town of Drear gets a dose of magic mending.
