Maker's breath -

[ You Forces assholes are all freaks. ]

Who was attacked?

[luaithre]

[ A fact that's true about our world: Marcus has displayed less overwhelming dislike of Rutyer since the Granitefell incident, and so ordinarily, there would be no instinct to bare his teeth. If it's a setback that a second person Byerly has some attachment to has come for Marcus' own, or if he has no patience to take questions over the crystals— ]

Not now,

[ —well, snapping back could mean efficiency, or it could be either of those things. ]

[bouchonne]

[ Byerly, to his credit, takes it as efficiency. He's noticed the thawing of relations, and so he doesn't interpret it as hostility so much as brusqueness. ]

Share information soon, then. We all care about one another, and will be quite anxious till we hear.

[luaithre]

Aye.
