– A népirtó vén kangörényt fél kézzel összeroppantanám. […]
– Akkor biztosan örömödre szolgál, hogy Lucien, Lady Himintell és én egyfajta szövetséget alkottunk ellene. Ezt leginkább az Egyesült Sereglet, Melynek Feltett Szándéka Gavik Szennyes Valagát a Túlvilágra Rugdalni névvel illetném. Szívesen látunk tagjaink sorában!

“For the last time, Zera, it’s not air. It’s aergasel. It’s lighter than air, and it provides support to the thrusters by lessening the velocity of the load required for takeoff—”

“Fione, you’re beautiful,” I start, wrapping the fur covering around me tighter as the crate-lugging, passenger-swarmed bustle of the chilly Breych airdocks hums around us. “And extremely smart, and incredibly good at explaining things, but alas, I have no heart and very little brain.”

“It’s not air, is all.” She leans on her cane to avoid a man carrying what seems to be ten boxes crowded with furiously mating chickens on his shoulders.

“Then why call them airships?” I ask.

“Because it’s easier than calling them aergaselships.”

“Fair.” I nod. “But still mystifying. I’d call them titships, personally.” A pause. “Because that’s what they look like.”

“I’m serious,” Malachite insists, lowering his voice so just we can hear. “Luc’s not really one of them. They could turn on him. And if they do—”

“We’ll use our words like grown-ups.” Fione straightens. “Or rather, I will, because I can’t trust you to string two civil words together when it comes to Lucien’s safety.”

“What about me?” I point at myself.

Fione’s grin is barely there in the fire-washed gloom. “Unfortunately, Lady Zera Y’shennria, you make far too many jokes for your own good. Or for the good of political bargaining.”

“Fair.” I smirk.

Fione sighs at us. “The world includes more people than just you two, you know.”

“Regrettably,” Lucien says, never once looking away from my face as I finish the braid up his shirt with renewed vigor.

“First I guard him with my life for most of my life,” Malachite huffs. “And now he’s saying he wishes I was never born!”

“‘Warming internally?’”Malachite scoffs. “Please, heartbreaker. Save the innuendo for your girl.”

Lucien and I go rigid in our seats, neither of us looking at each other.

“Malachite-whatever-your-family-name-is!” I half shriek, half hiss. “Shut. Up!”

“Save it for the giant squids, rather,” Fione chimes in and saves the day. “It’s spawning season, and they oft mistake the underside of boats for other squid.”

“I knew the ocean was big,” I say. “But I had no clue it was also godsdamn weird.”

“Extremely weird,” Fione agrees next to me. “The greatest variety of wildlife live in the sea, and by all polymath estimates, we’ve catalogued only thirty percent of them.”

“My favorite are the blood-sucking eelworms,” Malachite offers as he pulls astride us on the gangplank.

Fione nods wisely. “Their jaws are so strong, they can bite down to your bone and suck out your marrow.”

“Okay, please!” I throw my hands up. “Is an entire valkerax horde after us not enough for you people?”

“There are jellyfish,” Lucien says in my ear as he joins us on the ship’s railing, “with tendrils so poisonous, they rot your skin off wherever they touch.”

“Hello to you, too, my piquant ray of sunshine,”

She murmurs through gritted teeth, “Let Lucien do the talking.”

“No fun,” I pout.

“Please.”

“All right,” I sigh, putting my hands behind my head leisurely.

Malachite elbows me as he passes. “Hands down. Try to look interested in what they’re saying.”

I feign innocence and outrage. “Why is it me you’re all harping on? I’m capable of not ruining things, too!”

“In theory,”

“Whaddya know.” Malachite frowns. “A nice staircase leading down into the earth. Well, uh, not-earth. Sky-island earth.” He pauses. “Hey, what happens if we fall through and die?”

“We fall through and die,” Fione deadpans.

“At least it’s an interesting way to go,” I encourage him with a thump on the back.

“That’s the cruel thing about family, isn’t it? No matter how we feel about them, we will always look like them, act like them. We were raised by them, after all.”

“It’s not a question of whether or not the apple falls far from the tree, because of course it doesn’t.” Her eyes fix in the distance. “It’s whether or not the apple can grow taller than the tree.”
