The Wandering Inn
|
The Wandering Inn had these quiet days. When all that occurred were…small things. Not unimportant things, but days when you could obsess over things like—nails. |
Belgrade
|
“Copper nails, Belgrade. I told you, it’s a thing.” |
Erin Solstice
|
Erin stood with Belgrade and Lyonette and Octavia, measuring out a new building that would connect to the inn. The Antinium Worker paused. |

Erin Solstice

“But iron has a higher tensile strength, Erin. Surely, the inn should be constructed with the maximum durability possible. Also, I would very much like to discuss the floor trap—” |
Octavia Cotton
|
Octavia and Lyonette chorused. Erin hugged Belgrade with one arm. |

“But if there is an emergency, you, as the most important person in the inn, should have defenses. It would not be hard to stabilize a pitfall trap that would collapse Miss Octavia’s shop. And—I calculated this last night—the explosion from all the alchemical ingredients would most likely vaporize even a Gold-rank intruder.” |
[Alchemist]
|
The [Alchemist] objected to this plan. Belgrade stared at her. |

“Let’s just focus on the shop, m’kay, Belgrade? Can you make it the size Octavia wants? And with the barricades and stuff?” |

Erin Solstice

“To dive behind. And separate areas just in case I uh, make a mistake and need to quarantine. It’s actually great that it’ll be part of Erin’s inn.” |
Belgrade
|
The stitch-girl nodded. Belgrade sighed. The [Trapsetter Tactician]—his new class, which he was very proud of—drooped, or his antennae did. |

Anand
|
“Good. And by the way, you still have to see the garden. Um—maybe it’d be better if Anand and Pawn came too. Or—is it better alone? With all the Antinium?” |
Pawn
|
“Good. And by the way, you still have to see the garden. Um—maybe it’d be better if Anand and Pawn came too. Or—is it better alone? With all the Antinium?” |
Erin Solstice
|
Erin hesitated. She now knew what effect the garden would have. Or at least, the hill. Belgrade paused. |
