| 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. |
| Lyonette du Marquin | Octavia and Lyonette chorused. Erin hugged Belgrade with one arm. |
| Erin Solstice | Octavia and Lyonette chorused. Erin hugged Belgrade with one arm. |

| Octavia Cotton | “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. |

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