Marie’s world got colder the instant her friends left her behind. It was more than just losing the colorful spots they made in the room, though that was part of it.

Trust Rudolph (78%)Her friends weren't happy about the decision to trust someone they didn't know. But Ruby ultimately spoke up for her, silencing any further objection. "We're already trusting Way's judgment just coming up here. We can trust her judgment about this.""Besides—worst thing they would probably do is kick us out," Peter added. "If we leave this hideout, it's basically the same as getting caught. The risk-calculations might get worse as time passes, but for now..." He paced around her, eyeing…-

For once, Liz didn’t pressure her into being brought along. Instead she seemed to be trying to get Jackie to turn around completely. Unsuccessfully.“Are you sure you won’t just make everything worse?” she sang nervously, as they ran together up the stairs towards the governor’s office. “You’re really going to piss them off. If you kill him…”“When I kill him,” Jackie corrected. “Ankaa is one of the strongest creatures of this generation. But compared to the champions of Charybdis, or…-

But plenty more were just prominent citizens of Icefalls.Including its new city-lord. They didn’t have fancy robes for Nightbreeze, didn’t even have a crown for her yet. She sat on the raised chair at the center of the room looking like somepony who had just been struck in the face with…-

Hayden was in a daze. She listened to the drums—that beat meant a sighting from two stations down along the wall. That particular beat signaled at least one airship. She could tell no more from merely listening.“Sargent, get East Wind back to the keep!” she ordered, turning to take off. She didn’t even wait for a response from the pony, just beat her wings and leapt off the side of the wall.

Agent didn’t pull over, but rather got up from the controls completely, swearing under his breath.The van kept driving—if anything, more skillfully than before, dodging up onto empty sidewalks or cutting across empty parking lots,…-
