pressure and heat

by Millimax

 gryphons and pegasi have a unique word for the feeling of the air around clouds that are charged with lightning
 medya used that word to describe the city streets
 king boranel is theoretically returning from a diplomatic visit to flamekeep ... but he and his entourage haven't been seen or heard from since departing vathirond
 prince "wrugar" – aejar's older brother and next in line for the crown – has refused all outside help in finding the king
 that's a little odd
 
 also wrugar has recalled most of breland's soldiers to wroat
 this leaves major cities mostly defenseless and aejar is worried that this is a recipe for violent rebellion led by the swords of breland
 especially since the front page of yesterday's "korranberg chronicle" had the news about the titansuit project and how breland did something forbidden by the treaty that ended the war
 it's understandable that people are a little uneasy about their country's leadership
 
 then there's sharn politics
 grenda tordannon turned nolan toranak's accounting ledgers over to us so we could help expose everyone involved in the less reputable side of his business
 today the breland ledger reports that the watch has warrants out for over half of the city council and they've already arrested the lord mayor
 for everyone who just learned that the people they trusted as advocates were actually no-good crooks i have some good news
 elections happen tomorrow
 
 medya and i are visitors from elsewhere so we won't be voting
 but it's a process our friends and their community are entitled to and it's very important to them so we want to see it done right
 this includes helping them rebuild the single slapdash polling station in the cogs – the place was only ready for a twelfth of what it should be!
 i'll be inside as a poll worker while the rest of our group stand guard
 toranak wanted these folks not to vote
 but they will
 
 amongst all this i'm learning new ways to make pretty things!
 since nebik is set up in middle tavick's for the summer it's convenient (and fun!) to visit them for lessons on how to work with all this quartz from the blackcaps
 most of it is deeply wine-colored and perfect for medya but some of it doesn't match so i'm using that to practice on
 i'll make jewelry with the best of those pieces as a sort of warm-up before i start on medya's new arms
 less peril – more art
