Not a lot of culinary delights, because characters are traveling most of the story. However, I imagine fresh game over an open fire after traveling all day probably tastes pretty good! #WIPSnips from SoS subbing “rabbit” for “burger”

You want burgers?! At this fantasy restaurant? How do you like these apples?

Did you like this bit from my WIP "Opportunity Lost"? Please check these out.

Since the idea first sprang to life in the minds of sentient species across the universe, there has been a bizarre concept of assigning the value of goods and services into quantifiable bits and baubles such as coins or, worse yet, dead trees pulped and turned into all sorts of inane colors. At the outset of the idea, and on its face, it is a rather simplistic solution to a rather complex problem: if one were to want something as simple as an apple, how many furlongs of sheep's wool is that worth? It isn't an easy thing to calculate, and what if someone with a lot of apples doesn't need large swaths of anything to do with sheep, and yet, the original person would still very much like an apple. One could give the first person the apple, as something like an apple is a basic necessity to facilitate life. However, if one were to gift a morsel of food to a mere stomach rumble, how long before society crumbles under the weight of the age-old question: Why do we not just give everyone everything they would need to survive? It is an inevitable question in any post-scarcity world. However, whenever someone utters the phrase in public, no matter where they are, out of the woodwork oozes every economist, landlord, robber baron, and anyone who could make a profit off the suffering of others to silence them before it infects the minds of others. This, one must understand, is the true Goldist way-- as it is in various other parts of the universe with whatever manner of name they choose to give such principles. The inevitable gnashing and wailing of teeth that comes from daring to question the infallibility of Goldism will always make for a dreadful time. It always is when teeth begin to wail, no matter which part of the universe you find yourself in.

Mordan is the historian he works for. His mentor and his primary access to knowledge.

that he won’t “borrow” a scroll or something to get information if he’s chasing knowledge!

Drisal is also good, but a little gray sometimes because he doesn’t worry about ethics if they get in the way of protecting his brother.

Today's grumpy scene comes with a TW for depression and swears. It has a bunch of each.

Elara expresses some things to Toren.
