[After a rather short time adrift, the fleet is finally in range of another planet. Small, peaceful, and colorful, there is plenty to do and explore.

Maybe it's enough to forget that vague feeling of unease.

Or not.]

Yes, that one. I'd gotten something important too, though I doubt its still here. I might ask around later.

[He shifts again, the prospect of either putting himself on the network or physically returning to the Twin Roses is uncomfortable at best. More people his absence would have effected. He's not ready to face that right now.

And Marian... He's not ready for that just now either. He doesn't even respond to Hermione mentioning her name, though it falls under the guise of answering her question. He nods.]

It's singing with magic, like a bunch of others we visited before. Just... not so happy.

[Frankly it sort of reminds him of the feeling in Kirkwall.]

I know that Ser Pounce isn't here anymore, but he was alive. I'm not sure about... Not alive things.

[ She frowns, leaning back and crossing her arms over her chest. There are so many awkward and uncomfortable things to talk about and consider and the idea of it makes her stomach twist and her hands feel like maybe they ought to start shaking.

So much of what other people saw were things that Wolfe knew about, but Hermione wasn't ready to put those things into words. It's easier, she thinks, to focus on what's happening right now and worry about the rest later. ]

No, it's... It's miserable, really. I can't figure too much out, if I'm being honest - [ which is clearly irritating her ] - but people have been having visions.

[wolfehawke]

[If Pounce is no longer here then Drools likely isn't either an Wolfe feels an unpleasant pang. Ah well. It might not have actually been their furry companions anyway, just some very convincing facsimile brought about by the Giving Tree's magic. Or so he'll tell himself to make him feel better.]

Visions? More of Atroma messing about in people's minds or is this different?

[brainiest]

I don't think it's the Atroma. I think it's the Planet.

[ Hermione isn't the most sensitive when it comes to divination and that sort of thing - purposefully, because she still doesn't quite believe in the use of it despite years more experience - but she knows where this is coming from. ]

I think we were brought here for a reason, but I don't think that the Atroma quite knew what that reason was.

[wolfehawke]

[Divination isn't really Wolfe's cup of tea either, but Hermione sounds so certain and he can feel the underlying foreboding in the planet's song and so has no reason to doubt.]

So you don't think they were in control of us coming here, or that they thought to send us here and just don't know any better than we do what will happen?

[brainiest]

[ She's had enough experience with singing things to get a good idea, and she hums quietly. ]

I think they haven't got any idea. It's... I don't know. Maybe we're just going through a solar system with lots of planets that need help, but it feels a little bit too much like a coincidence.

[wolfehawke]

Well, I can't say I mind helping, to be honest. Even if we're just in the wrong place at the wrong time we might as well make it the right time for someone.

[Though the tone he tells her this with is wry and weary, it's still genuine. If he sees bad things going on in front of him, he's not going to stand idly by.]
