Outside, on the beach, there is a storm. It's only a spot of one, really, but the crack of lightning is hard to ignore. From the rain, only a second after it starts--and it started in a downpour--there steps through a young man and a horse being led by the bridle.

Ganymede comes into Milliways like stepping through a tear in a fluttering curtain, and as soon as he crosses that invisible threshold, the rain stops. In the middle of throwing a stone to skip across the water, his arm still swings and the pebble simply tumbles in the sand until it rests half-buried in the grains. He's still soaked: he was always intending to be, it was forecast to rain all day on the coast, which was half of why he went for the ride.

He wanted to think.

Milliways is as good a place as any for it.

[heatherandsteel]

OOM: Quentin watches the build up to a war.

Of course the plan to meet the Duchess didn't go simply and Quentin is yawning when he opens the front door and mutters, "Maeve's teeth."

He doesn't have a disguise up as he's meant to be at Toby's apartment and in a scent of heather and steel creates one before he enters. Its been hours on the other side of the door and still no Toby. Sunrise is coming and he's tired, maybe he can rest for a little while in Milliways.

Too much keeps happening and not going how its meant to and he knows at some point, Toby will be in the midst of it all. She already is by going to the Undersea to investigate and she should be safe there for now. He goes to a couch by the fire, curls up in a blanket and yawns, he can't sleep here, but its comfortable.

(OOC: Spoilers for the first half of One Salt Sea in the OOM, up to chapter 15 and the EP, chapter 17. Open until it scrolls with some slow as I travel.)
