Confrontation with the baby fox
From this thread:

Sulen moves towards Mikodez, eyes gleaming the brassy color of clock gears. "I think it's time for some truth, Mikodez."

On the Wasp, Ashari (NPC) welcomes the arrival of Sulen, who threatens Mikodez with scrying after Mikodez is recalcitrant about answering Sasha's questions about why he didn't call for help for Istradez (NPC). Iawa is on standby in case Mikodez needs to be sedated again.

The disposition of a magistrate-thief
From this thread:

“‘Belong’ would be an overstatement,” Virmad says, concealing his amusement. “But yes, we did — I was just about to check on him [Gerae].”

He inclines his head to Sulen. “I’ll see you later; good luck with the foxling.”

Then, to Alaric: “Has Gerae had any food? I did tell him before I left that I’d make sure he got something to eat.”

"It looked like someone fed him, yes," Alaric replies, "although I don't know about Fluffy. Dragon snacks might make the conversation go smoother."

Alaric has just informed Virmad as to Gerae's status, and is about to hand Gerae over to Virmad's care. Meanwhile, Yehan (NPC) comes to talk to Alaric about mothling care: she reports that the station is having the remaining mothlings delivered to the Bumblebee and they are due any moment.

Comments

Sasha fails her save against asking questions

"Why didn't you report that Istradez was hurt, Mishka?" Sasha asks. It's stupid to call attention to herself when Ashari's in this state, but she hates it when people ignore her questions.

On the Care and Feeding of Mothlings

[slybrarian]

"Excellent, maybe we can get out of here without any further distractions. Knock on... wood..." Alaric glances around the metals and composites of the ship's interior. "Well, never mind that, it's a stupid superstition anyway. Did the station authorities say how they were delivering them? Main docking airlock, or from the exterior?"

a visit to the ex-magistrate

Virmad makes his way to Gerae’s room and asks the grid to establish a voice connection with the interior. “Gerae? It’s Virmad. Can I come in?”

Strictly speaking, Gerae has no control over this, but it’s more polite to ask.
