Grip: “I see. And you don’t think you’ll be able to gain your parents’ approval at all?”

Upon seeing the disheartened, little face, Grip almost regretted his words. He well remembered how he had left his family. How the desire to do so had grown and grown, and waged war with the part of himself that wanted his mum, his brothers and sisters, his home. Spade had made it worth it.

Spade was gone.

Grip: “I should feed that cat, that comes visiting every now and then. The one that hates everybody else.”

Sand: “Huh?”

Grip: “Don’t worry about it. There’s always one place where you’ll be welcome. Besides here, of course.”

Sand: “And where’s that.”

Grip: “Well, think about it. Who else lives on the outskirts of town, who else is shunned and avoided and ... disliked?”

Sand: “... fairies.”

Grip: “Fairies. If you feel like you have to leave ... leave. If you want to try one more time to fit in with them, do that instead. That’s my honest advice: Do what feels right. When you’re reduced to your failures, eventually you can only turn to the gods of the wild, that hunt in the dark and care not enough to reveal themselves. But I wouldn’t want you to try that, unless you’re really, really sure.”

Sand: “You know what? I’m not that sure yet. But uhm ... thanks. For listening and everything.”

Sand hangs around the marketplace a lot, so Fang keeps running into him. He likes talking with him, but he doesn’t seem to sure about the misty-eyed adoration Sand has for him.

Fang aged up into a young adult, too. He’s been living with Grip for quite some time, and even though StoryProgression tells me that they’re on/off dating, they’re just friends. To top it off, they’re both bisexual (with Grip heavily leaning towards men), and Fang has an affair with High Priest Dark’s youngest sister, Grey. Grey is in a relationship with someone else. 

They also still need to clean up that meteor that crashed into their house in the last seconds of their last run. 

Since there’s only those two guys in this house and they’re mostly working on what might become Fang’s new home eventually, this week went by rather fast. As long as Fang is fooling around with Grey (who, again, has a boyfriend), I don’t see him and Grip ending their will-they-won’t-they dance anytime soon, and since neither of them showed any wishes towards the other, I didn’t resolve their relationship in either way. They’re friends, and seem to want to remain that way, StoryProgression be damned.

Some marketplace shenanigans. I keep forgetting how cool Wysha looks. I’m surprised that she doesn’t have a partner yet, the women usually get snatched up fairly quickly, since the incredibly risky child birth in this era means they die like flies. 

Grip went to see his fairy friends, and tried to strengthen his bond with the younger generation. Whip had made it very clear that the Changeling, the pureblood fairy that he had created through magic, was slowly draining his life force. By the time the kid was roughly 5 years old, Whip would die. It was decidedly strange, but Grip had decided to merely quietly accept that this was the way it was. 

Flame, the small fairy with the plucky attitude, was fairly ready to give him some fairy dust. He was used to seeing Grip around, after all.
