Summary:
Lucretia receives help getting the umbrastaff from an unexpected quarter--but that help does not come without a price.
Preview:
Angus McDonald notices things.
He has always been this way, as long as he can remember. Little details stand out to him, things that nobody else seems to notice or care about. And he's able to put those details together into pictures that seem, once they've come together, so obvious.
He's good at patterns, Angus is. Always has been.
What he's had to figure out is how to talk about them.
Angus learned from an early age that adults did not always like it when he pointed out the things he noticed. Sometimes, they got angry. Sometimes they brushed him off or ignored him completely. Sometimes they simply did not believe him.
No matter how many times it happens, or how used to it Angus thinks he has gotten, it always hurts a little when adults dismiss him just because he is small. He doesn't understand why it matters. His brain works just fine. But he has learned to take that hurt and set it aside, push it down into a corner of himself where he can deal with it later. And more importantly, he has learned that sometimes, he needs to come up to things sideways, to hint and suggest until he gets people to come to the same conclusion he has--but because they think they've come up with it themselves, they never question it.
It’s exhausting, but it gets results, and Angus is resigned to the necessity of it, at least for now.
And it's one of the reasons that he loves working at the Bureau of Balance so very much: since the Director recruited him, he hasn't had to do that once.
He actually feels useful here: a part of the team, rather than a child to be tolerated and humored. When Angus talks, the Director always listens to him. She doesn’t question him, or tell him he’s being silly, or brush him off. She listens and talks to him the same way she talks to all the other Seekers: like a person, like someone to be trusted. She has never once made Angus feel small.
No one other than his grandfather has ever made Angus feel this way, and he loves the Director wholeheartedly for it.
bleh month. Drew him as a manticore for fun.
