The sort of day where nothing quite goes right, where what you think you're doing is spring cleaning, you've got an armload of everything from old clothes to journals to a sword and you're minding your own business when suddenly you realize that the room that you were going to move your belongings to was ( Read more... )

Nathan had managed all of three steps before noticing the horse. It was a horse. It was difficult to miss. Why couldn't the island have grabbed him while he was out riding his horse? At least then he'd have shoes.

At that, Nathan had to pause and give a look around. Bright, shining sun. Sparkling ocean stretching out to either side of them. A midwinter chill in the air.

"I can see how you might draw that conclusion," he noted, a touch dryly. "What with all of the brimstone and fire."

Nathan. Be nice. You and Goody were going to be spending a lot of time together soon.
