OMG OMG I LOVE THIS. There's something about your style that I don't know how to name that's delightfully understated and clever. Favorite lines:

On the deck, the remnants of the royal party have the look of people who have just finished being extremely busy.

Her face is bright red when she returns to the group, but she’s enough of a soldier to act like it isn’t.

He’s holding the ember again, rolling it between his fingers, and somehow this isn’t surprising anymore.

It isn’t a mob, not yet, but one push in the wrong direction would be enough.

I've come up with what I think it is while copying those lines over. I think you never say how people feel. Even when you do. It's never so-and-so felt this or so-and-so thought that, it's always a description of appearance or a statement of fact, and usually phrased in this whimsical-but-detached way or some such. It's really nifty.

Also, you've been using a lot of knife metaphors, which is clever. Keep that up.
