![]() “I’m a fast runner!” she called out, before raising a hand, to get the attention of some of the unmasked foundlings and denizens on the road. And it was the big thing she was being counted on to do, now. it felt like everything she’d let slip through her fingers had settled here. Maybe the shitty weather was eating away at her morale, especially with the echoes tainting it, but. Her pocket was already ruined, so she put it back there. Where pus bled beneath the screen, there was a television static texture. She checked her phone, but it was leaking pus from within the casing. She knew a handful, but Snowdrop had a better grip on the post-Summer goblins than Avery had on the foundlings, thanks to the goblin sage thing. She hadn’t gotten to know the Foundlings enough, when the Lost were supposed to be her thing. She hadn’t dug into her duties at the council with Theodora.
