Sometimes I get to know what’s happening with the narrative in advance, but most of the time I don’t! Which means I just get to be extra nervous for sweet babies Theo and Port every time Eaves posts and the fact that answers are literally sitting three feet away but are unavailable to me is excruciating!!! that’s all, happy monday folks
I just now saw the last two months of this thread and need you to know, @Robert, that I voluntarily read an American Heritage Dictionary cover to cover when I was 11. (Yeah. I may have leaned a lot more into my inner Thornie as a kid.)
And also! As much as I am worried for them, it also brings me so much joy to see Port growing up into such a brave, caring person and overcoming the things that happened with the Silver. Out of curiosity, has Port ever taken the Guide? I’m wondering what guild she’d end up in…

So… Rasia. I know it’s a Finnish word for a small box, but Google says it is also an actual Russian name meaning “well-spoken.” (Before this search, all I knew in Russian was how to say “I’m a whale!”)
So I’m thinking the new digs are in Russia, but there is a slight chance they are in Finland. Or maybe I’m reading too much into it, and it’s simply a pretty name?
I mean, I have a Scottish name, one of my friends has a Greek one and we both live in England, while two of my Swedish friends have German names and one has an American name so it’s kind of all over the shop! But that’s an interesting theory too, I like it
