Eskila was awake, but that did not mean Darragh was free. He wriggled downward to escape her embrace, then finding his toes were cold, wriggled back into it and wrapped his scruffy tail around his legs, his still-unbuttoned pyjama shirt rumpled up to his chest. Pressed against Eskila, he was...

Darragh listened to Greeneye’s story with a grave look in his eyes. Smoke curled up from his pipe as he contemplated the searat’s words. Greeneye had been as terse with the details of his life as Darragh had, but what he had revealed spoke volumes of what he’d seen and experienced. He had been...

“That bein’ so, it might be an idea to have Doctor Barrett make his recommendation in the fur himself, eh?” Darragh babbled, nodding his head as he dived onto any topic that would distance him from his shamefully clumsy first impression with Amnesty. From his un-jack-like screaming, pratfalling...

The stoat on the deck did not answer the flurry of questions that had chased after him. Slowly, Darragh got to his footpaws. His gaze didn’t meet Finnian’s, nor Amnesty’s. Instead it lingered over the spilled ducks, and briefly wandered to the dangling rope-ends, now both harmless and useless. A...

Darragh’s breathing steadied, then slowed. Exhaustion flooded his mind, and sank his rational thoughts and worries. Nestled in Eskila’s embrace, the stoat at last slipped the moorings of reality, and drifted out into blessed peaceful rest. …well, almost. It was more like he was trying to drift...

“Yaaaaaaaahh!!!” Darragh yelled in terror, as he suddenly found himself not gently gripping the paw of a dying old todd, but in a one-arm wrestling match with a howling demon. Talinn’s throat-tearing bellows sounded as though he was screaming up at them from the very depths of Hellgates itself...

“Oof!” The stoat’s flexible spine bent back gamely as Darragh caught Finny. He grinned, expecting the foxkit to leap up from his arms… which he did not. “Ah! That’s… hff… ’s’good!” Darragh strained to say conversationally, as though he hadn’t just been threatening a new recruit for trying to...

The cannon’s muzzle was lashed tight to its housing bolts, angled up some forty degrees to point the weapon up into the hull rather than the closed gunport, and its train-tackles were hauled taut. Darragh finished looping the rope-end around the barrel and the breeching rope, giving his paw-work...

As Darragh listened, his joyful expression faded. He passed from blissfully happy to thoughtful, then pensive. He blinked at Eskila, and felt a wetness in his eyes, which rolled down his cheek fur onto his pillow. Eskila’s face wobbled and melded into an oil-painting palette of browns and...

Darragh squatted in the three-way ring between himself, Prizzack and Greeneye. He hesitated, looking to Greeneye to see if the searat was eager to answer first. Then again, with the barest little Darragh knew of Greeneye’s past, he couldn’t blame the former pirate for being reticent. Since both...

Finny’s lips were drawn back into a snarl through the rope gagging him, his fur fluffed out in terror just as bad as Darragh’s. The foxkit was squirming in his bonds, fighting for his very life. He was yelping something, and Darragh’s brilliant powers of poetic free-association immediately...
