Swifttail leaned against a bulkhead on the weather deck, a mug of lukewarm tea cradled between his paws. His shift in the engine room had ended not long ago, and for once, no beast had come barking for his help. He wasn’t about to waste the rare luxury of quiet air and a moment to himself.
Then he heard it. Darragh’s voice, sharp with determination.
Swifttail’s ears perked.
He didn’t move just yet, just lowered his mug a touch and angled his head toward the cluster of voices. From this distance, he glimpsed Darragh and a kitted up ferret circled by several dozen other crew beasts.
Creeping to the edge of the gathering, he stayed quiet for the moment. However, if Darragh called upon him, if the moment needed one more voice to seal the story, he was ready.
