Three storms, three promises

'As they hurtled back landward, Jinai leaned at the stern and raised her head to the rain with a screaming laugh. “Look at us go!” she cried. “The Cloudlander is back on the bay!”

And gods, if it didn’t make Anqien’s heart soar to hear that sound. “You’re gonna fall overboard,” they called back.

“And it won’t be the last time!” Jinai shouted to the sky as it was rent by rain, despite Telaki’s protests in their ears.'
