Akibel Mowar is on his way home from the blacksmith's when he spots it. People are shrieking and fleeing from it, which seems reasonable, as it's a fuckoff huge snake with a mirror for a face. A big mirror.
Kib can't so much flee. He can shriek - he can lurch in the direction of the nearest house and try the door - it's locked. He can amble briskly...
He can break into a run when the snake gains on him and fall flat on his face.
And he can get eaten up.
And it's too bright too bright too bright and he flings his arm over his eyes.

It's raining and her scooter kicks up waves when she runs it through puddles.
It's too hot and she and all the other apprentices are draped around the room under puppeted or automaton fans.
She's going to a lecture on Lapis politics which is definitely partisan but also the only obvious way to find more about how the place is run.
She's putting together storks, boxing them up to smuggle along with shipments of quarantine-helper golems so not every one will take off from the same city.

Later. Sneak sneak this will be easier when he has a ring of grace the song version is not stealthy.

Then presumably he will not be playing Governor with Kib, unless Kib feels like going down there and suggesting it and then smirking at him just to be a jerk.
...
Nah. Kib works on his scribe all day.

"Yeah, he mentioned he was going to do that. Although he didn't mention the planned scope."

"The tests didn't sound that laborious. Show the kids some pictures and some magic, see how long they stare."
