The rain came on suddenly, and swept through the desert in a gray wall, pushing frantic dragons ahead of it. It was not a magical storm this time, or at least no more magical than any natural storm in Lightning territory; but it still precipitated a certain amount of alarm. No one wants to be caught in the open when lightning strikes.

A trio of dragons huddled under a rock outcropping.

It had taken some time to convince Vinegar to worry about Byron's intentions, and in the end it wasn't even Eureka's words that did it, which he was quietly miffed about as he followed her up to the lab. She'd repeatedly told him that she fully expected Byron to cut and run within the week, but as time went on she became rather more concerned. What Byron might do neither of them could quite say, but Vinegar was uneasy about harboring someone under false pretenses for so long, and Eureka couldn't fault her.

It took them longer to reach the canyon than Byron would have liked, but he supposed that was what he got for latching onto the first Lightning inhabitant he saw. At least he had no reason to suspect they'd been followed; he'd managed to ditch his guards in one of the more confusing corners of the market, and had shed his coat halfway across the sea, and he didn't think he was recognizable enough without it for anyone to remark on his presence.

Vinegar didn't travel to the Cloudsong much; the clan had few dealings in Wind, particularly now, and she'd never been big on travel for travel's sake. In fact it was only for the clan's sake that she did it now. Lorenz had been in Fang's office nearly every day this week quietly freaking out about his new position and asking just what was he supposed to do with only one other engineer? The place was sure to fall apart! Only with less emphasis, of course.

Fang's attempts to calm him had only made things worse, and he had made several long and technical speeches about flooded maintenance tunnels that neither he nor Ilhadro could safely navigate, and eventually Fang had come to Vinegar and asked her to please find them a third engineer, preferably from Wind to avoid the breathing problem, and preferably as soon as possible. Which was why, while Fang dealt with a flock of uncooperative diplomats, Vinegar was accompanying Sylvester on one of his mercantile trips. She didn't have any particular insight into that process, but she didn't want to make the trip alone.
