The Tangle from the heart of the universe

The salt king's shushing makes him want to twitch his eyebrows in a scowl but says nothing of it. He wants to self-efface then and there, but he listens to the unseelie's later days of yore, suppsedly nodding in understanding. If Wintersbane had told him about his findings concerning Thade and shepherding the boy home, he would have assumed anything but the man not doing it out of sycophantic intent. How cynical he was made to be!  

“...Start anew? How can you? People don't change, they can't,” it may roll off as in insult or the misunderstandings of puberty-less boy, and maybe its both. He does not understand how finding asylum with slums by the sea could be his own opus magnum. 

“Let's just go home now.”

Wintersbane tells him he doesn't understand, and tells him of his designs for the bay. Astraeus takes interests in the man's descriptions of the terrain, but decides against going with him. HE turns tail back to the sawtooth-specimen.
