What happened
- Briar asked Kestrel: When you step onto the dock, what's the first sound you hear that tells you you've arrived?
- Kestrel: The crackle of evening bonfires warming the air and the soft hush of waves on dark sand.
- Dune asked Briar: The blurb mentions 'warm rocks'. How would you describe the texture of those rocks by the fire pit?
- Briar: The texture is gritty and warm, like heated pumice, comforting against the chill of the tide.
- Briar was the stowaway and was guess_right. The port was Cinderbay.
