Oh, where do we begin. When you have been buying any kind of gadgets for the past eight years, you tend to get some crappy experiences before you get to those that actually are memorable in a happy light. And even then, there is no guarantee that they even count as good ones. There are far too many annoying customer services that put a stick in your jimmies. So these are our Digital Retail Consumer Experiences.
Judging from the line of empty cups, Sam was on her third espresso. The idea of approaching an armed Valkyrie with three espressos in her system was usually not advisable, but I walked up slowly and sat across from her. She did not look at me. Her attention was on the two raven feathers in front of her.
I led them back to my room. The three of us camped on the grass in the middle of my atrium. It reminded me of the old days, sleeping in Public Garden, but I am not going to tell you I was nostalgic for being homeless. Homelessness is not something any sane person would ever be nostalgic about.
Still, like I have said, it was a lot simpler than being an undead warrior who chased fugitive gods across the Nine Worlds and conducted serious conversations while a monstrous squirrel made faces at you in the window. Hearthstone conked out first. He curled up, sighed gently, and went right to sleep.
We got a table on the deck of the Muddy Waters cafe. I supposed the place was named after the blues musician, but it seemed a little ominous considering the waters I was getting ready to sail through. Annabeth and I sat in the sunshine, ordered Cokes and cheeseburgers, and watched the sailboats heading out to Long Island Sound.
Hey. I touched her hand just briefly. I knew that was not Sams thing, but she and my cousin Annabeth were the closest thing I would ever have to sisters. Samirah, I just want you to be happy. And, you know, if we can keep the Nine Worlds from burning before you leave, that would be nice, too.
I thought about my Uncle Randolph. How did you decide when someone was irretrievably lost, when they were so evil or toxic or just plain set in their ways that you had to face the fact they were never gonna change? How long could you keep saving them, and when did you give up and grieve for them as though they were dead?
It is ancestral. From my distant forefather, Ahmad Ibn Fadlan Ibn al Abbas. The guy who traveled among the Vikings. Sam nodded. When I took the feather, I could see his journey like I was there. I learned a lot of things he never wrote about, things he did not think would go over well in the court of the caliph of Baghdad.
I remembered an old cartoon with sheepdogs punching time clocks as they came in for different shifts to keep the wolves away from the flocks. I wondered if gods had punch cards like that, or maybe they all worked from home. Could sea gods telecommute?
