    Summary

    "So what brings you out here anyway?"

    Ed's out of the blue question at least answers Stede's anxieties about radio etiquette. He pulls the walkie from his pack and stares at it, deciding how much of his life he actually wants to share with this complete stranger.

    Summary

    Not many things scared Ed nowadays. But the possibility of sharing the same fate as those poor souls whose daemons drowned kept him awake some nights.

    Knowing all this, Ed didn’t know what sight terrified him more: Lottie slipping from his grip and tumbling into the water below, or Stede immediately jumping overboard after her.

    Summary

    “They can’t get into too much trouble,” he says, reaching for Ed’s hand when he notices Ed frowning off after the two of them. “After all, I’ve got all the money.”

    Ed’s lip quirks. “You sure about that? Jim and I have been teaching Alma a few tricks.”

    Stede stops in his tracks, reaching for the wallet in his back pocket on instinct. His shoulders sag slightly when he feels the edge of the leather billfold under his fingertips.

    “What kind of tricks?” Mary asks from near Ed’s elbow, and he nearly leaps out of his boots. He didn’t notice her getting so close. His fucking ear must be worse than he thought.

    “You know,” Ed says. “Jump rope.”

    Ed tags along on one of Stede and Mary's first custody transfers post-Such Joie de Vivre. He's not intimidated to meet Stede's ex-wife. Not at all.
