I have a lot to do,” Joachim said, making plans to have himself checked by his wizard for magical influence, his chaplain for possession, his apothecary for any delirium he might have ingested, and a nice chat with that pony academic who had that funny theory that you can solve problems with a griffon’s psyche by talking to them, perhaps finding a cure for madness. And not necessarily in that order. It was probably a bad idea to entertain one’s own madness, but he felt it best to ride this episode out first. It was kind of sad – he always thought he’d be harder to crack than this.
