Summary:

“If I leave them here, will you bathe on your own?” she asks. Flint does not answer, and she feels something catch in her throat. He will not, she knows – he has not taken the effort to so much as remove his shirt or attempt to deal with his bleeding wounds, preferring instead to sit, exhausted, on the barrel, staring into the middle distance, contemplating God alone knows what. She cannot blame him – there has been much to think on this day. She herself cannot put out of her mind just how close she has come to losing this – to losing him.

Madi decides not to be sent away after her rescue. When she returns to Skeleton Island, she finds a betrayal in progress and takes steps to save her friend and put her people’s choice regarding the war back in their hands.

To the Upper Air: Chapter 14 – Truce and Truth

He was getting too old to be running about London, but Hennessey
would never be too old, he thought privately, to be amused at the look
on James’ face when Hennessey startled him.

Both men in the room
had jumped to their feet when the Admiral entered the room. It was
instinct on James’ part, ingrained in him after over twenty years in the
Navy, though Hennessey noticed that he was slow in doing so, not out of
laziness but out of pain. He winced as he stood, Hennessey noticed –
the left knee if he was any judge, and he waved a hand.

“Sit down,” he snorted. “We’re not on the parade ground. James -” He stopped, looking James up and down. The Boy –

Well,
it wasn’t the worst bruising he had ever seen but that was hardly a
recommendation.  Hennessey felt a sinking sensation in his stomach as he
looked at his injured protegé. He barely restrained the urge to rake a
hand over his hair, amusement fading to worry and slight irritation, and
sighed instead.

“Please tell me,” he said in a patient, if somewhat exasperated tone, “that you have not been brawling again?”
