#AtHNaHYA the answer is almost entirely “Vance”
Vance is Shepherd & Howl’s rock, their home
He’s the one Malon & Henri run to when shit goes south.
He’s built a small empire on keeping his loved ones safe.
More individually, it’s Bull for Henri, Ewan for Malon, & Howl & Shep for each other
#AtHNaHYA deals more with politics than fireflies
Shepherd & Howl are on the run because they did some… let’s say moderate terrorism, hoping to kick off a larger conflict that would ultimately see mages and nonhumans escape from under the thumb of the police state. It didn’t go the way they hoped
#AtHNaHYA
Howl: mother was right, it would have been better if they’d never been born
Vance: he should have left w/Howl & Shep, consequences be damned
Shepherd: the lives he took were pointless
Malon: they‘ll do something that directly harms their family
Henri: he’ll never be better than his father
Todays #WIPSnips
Malon believes in direct action
Henri needs any port in a storm

After this Henri meets one third of the retired rebel rocker polycule
