What follows behind the cut is an expansion of this prompt.

( Rough-skinned hands caught him )

In internally chronological order we have (as originally written):

summons (Isael, Aodh)
bridge (Isael, Aodh)
details (Isael, Aodh)
set up expanded
[untitled]
parent's child (Isael, Ruadhan)
define the rules (Isael, Ruadhan)
well. (Isael, Ruadhan)
sun's light
[untitled 2]
this place (Isael, Ruadhan)
bleh (Isael, Aodh)
[untitled 3] (Isael, Aodh, Yasha)
pause for breath
doorman express (Isael, Aodh, Yasha)


Consolidations with edits and additions for flow:

One (combines 'summons' and 'bridge')
Two (combines 'details' and the beginning of 'set up's expansion)
Three (mostly 'set up's expansion)
Four (combines 'untitled', 'parent's child', 'define the rules' and 'well')
Five (combines 'sun's light', 'untitled 2' and 'this place')
Six (combines 'bleh', 'untitled 3', and 'pause for breath')
Seven (a slightly expanded 'doorman express')

Notes: First war; the Trickwood, for a given definition of ‘safe’, was a sanctuary for anyone who could persuade Hernén that they weren’t going to deliberately set anything to eat people (or if they were it wasn’t going to be HIS people). I continue to do weird things to the holiday prompts.
