( There is a sense in him of misplaced wonder — as if the sand particles of Wei Ying's intimate understand slip threadbare between his hungering fingertips. He should catch them, he should hold — )
The port.
( And he makes rapid time: there, stalwart, coarse but serviceable blanket loaned from the Mouse House, for how can a man with an amputated core find flight anything but disagreeable? Dancing the few steps back to allow Wei Ying's great ungainly beast to find her footing on thudding, growling descent down.
He waits until she has settled, a destructive and gargantuan force between rows of indifferent, milling passers-by. Now and then, the port hoots with the spewed bile of approaching vessels and long, slithering carriages confined to tracks.
He waits until Wei Ying eases down to spread the blanket taut in hand. )
