Spoiler: Astra of the surprise test
Show
They accept your explanation and, when you ask, Mimsie gives you a hand up. The faeries identify themselves:

Archibald is 'head of strategic planning'. He's old and, as you quickly infer, a little hard of hearing. He is the only one here with actual military experience, though it was in the distant past.
Bruno tells you he is an 'auditor'. His shirt is unbuttoned, revealing a pretty ripped chest, but out of all of them, he looked the most shaken during your test.
Keit is a calligrapher. She's grumpy and plainly doesn't want to be here; you detect a faintly murderous glint in her eyes.
Mimsie describes herself as a 'factor'. She's slight, even for a faerie, an seems uncomfortable around the weapons, but she's observant and attentive.
Tuck is a messenger, porter and, it seems, general dogsbody. He laughs awkwardly and says his best skill is dodging thrown objects.

Spoiler: Kor the stealthy
Show
You're not at your stealthiest here, in the light of day, but no one seems to notice you creeping around. You get right up to the entrance to the tent without being seen. The chanting is clearly audible and you're sure it's something arcane. The inside of the tent is a morass of shadow and you can smell brimstone from within...

Spoiler: Violet and the flowers
Show
It's easy to lose track of time, poking around the flowers. Every time you fix one thing, you notice something else that's just a little bit off. Eventually, with pockets full of seeds, you realise that someone is watching you.

"Looking for something, Violet?" It's Cloverfield, the King's secretary.
