The Deep Dive

'''Taliesin: What was it like to argue with Percy as Ashton? Is there anything else you wished you could have said to him or that you expected Percy to say to Ashton?'''

'''Matt: What inspired Lord Eshteross to bequeath the skyship to Bells Hells? Did he believe they would have more use for it than the textile company?'''

'''Taliesin: How does Ashton feel about the Hishari popping back up? Is this a curiosity that has long sat unsated or has he pushed away this vague memory of his parents?'''

'''Sam: Pike has confirmed that FCG has a soul! How does this make FCG feel, particularly in regards to their perspective about their life? He seemed a bit displeased with the discovery initially.'''

'''Matt: What were the entities that existed in the shadow Whitestone? The spirits of the boy and Laudna's parents?'''
