Speaking as someone who spends a lot of time on a tall tower, the difficulty with lightning rods is that when and where lightning strikes is rather unpredictable even with the rod. But yes, flexibility, and everyone realising that we're moving to an edge and what that might cost.
Two things from tonight, about the middle.
I think Di and Chiron felt they had to show loyal (Chiron's in Internal Affairs), but the lecture gave them an excuse to check in with their Andie and Dal that no one could question. I got the sense there's been rather a lot of conversation among the parents in their social circles about how to react, and quite a few parents came tonight. Mum's going to work on getting more about that, since she sees Di almost daily and it's natural to talk about it.
Theo was unexpectedly interesting. He's been working in a pub in New London, and he said there's been a lot of talk about Laszlo's without mentioning it by name. Some of his pub's regulars stopped coming in, too afraid of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
But there's others who've been showing up much more often. Want to know they're not alone in the world, talk about people not taking their friendships away. (I don't think there's actual sedition, where he is. But he wouldn't tell me if there was.)
