Oh yeah, that sorta begs the question, why was Bastion in a place to give such a recommendation? Like does Beadman work with Blacktongues a lot or Bastion specifically?
Bastion is older than he looks, can travel a mile in a blink, and has connections all over the world. You’ll recall he even knows Shadwe Grandvin of the Temple of Song. And today he met the Queen of Cresce!
Jab Beadman has been a friend of the Black Tongues for many years, and as one of the more esteemed members before his self-exile, Bastion had many dealings with the man. Bastion earned the industrialist’s respect not only for his pymaric ability but for how level-headed he was among the Black Tongues’ other more ah, eccentric, whimsical savants. Beadman eventually asked for him by name even above first dealing with their sanctioned leader. He was irritated when he vanished.
Bastion Winalils and Jab Beadman really do get along great. I regret they didn’t get a scene together. Maybe I’ll write a scene with them having dinner or something one day. Maybe their first meeting, when Bastion was still apprenticed to Maur.
