Orderly

For being as restless and energetic as he was, Gilan was surprisingly orderly. His room was always neat and tidy, the bed covers straight and the floors clear. While his person might not be kept as neat, obvious from the frequent grass stains on his knees as an apprentice, to the dirt smudging his face, to the random various leaves and things that found their way into his hair, the boy's personal space was always totally immaculate.

It shocked Halt to no end. He described his apprentice as flighty at best, and clumsy at worst. That his antsy, trips-over-his-own-legs Gilan could keep something so neat was one of the strangest things the older Ranger had experienced in his life, which was saying something. While Gilan might grumble over doing housework, that didn't stop him from doing an excellent job. The years Gilan lived in Halt's cabin was the cleanest it had ever been, and Halt was still waiting for the day that Will cleaned the house to Gilan's standards.


I loved the new Brotherband book. A lot. I especially liked how much it focused on the crew dynamics. Also, the next Early Years book comes out in November! With a confirmed pre-apprentice Gilan! I about died when I heard.

Read and leave a review, if you have a moment? :)
