Don Quixote? She's named after that story? ... Huh. César is rubbing his chin while regarding some dirt, so it's easy enough to miss the flash of recognition in his eyes. He's even read it in the original Spanish.

"It's likely he punishes people simply for not leaving offerings. Stories about magical beings in my world do often have that sort of thing. I've kept my dirt piles fresh and tried to not give Magne a reason to worry."

He hmms himself. "I think we'd know pretty quickly if he was gathering some sort of army. After the whole ship thing went down, people are pretty sensitive to that sort of thing. But... it could also develop into something like that, and we might only know after enough people are missing."

César's quite enjoying himself, but there's that vague feeling of mild anxiety as well.
