If Durrin hadn't been in prison the past 7 years, perhaps Twigly's crew would have already picked him up before now to be their fire manager, similar to how they "picked up" their navigator, due to his reputation. (I love the navigator character, by the way. Especially in the audio book, since you do so well with his accent.)
I also have the skill of picking up talented people, but getting them to want to stay on is another story. What's Twigly's secret?
Unless Twigly first got her hands on Kymar's Sixth Scroll, I don't think she'd be able to "give Durrin an offer he couldn't refuse" that didn't result in a cloud-frigate-sized bonfire.
Ah, so your secret is actually your potato recipe. (Personally, I prefer carrots.) What do you do? Boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew? Did you invent French fries? (Or Hakiru fries?) Maybe you have a secret ingredient. Is it rosewood? (While in the Calamar stables, I heard a rumor that rosewood does wonders.)
As a youngster, I once got struck on the head with a lawn dart. Ever since then, I have known that darts can be dangerous. I think Salidar takes that danger to a whole new level.

And speaking of danger, I am glad I am not from Calamar. They sound like worse "scallywags" than the pirates. Salidar's barbaric actions make Twigly and crew look like school girls!

What if Kymar was a griffin and the only way to do the 6th Kymar routine is while flying in the air?
We'll get to see some spectacular aerial pyromancy by griffins in later books.
Luckily for Durrin, though, Kymar was not a griffin.
One word.

Potatoes.

Never underestimate the power of a well-prepared and carefully seasoned potato dish to boost employee retention.

What is "French"?
Sorry. Trade secret. I'd tell you, but then I'd need to make you walk the plank at 5,000 feet up, and I don't think you want that.
"Unexpected cargo", "organized chaos" . . . Sounds like my life anytime I go anywhere with my three littles!
I would think the cargo would be expected by now :)
With how many stuffed animals and Legos end up in the car . . . You never know! 😆

It is true that "civilized" crimes can often be far more terrifying than "barbaric" ones!
