Weaving a Plan, for #Thimbleful and #FridayFlash

"Everybody thought I was coasting." Brent finished the repair with an elaborate knot. "It's hard to explain that you know you have to learn something. So I went with Liberal Arts because it allowed me to dabble..."

"And used your psychic powers to take classes you knew you were going to need?"

"Well..." Brent swam up. Below, a basket wrapped around a shifting seal, holding an Old One in their place. "Yes."

Nobody's trapping Ronan! :-)

Glad you liked it. <3

I would love a power like that XD It would be so nice to know which random crafty bits I'm actually going to use, and which are just going to sit in a drawer forever...

Also: literal underwater basket-weaving XD
