Its different," Sorgans younger cousin Torl declared, gesturing at the glorious sunset late that afternoon. "Its pretty enough, I suppose, but its not too much like the sunsets out at sea. Mountains seem to do peculiar things to the sky.""Its the clouds, Captain Torl," Keselo explained. "Most of the time, Id imagine, the clouds out over the sea sort of plod along from here to there. When they come to mountains, though, they have to climb up one side and then slide down the other. That sort of scrambles them, so theyre thicker in some places and thinner in others. Thats why we see so many different shades of red in a mountain sunset.
