[There are other stories. Grimm touches on many, though some are too short to be called a story and not an instant.
He tells of the Pale King's laboratory, the way writing would glow and shift depending on what the Pale King was working on that day. His days upon days of labor on the Kingsmoulds and later the Vessels, and how often Grimm had to be the one to remind him that his physical body needed rest.
The many attempts and failed attempts at those moulds, how even the failed attempts would put any other engineer to shame. Even the one that wouldn't stop giggling.
How he had heard the Pale King laugh out loud exactly once, and missed what the White Lady said that triggered such an astonishing response, and had been wondering about that impossibly funny joke for hundreds of years.]
