Summary
Scaramouche finds a boy named Teucer wandering the halls of Zapolyarny Palace. He doesn’t want any humans near him—including children, but when Il Dottore lurks in the shadows, he decides to watch over the child. He knows more than anyone else the dangers of that man.
“Poor puppet,” Dottore shakes his head, amused by the sight before him, “to be cursed with the blessing of immortality.”
Scaramouche remains still, head lying in a pool of his own blood.
Dottore wonders if his inferior is actually unconscious as he bends down, running a hand through the red liquid. It glistens on his fingertips, seemingly alive and thrumming with energy. He plays with it using his thumb, the liquid tact against his glove.
“You’ve done a lot of damage,” he says, idly. “It will take me quite a while to repair you back to prime health. How do you plan to repay me?”

Summary
When The Wanderer’s mechanical ears stop functioning, he’s left deafened—forced to repair them alone, or so he thinks.
Dottore was who serviced him in the past, and despite leaving the Fatui, The Doctor's memory still haunts him. Some things can’t be fixed with tools alone.
With his hands, Aether signs, “Are you okay?”
“I’m….” Wanderer blinks. He’s bewildered before anything else. “Why do you even know sign language?”
(Can be read as standalone!)
