Summary
“Will you tell me what’s bothering you so, Kip?” his Radiancy murmured.
“It’s nothing,” Cliopher said, and then to the unwavering, unimpressed look, amended it to, “It’s foolish.”
His Radiancy countered that with a singular raised eyebrow.
“You won’t like it,” Cliopher confessed, and closed his eyes.

Summary
Allopreening: the grooming of one bird by another, also called mutual grooming. Allopreening functionally helps maintain feather quality, and has the potential to reduce conflict, reinforce social bonds, and function as a reciprocal stress reducer.
In a world where everyone has wings, touching someone else's feathers is an incredibly intimate and personal gesture, with most adults experiencing it only with a long-term romantic partner. Which is why Sherlock's sudden desire to have Joan preen his wings is so confusing, because it's not like that. But dismissing the thought has yet to work.

His thumb traces slow circles around the nub of bone in your wrist.
“Kim?"
He pulls his hand back. “I’m sorry, I’ve been drinking.” He smiles. His pupils are dilated and the warmth coming off of him is feverish and so tempting.

Summary
“Did I ever tell you,” Hythlodaeus says. “That I could tell from the very color of your soul that we were going to fall in love?”
“Ridiculous,” Emet-Selch snorts. “I do not doubt your soul-seeing talents, but how could you possibly tell?”
“Trade secret,” Hythlodaeus grins. “Perhaps, if you ever train your sight to be as good as mine, you’ll be able to see it too. You can even become my disciple, oh most eminent.”
“And Azem?” Emet-Selch asks, merely rolling his eyes at the comment. “Could you see it in them too?”
“Naturally,” Hythlodaeus nods. “Azem was born to love us both. To love was the greatest gift we’ve ever received from the star.”
When Hythlodaeus leads, Emet-Selch always follows.
