    Summary

    “I have ways of remembering who I am,” Azune says. “Of keeping both of us safe. Of keeping the body safe. I can bear you without losing myself, if you trust me.”

    Bolaire shakes his head vehemently. “You don’t know what I am—not truly.”

    “I know exactly what you are,” Azune says, soft but unyielding. “You are my friend, and Hal’s friend—but you don’t want to hear that right now, so let’s speak on your terms:

    “You are a weapon. But more than that: you are a weapon that wields itself. A weapon doesn’t need to understand its cause, but the wielder does, or the force behind it ends up warped and wasted. You want to fight for what you feel for Halandil Fang? Good. Let me help you name it.”

    Summary

    Thjazi meets Bolaire Lathalia face to face to press the mask under his thumb and have it work for him.

    He underestimates the desperation of a person who has someone to live for.

    And overestimates his own willpower while touching something so arcane and powerful.

    Summary

    Aranessa didn't actually know what had happened in the courtyard for several hours past their arrival at the Lloy house.

    It hadn't honestly seemed important. Their little party had all escaped more or less alive, and she knew that no one else had. She was far more concerned with the things Occtis had seen, and starting to make a plan for what they needed to do next.

    But. When the boy was too exhausted to keep answering questions, when they all started to peel off to their own beds, when her duties as the lady of House Royce, insofar as there was still a House to be the lady of, were complete—then, she finally allowed herself to notice that the haunted look on Julien's face had not shifted, finally allowed herself to worry about the vicious, bright-eyed grief that had made him lash out at Occtis and the tear tracks cutting through the sweat and blood on his face.

     

    Or: The last surviving members of Houses Royce and Davinos try to find a way to keep going. Aranessa keeps her knight as close as she can.

    Summary

    The last body’s hands were slimmer. A little more…delicate. These are sturdier, not quite fitting in the gloves the way the last ones did.

    “Might I walk you home?” Bolaire asks softly.

    (Or, everyone is reeling in light of the attack on the Palazzo Davinos. As the Seekers take their leave and the Schemers plot their next move, Bolaire experiences the mortifying ordeal of having feelings, a body...and feelings about your body.)

    Summary

    Last she'd seen Julien, he'd been standing guard outside, unable to be persuaded that it wasn't necessary. Thaisha wasn't sure if it was because she was the one asking or if he just couldn't stand the idea of doing nothing.

    Now, though, he was nowhere to be found. Thaisha frowned and did a quick loop before she went to the next most likely place for him to be.

    The door to Aranessa's borrowed room was still half-open, and Thaisha peeked inside to find her not in bed, but sitting on the small couch on the other side of the room, eyes fixed on nothing in particular. Thaisha could see her only in profile, but she could tell that she hadn't slept.

     

    Or: Thaisha gets a glimpse of Aranessa and Julien, in the wreckage of all they've lost, and starts to understand how little she understands him.
