Summary
When old age shall this generation waste,
Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe
Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say'st,
'Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.'Plato's Symposium has a few holes in it.

Summary
“I’m psychotic. You know I’m psychotic. You’ve known that.” It was true, Yelena had known that, but she was shocked that Bob actually said the words he’d avoided for so long. “You’ve all known for months. Why are you mad at me for it now?”
“Bob, I’m not mad.” She sounded a little mad, admittedly, but it was because she was irritated. Because it was impossible to talk to him about something that was so damn important. “I’m not mad at you, okay? I just want to understand what you’re going through so that I can help you.”
“I don’t need help. I don’t want your help.”
Bob, in the midst of an undiagnosed manic episode, decides to get his GED. Ava and Yelena join him.

Summary
Hans’s jaw sets as he works around his next words. “Maybe,” he starts, “all I need to do is get my head out of my own arse to be even a semblance of capable tomorrow in front of Jobst and his companions.” Henry blinks at the admittance, but says nothing.
It grows quiet again, Henry staring at Hans’ lithe form stretched along the bed, his brow still furrowed as he, undoubtedly, crowds his mind with thoughts of self-hatred. Sometimes it shocks Henry still, how similar they are at the end of the day.
“What was she like?” he asks, and the suddenness causes Hans to react, snapping him from his thoughts. He stares at Henry, and the older knight repeats his question, “The bath maid - what was she like?”
--------------------------
Fate's wheel continues to spin as the Devil's Den retrieves the right information on the perfect night. Henry is to stealth his way into King Sigismund's council in Kuttenberg while Hans meets at Raborsch with the other lords. Only days since their reunion in Maleshov, the two need to depart again - and neither truly wants to.Series
