    Summary

    “From what I remember,” Olruggio says, swirling his glass, “you don’t hold your drink well at all. Wanna put some money on this?”
    “You remember me being thirteen,” Qifrey hums. That same twinkle is in his voice, like he’s amused by a secret. “And I don’t have any money yet. How about a favour?”
    --
    Qifrey and Olruggio celebrate the passing of their fourth test with a bet, and start their new lives as independent witches.

    Summary

    She scuffs her feet against the hardwood floors absently and contemplates the 'please knock' sign. Olruggio will certainly not let her in if she knocks, since it’s late and Master Olly is especially exasperated about Agott’s tendency to all-nighters, but Agott needs this mentorship now. It’s probably best to invite herself in.

    Probably. Worst case scenario, Olruggio is in the middle of something very important and bothering him topples the whole tower down and Professor Qifrey decides it’s vital that Agott be lectured about respecting space and private time. As if Agott doesn’t understand the concept! Just, sometimes things are emergencies.

    Sometimes, one's lover's student needs someone to explain love to her, and that can't wait until after a deadline.

    Summary

    It had started as a matter of convenience – two warriors carrying out the traditional rites of Kremnos to honour their people. Now it was ritual, habit, so deeply ingrained neither you or he could imagine the morning without the smell of red ochre and sun-warmed skin.

    Summary

    “It’s been a long time,” he mumbles, face only growing redder when she laughs. The sound reminds him of the bells in the chapel, of when they had pretended they were ringing for the pair of them. “I don’t want to make you uncomfortable. You’re an honoured guest, and… a dear friend.”

    “A friend?”

    It’s not accusatory, just curious, but the implied question makes his heart pound in his chest. He swallows, tries to wet his throat to reply, but she beats him to it.

    Summary

    He turns his pensive gaze from Okheman shoreline towards his wife. His eyes soften instinctively at the way the eternal Dawn-light catches her face, hair haloed in gold beneath the watchful eye of Kephale – and yet it’s not enough to ease the tension from his shoulders entirely. Calloused palms cradle the swell of her belly, feeling the life moving within. The life they had created, the heir to the legacy of Kremnos – a baby. Their baby. The last nine months spent waiting for their arrival-

    And he was leaving to battle Nikador tomorrow.
