or: shane hires a stylist.

Summary
“Beauregard – you said she is outside?” Essek half-turns in the direction of the front door. “Should we invite her in?”
It feels like there is something stuck in his throat. “In a moment. She is, ah – giving us some space.”
Essek turns back to stare at him. Repeats quietly, dangerously, “Space.”
Caleb forces himself to swallow. “Yes.”
Essek’s attention is a palpable thing now, sharp like a knife’s edge against his cheek. “Explain.”
One moment makes all the difference during the battle at Blumenthal. In the aftermath, the Nein grapple with what comes next.

Summary
When Yussa invites himself along on an expedition to Aeor, he expects to unravel both the mysteries of ancient mages, as well as Caleb's mysterious arcane acquaintance.
If he'd known this sort of mystery was best-relegated to the pages of a romance novel, he probably would have stayed home.
In which Caleb unpacks some feelings around trust, Essek admits some fears about family, and Yussa is a third wheel.

Summary
Essek returns, when he can, to the sanctuary of Caleb's home. The peace of it is a balm against the tedious peril of the road, which has more misery to share than Essek had ever thought. It's nice to have a place where he can lose himself: in a book, in arcane study, in the confusing allure of Caleb's smile.
It's nice. And the cats miss him, Caleb says.

Summary
“If I am remembering correctly, and I usually do,” Caleb lets a smile tease at the corner of his lips. “It also does not require such, ah...intimate contact. You can cast at quite a distance, ja?”
Essek maintains a straight face, but he cannot disguise the way the tips of his ears twitch. “I—ah can, yes.”
“Much like you do not need to hold hands to Teleport?”
The wizards use a spell as an excuse to hold hands, make emotional speeches, and be giant saps.

Summary
There is a gravity that has pulled them together many times. It pulled Caleb’s lips to Essek’s forehead, and Essek’s hands to Caleb’s arms when a tower collapsed upon him. It pulled Caleb to Eiselcross, now, to be at Essek’s side as his life as the Shadowhand dies.
Now, it could pull them together into Aeor.
(Two wizards venture into Aeor - and find that something has woken in the dead city's depths. Something dangerous. Something that will force them to decide what their pasts mean to them, and what they mean to each other.)

Summary
Bren heaved in another breath. He shrugged his good shoulder again as best he was able, a smear of red on the wall behind him. Red everywhere; soaking his clothing, painting his hands, matted in his hair where he tried again to push it out of his face, red on everything he’d ever touched. He let his head drop back against the wall. Gave up on trying to watch Essek make sense of him through heavy eyelids that grew too difficult to keep open.
He cleared his throat gently. Rasped, dangerously honest in a way that only occurred to him after the words left his mouth, “I didn’t know where else to go. I—”
And grimaced, swallowing his words and choking on them.

Summary
He had planned meticulously every detail of the theft of the beacons. He had arranged so carefully his exchange with the Assembly, their resources and the research he could not perform for his access. But the Scourger they sent to keep him in line, making subtle demands and subtler promises, he was not part of Essek's plan. He threatened to drag him in deeper than Essek had ever intended to go. He just has yet to decide whether he'll regret it.

Summary
Carefully, Caleb undoes the buttons of Essek’s cuff, settling Essek’s hand against his knee so he can fold the sleeve up, baring Essek’s arm to the elbow. Caleb is briefly grateful that it is too dark for him to see much of anything.
He takes a breath. “Tell me if there is any pain or discomfort, please.”
[Or: Caleb does his best to ease Essek's pain.]

The second is that Caleb might be in love with him as well.
