    Summary

    “Come through here,” Halandil Fang says, gesturing him into the house.

    It is odd, but nice. He looks very much like Thjazi. He does not sound, or move, like Thjazi at all. Similar enough to be comfortable and apart enough not to tug rough stitches in Azune’s heart loose again, ones that he had to put there now the Banner are all to be separated. Halandil moves with an elegant lethargy that Azune associates with the older soldiers he’s known, a certain economy of movement. Gentler than the old soldiers, of course. A bit more flourish maybe. That too.

    (In which Hal loves all his children, including the one that Thjazi posted to his doorstep one day without any warning.)

    Summary

    "No creature could survive those arrows, not for this long. Just goes to show how even the most... let's say, formidable of prey falls eventually."

    Rue knew that title nearly better than they knew their own.

    ***
    What if, instead of running back toward the party, Hob decided to try and run toward the Seelie Court?
