Summary
“Hey, mind if I sit for a minute?”
“Not at all, Mister Clay,” said Caleb. He sat up a bit straighter and slid his book to one side. “Was there something you wanted to speak to me about?”
“Yeah, something like that,” Caduceus rumbled, his voice low. “I was wondering if you could talk to me a bit about... language. You see, I haven’t had to speak Common much until recently, and I’m having trouble with some parts. I know that it isn’t your first language, but since you learned it in a more formal setting, maybe you would be the best suited to help me. If you want to talk about someone who isn’t present, you have to use a word for them sometimes. Instead of their name. How do you know which one to use?”
Common isn't Caduceus' first language, and he's having trouble adapting to using it all the time. He comes to Caleb with a seemingly simple question about semantics that is a lot harder to answer than Caleb expected.

Summary
“What do you think of Bryce?”
Mollymauk’s voice was muffled from mumbling into Caleb’s shirt. They were laying together in one of the overlarge beds of the Lavish Château, sharing a moment of comfort while they could. Caleb didn’t know how the practice had started, just that at some point after escaping Shadycreek Run with their lives many members of the group had started coming together for emotional support in their own ways.
Just a soft little discussion about gender identity.
