Summary
Cyno doesn’t remember the first time he heard the name “Tighnari.” He only knows that one day he did not know it and the next day it was the most common word whispered among the scholars at the Akademiya.
Like most sudden changes at the Akademiya, it makes him apprehensive.
Cyno takes it upon himself to investigate the Akademiya's most-popular researcher as of late. He finds something else wholly unexpected in Tighnari.

Summary
“I do,” his father says. “And I also have your mother. She is one person with whom I’ve never felt exhausted. Along with you, of course.”
Tighnari nods but doesn’t understand. His father laughs as if he knows.
“One day, you’ll find someone who feels that way to you.”
Most people exhaust Tighnari but Cyno is an exception. During one of their study sessions together, Tighnari remembers something his father once told him and realizes his feelings for Cyno.

Summary
“Hello General Mahamatra.”
Cyno laughs and it’s louder than usual. Tighnari blinks and Cyno’s face is hovering over his, cheeks flushed and eyes sparkling. Cyno’s breath smells sickly-sweet, like Zaytun peach liqueur.
“Tighnari.”
Cyno says his name in a soft sigh and Tighnari swallows back the sudden wave of want that hits him. He feels Cyno’s rough hand and callused fingertips slip between his own as he pulls Tighnari up into a sitting position on the floor.
They’ve been dancing around something for the past few weeks, he and Cyno.
How the Amurta gardens of Pardis Dhyai became much more than a place for research for Tighnari, essential to the growth of his and Cyno's relationship.

Summary
Startled at the frisson of desire that courses through his body, Tighnari gasps. At Cyno’s low laughter, Tighnari clears his throat and reaches up to catch Cyno’s wrist in a tight grip.
The harder he squeezes the more Cyno laughs at him.
“Collei won’t be back for a while if that’s who you were looking for General Mahamatra,” Tighnari says, noting that a few of the other forest watchers have gathered around them, awestruck at the sight of the Akademiya’s Judicator of Secrets. “You may rest inside until she returns.”
Cyno sighs again, this time less petulant and more exhausted. A blank expression crosses his face and he drops his hands to his sides when Tighnari releases him. “I seem to have attracted some attention. This was not my intent. Would you mind making me a cup of tea? I’ve travelled a long way today.”

Summary
Tighnari loves Cyno’s laugh. It’s harsh and hoarse and almost like a cough but Cyno’s entire face lights up when he tells one of his awful jokes.
“That’s a new low, even for you,” he says.
“That means it’s some of my best material,” Cyno retorts. “You love my jokes.”
Tighnari does, but will never tell Cyno this. Somehow, Cyno knows anyway.
Tighnari is hurt while trying to clear a Withering zone. Cyno is there for him.

Summary
Cyno has been the bane of Tighnari’s existence these past few weeks. He shows up conveniently wherever Tighnari is and Tighnari has no idea why. If the General Mahamatra wanted to arrest him for some perceived slight or suspicion of illegal activity towards the Akademiya, Tighnari assumes that he would have done so by now.
Instead, Cyno sits next to Tighnari while he does his own work or, more often than not, plays both sides of a Genius Invokation card game and tells terrible jokes.
Cyno tells terrible jokes and puns. Tighnari, against his better judgment, falls in love with him.
