Summary
“We were talking about Bellara’s romance serials, and she asked about our most memorable first kisses. Davrin fought a pack of gurguts to impress a boy, Bellara was floating in midair, and I got fished out of the harbor.”
“It wasn’t really midair, it was really more like two or three—”
“Anyway, Rook says her story is boring, but it’s taking quite a long time to tell,” Neve concludes. "I'm on the edge of my seat."
During an evening's game of Wicked Grace, Rook tells the story of a first kiss. Emmrich takes note.

Summary
It’s not that they’re avoiding telling anyone—or at least, she isn’t, but she hasn't told anyone either, and Emmrich doesn’t seem to be in any hurry to say anything. Neither of them has been asked directly. She just doesn’t know what one is supposed to say. ‘The other night when Emmrich and I went to the Memorial Gardens, we kissed, and intend to do more so in the future’ seems an odd thing to declare unprompted.
Rook and Emmrich enjoy their privacy while it lasts.

Summary
She was surprised to learn the others thought Emmrich rather staid when they first met him. It was obvious to her that he is Nevarran to his core; he doesn’t pursue his passions ostentatiously, but he is no less joyful or ardent for it.
To be the object of his fervor can be, at times, overwhelming.
Rook and Emmrich live fully in the moment, while they're able.

Summary
A number of the most famous treatises on the nature of necromancy point out that life magic, too, works on the body, drawing on its energies, potentially touching the blood with arcane power, but no one would accuse a healer of blood magic simply for practicing their art.
Emmrich goes down during a fight with Venatori. Rook goes to get him up.

Summary
“Is something the matter?” she asks softly, once they’ve got to the corridor.
“Quite the contrary, my dear,” he says, but it isn’t until they’re in the library—and it really is quite an impressive one, a long, warmly-lit room with two stories’-worth of valuable-looking volumes—and he’s guided her into an alcove among the shelves that she takes his meaning.
Rook and Emmrich make some time alone at a rather large party.
