Some very angsty "reunions" for Day 1 of Widomauk Week 2019.

Summary
Bren is flagging.
It’s not a surprise, they’ve been expecting it. Ikithon had decided Bren was looking a bit plump, and had cut his rations down accordingly. Bren doesn’t complain- he never complains, this is all part of Master Ikithon’s plan, and if it weren’t important, Ikithon wouldn’t have told him he needed to do it- but even he can admit it’s taking its toll.

Summary
“Your target is Essek Thelyss - Shadowhand to the Bright Queen. A noble of the Dynasty who is well trusted and, perhaps more importantly, in the forefront of the study of the dynasty’s carefully guarded magics, though they do not formally recognize him as such. As you know, the Dynasty poses a substantial threat to all who live in the Empire. They seek to take our lands and impose their cult they claim as religion upon our people. The best way we can avoid this is to gain better access to their magics, understand them, learn how they function so that they no longer hold the upper hand in battles. We have determined that Essek Thelyss is the best positioned to support this goal.” Trent’s scheming smile spread upward expectantly. “So Bren, my protege, I turn to you. Can you achieve this for your country?”

Summary
"Bren and Wulf stood there, helpless. They looked at each other, not knowing what to say. They were just boys after all, how were they supposed to comfort a girl? Let alone one as powerful as her?
Still turned towards the hearth, she spoke. Her voice was back to the controlled Astrid they knew, the determined one. The leader.
“There is something you can do. Both of you.”
Without making eye contact, she made her way over to the foot of the bed. She turned to face them, the rage in her eyes tempered into resolve. She swallowed, and took a breath.
“Come.” Her voice was as quiet and unwavering as all the times before.
Bren’s body froze. But, his mind started running.
It wouldn’t be like the other times. They could see each other now. Was it acceptable for them to do such things in the light, no matter how dim? When they weren’t doing it to survive?"
...
When the trio is locked up in a chilly cell during "training", they strip and cuddle to conserve body heat. It's normal to do it when they need to survive, but what will they do when Astrid asks them to do the same for her after a bad day?

Summary
The people of Blumenthal used to say that they could have been one soul in a past life. Where there was one, the other was guaranteed to be there too. And Bren liked it that way.
He liked it when they would sit underneath the trees’ shade during the summer and read together. And when they would go collect kindling in the woods and instead end up play-fighting with sticks as swords. Or when they would sit in the flower fields and make chains and crowns.

Summary
“A favor is returned by another favor, Liebling,” his mother says. “And the creatures of the woods will always collect.”
Caleb, four years old and bright-eyed, nods as he helps his mother dust a little bit of sugar over the plain cakes she has baked for midsummer. They don’t always have enough, but when they have anything to spare, it goes to the stille Luete. Simple cakes, dishes of cream, little dolls made of straw that dangle like effigies over the fireplace - when they have enough good wood for kindling.
“But be careful not to ask too much,” she cautions. “If a favor is large, the fae can be fickle with their power. Gold turns to straw and the like, I’ve told you that story, haven’t I?”
“Ja, Mutti,” Caleb says cheerfully. “I can be careful.”

Summary
“It’s unfortunate that there is nothing I can do to remedy this. My only recourse is to get over these feelings so we can continue in peace.”
Astrid’s words struck a chord deep in Essek’s heart, and he was hit by a sudden ache. His fingers stilled as he looked down at the women below him. Oh how familiar that thought process was. And so bone achingly sad.
“Perhaps I have a solution for you,” he began, carefully. Astrid glanced up at him, eyes skeptical. “Why don’t you stay the night?”

Summary
Every so often, Caleb likes to Polymorph into a cat, to be able to forget all his anxieties as he roams about as a kitten. And then, every so often, he likes to be a sweet little kitten for his partners, to dress up and be given plenty of attention by those he loves the most. Astrid, Essek, and WUlf are all too happy to indulge him.

Summary
Essek goes home, and there is no one waiting at his door. This should be some manner of relief. But his towers haven't felt like a safe haven for a long time now, long before errant scourgers appeared to harass him with strange questions. He misses the immediacy of that threat, prefers it over the slow and indulgent terror of whatever punishment is coming for him, someday soon.
He tells himself that he misses only that, the simplicity of being unsafe in the company of predators, and that he does not miss the company itself.
(In which a pair of scourgers shows up at Essek’s doorstep and saves him from himself.)
