    Summary

    Lucien leaned back in his chair at the comment and gave it a beat before he cocked his head towards Essek with a leering smile on his face. He folded his arms, keeping his eyes resting on Caleb while directing his next comment to his right.

    “He’s attractive when he’s condescending.”

    He was rewarded by an immediate stiffening of Essek next to him and a flush across Caleb’s face as he coughed and turned away. The tension up the back of Essek’s neck was clear, and his long ears twitched back slightly. Smiling more widely, Lucien turned to look at Essek, who resolutely didn’t meet his gaze.

    “Feisty as well, isn’t he? Hungry for knowledge. Always about books and learning. He said as much himself. Is that how he wound you in?”

    ————

    Lucien picks up on the unspoken tension between Essek and Caleb and uses it to his advantage. Set shortly after E122 Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained.

    Summary

    Essek was never so deluded as to think that his sins would never catch up to him at some point, but even he never expected it to come in this particular fashion, in the form of a powerful attacker from his past coming to his mother with honeyed promises of greater political power in exchange for an arranged marriage with Essek himself - to say nothing of the fact that the man brings enough blackmail material on behalf of certain interested parties to force Essek into playing along on pain of a traitor's death if he doesn't.

    Essek is left alone to stare down the prospect of a nightmarish captive future, and to wonder if he's really considered the forms that a fate worse than death can take.

    Fortunately, it turns out that he's never as alone as he thinks he is. The Mighty Nein are more observant than he gives them credit for even now and they - especially Caleb - make plans of their own to set things right.

    Summary

    Sometimes when you're on the run, scared, lonely, and missing friends, desperate measures are called for. Or so Essek keeps telling himself, every time he shows up at Caleb's in a shape other than his own, that can come and go without questions.
