Summary
King leaned in a bit, conspiratorially. “So what’d you do? If you don’t mind me asking. I’m so incredibly behind on the gossip in these parts...”
If King didn’t find out what Fjord had done directly from him, he’d probably get one of the girls to tell him anyway. Fjord weighed the merits of letting that happen. He’d been sort of getting the impression that Kingsley respected him, so far. If he was going to lose that, it might as well be his own doing.
“I killed Caleb.”
“Hm? What?”
“I killed Caleb.”

Summary
Essek touched his lips again, unable to stifle the smile that had been visiting like a shy bird since last night. Light, he’d kissed him. And Caleb had assured him they’d see each other again tonight– said he wouldn’t miss it for the world– and looked at him like maybe he didn’t want to return to his hectic professor life for the spring semester, like maybe...

Summary
Caleb had been crying.
This shocked speech onto Essek's tongue. "What…?" Unthinking, unplanning, he reached out and found himself cupping the side of Caleb's face. He leaned into the touch, and looked at him with eyes too openly fond for the unspoken thing between them.
"Essek, can I, can I kiss you?"

Summary
Essek extended an arm in invitation and caught Caleb’s eye. No turning back now. “Would you like to, um, perhaps-” Light, this was difficult, “Come here? I am warm.”
Caleb looked at him with surprise morphing into longing, teetering on the cliff’s edge of decision. Essek watched the shift in the set of his jaw as he settled.
“Ah. D-danke. No.”
“No?”

Summary
The vines were vice-like around Caleb's legs, torso and arm, catching him closer, further from freedom and Essek, who was making stifled, pained gasps somewhere just out of sight.
"Essek!"
No response but the echoes of his own voice.
"ESSEK!"
Something in the hallway growled.
"No, don't look for him, Caleb don't call it to you, Caleb, please stay quiet– aihhaugh–" He broke off panting.
Quieter: "Essek…"
"Stay quiet, Caleb, please…" -

Summary
Essek turned to look up at him. “This time you were the one dragging me around…"
“Ja, well, it seemed like you needed it.”
He pressed his lips into a thin smile, blood staining the crease between them, a major injury to his lungs hinting itself through his teeth. “Little healing potion… won't do it…”
“I know.”
“I'm sorry.” -

While cursed, whenever you receive magical healing, you must spend 1 Hit Die to regain any hit points. If you spend all your Hit Dice at any point, you die.

Summary
"I don't know where I was going with this. Or, um." He exhaled slowly, gathering his thoughts. "Yasha, Caleb, all of you, keep telling me not to let the weight of what I've done bring me down... And I, it if was just one thing- but I, heh, keep finding new stones in my pockets, like this. Every day."
"Essek, you're finding new ways to care about people. That's more than I do, most days.” Veth gave him one of her looks that made him forget they were basically equivalent ages, or that she was so much younger than him. She could never resemble his mother, but- “Here.” She handed him a knife. “Start cutting the cucumbers.”
Essek started cutting the cucumbers.Series

Summary
7:15 in the morning, Rosohna time. Four hours and 45 minutes till the execution. 14 hours and 54 minutes till it all reset.
Caleb woke up in his bedroom in the Xhorhaus, allowed himself a moment to hope for any external change, then got up and did it all again.

Summary
"When does it reset?" How much time do we have?
"We have time." Caleb said, but wouldn't meet his eyes.
Oh. "Hold me, please?"
