Summary
His skin feels too tight over his body; like his heart is being pulled forward, like it could burst through his sternum.
“What are you doing?” he breathes, barely audible. The words feel like they’re coming from somewhere else.
“Being brave,” Caleb replies.

On the eve of Trent’s trial, Caleb calls Essek and asks for a distraction. He doesn’t specify what kind. Essek has always been good at seeing possibilities.

Summary
Essek Thelyss comes to Soltryce to deliver guest lectures and, on the side, cultivate the brand new Archmage of Domestic Protections. He’s hoping that Caleb Widogast will oblige him by picking up his predecessor’s interest in conspiring to steal Luxon beacons, after so rudely murdering Da’leth mere weeks before the culmination of their schemes.
Essek is prepared for espionage. He is not prepared to find a love that will change the course of his life.

Summary
"You are mad," Essek muttered, nevertheless happily running his hands up the simulacrum's body. He glanced over at Caleb, as if to reassure himself he was still there—they exchanged brief smiles, Essek's face radiant—and then jerked his head back as the simulacrum started to kiss his neck. "Mad and maddening."
Caleb has been working on a new spell. Essek finds out.

Summary
Essek barely allowed him to step into the main floor. Lavender fingertips pressed to Caleb’s chest, backing him up to the door and shutting it behind him. Though Essek was extremely underdressed compared to Caleb in his undone hair, bare feet, and casual wear, he pulled himself up to his full height –still several inches shorter than Caleb when not floating– and glared up at Caleb with a well practiced indignant facade.
“You, young man, are a Light damned tease.”
