Summary
“Hey, what’s with that expression?”
Feixiao’s voice is something like a river, spirited and unyielding, running over itself a little around the edges. As she says the words, she knocks her shoulder lightly into his.
“It’s good wine. You should be happy to share it.”

Summary
And that is the crux of the issue, she thinks as she watches him eat his meal with bandaged hands. This man is full of contradiction.
Lauds and laurels are draped over his shoulders. He would have no trouble finding a distinguished position amongst the elite in the Court of Fontaine if he so wished, yet even years after fully serving his sentence, here he remains. Such a firm believer in justice but never allowing himself the luxury of forgiveness. He hands out tickets to redemption freely and sees off reformed citizens with a wave and a wish of good luck, feet firmly planted within the confines of Meropide.
Maybe he thinks he’s beyond saving. Rebuilt, rehabilitated, but still ruined at the core. Perhaps in his mind, he’ll always be a murderer.
Sigewinne is used to patching him up, but she's never quite sure if he's left healed.

Summary
The pop of the cap made the glass bottle hiss in the empty room like a back-alley cat, bubbles rushing to the surface and spitting like seafoam. A generous splash was poured into an upturned lid whose jar had long-since shattered. Despite the vague sense of guilt from hiding such a treat from his siblings, the first sip sent a shiver down his spine. He had been loath to brush his teeth, wanting to savor the bright, syrupy sweetness of the Fonta, like his tongue could remember how the drink fizzled in his mouth like sparks off a Gardemek. Papa had smiled at him and ruffled his hair affectionately… then, things get fuzzy.
Before he ever called himself Wriothesley, he received his first scars.

“I don’t know how to tell you this,” Sigewinne said, “But you’re missing a kidney.”

Summary
Wriothesley hugs him close, stroking his hair softly as his love cries. He lets him, no matter how uncomfortable the tears may be. Neuvillette deserves a break, deserves to let himself go, to be comfortable in his own skin.
“Let me be your anchor, release all your burdens on me, don't be selfless and hide who you are just to please the public. We're alone, let yourself go, be selfish just this once. My love, share your tears with me, and I will stay for eternity.”
Neuvillette buried his head into his love’s neck, tears flowing like a waterfall, Wriothesley didn't care for the wet stains, quietly humming to him as he brushed through his snow white hair.
Wriothesley let's Neuvillette be selfish for once, to not let the sky weep for him.
