    Summary

    “Still just as shite at sneakin’ out as y’were when we were boys, eh?” The harsh tone is not entirely how Olruggio planned this. A hurled pyreball of an opener. Well. So much for patience.

    The figure in the hallway freezes. Silent. Caught. “Ah– Good evening, Olly,” Qifrey calls back, still standing half in shadow. The room is dark but for the roaring hearth, casting silhouettes of flames which reach across the floor. He does not answer the question.

    --

    One day, Qifrey decides to become a teacher with little to no input from his housemate and best friend. Olruggio is sick of tiptoeing around all the things they aren’t saying to each other.

    Summary

    Something, equal parts wariness and weariness, stirs in Olruggio’s eyes whenever Qifrey makes some reference to the future — when he indirectly promises a tomorrow, a next week, an ‘after your commissions are done’. It’s the subtlest thing, a flicker, a spark; someone who knew him less well might not pick up on it. But Qifrey knows Olruggio as well as he knows himself, and he can hardly in good conscience begrudge him his flinch of cynicism. Not when it’s wholly his own fault for having put it there.

    Fool you once, shame on me. Fool you twice, still shame on me. Fool you thrice… well, if it’s any consolation whatsoever, I was fooling myself most of all.
    -- -- --
    The night Qifrey returns to the atelier for good after his wandering days — old promises kept, new promises made.

    Summary

    Sinocia blinks at him, then says, "You're quite young for that, Olruggio. Are you sure?"

    "No. That's why I said I wanted your opinion."

    // Olruggio, increasingly aware of and unsettled by the many lapses in his memory, starts keeping a record of his days in order to find out what, if anything, is ailing him. Qifrey doesn't realize what he's doing until it's nearly too late.

    Summary

    "Off to sleep?"

    “You said no bedtimes,” Qifrey cried, pointing an accusatory finger at him. “You said!"

    “Yes, I did.” A decision Beldaruit was already regretting. “It was just a question.”

    --

    Nine-year-old Olruggio and Qifrey have their first sleepover. Beldaruit has feelings. Somehow, they find common ground.
