“Where you are to go, after this.”

Summary
There is a momentary silence as they are all forced to acknowledge that the Mighty Nein – powerful, talented, utterly deranged – have been backed into a corner by forces far larger than any of them.
“I mean…if all else fails”, Beau jokes weakly, “We’re still pirates. We could just…”
“Bail?”
“Ditch the war”, Nott chimes in, nodding sagely. “Bye, guys, it’s been great, we’re out of here – like that?”
“Kind of, yeah”, Beau shrugs. “That’s what I was picturing.”

Summary
Caleb is struck with a thought– an image really– arriving fully-formed and without warning. The pink of his own thumbs, pressed firmly into lavender skin. Pointed towards a navel, towards each other, his hands would form an arch like that of a temple.
Essek would look so lovely in Caleb’s lap, held close and admired properly.
Three hundred and forty-four seconds.
Caleb has to get out of this hug right now. Essek is trying to say "goodbye, be safe, I will see you soon." Essek’s body is not trying to tell him anything.
---
The fact that Essek is staying with him in Rexxentrum is common knowledge amongst the Nein. The fact that Essek is in his bed every night— well, that is the secret part.

Summary
“We ventured too far, considering our unexpectedly low number.” Essek turns his face against the light, as if to let it cleanse some unwanted quality from his expression. Instead, he looks carved in bone, immortalized in frowning marble. “There were … traps. Perfectly clever ones. Still functioning.”
—--------
Essek tries and fails and tries to save the man he loves.

Summary
He thinks maybe it should make him more frightened, that he should worry about the liabilities he has allowed these people to become. It does nothing to temper the joy of being trusted, of being someone worthy of friend. It does nothing to diminish the memory of Caleb’s spellbook in his lap this morning, its owner sound asleep before him; the sweet press of concern behind Jester’s words in his mind the night before as she reached out with sending.
A rabbit walks into a snare. The snare closes around its throat, killing it. What is responsible for its death, the stupidity of the rabbit or the viciousness of the snare’s purpose?
The Shadowhand of the Bright Queen walks into the T-Dock, he thinks, and feels sick.Two months after surviving the ruin of Aeor, Caleb and Essek return to tie up loose ends.
