    Summary

    FRIDA is never not thinking about Fresh Cut Grass.

    It’s like… a half-remembered dream that follows them around all day; like the rousing jig they heard a snippet of in a tavern on their journey to Eiselcross that they haven’t encountered since but can’t forget; like the scent of woodsmoke clinging to the fabric of their coat for days, faint and inescapable.

    [or: a conversation between FRIDA and Ashton at the Spire by Fire.]

    Summary

    It is lovely to see Colton and Calliope arguing in the kitchen, and Clarabelle talking to insects, and his mother trying out new blends of tea. It doesn’t explain why, sometimes, Caduceus will start when they walk too close to him, having forgotten they were there. It doesn’t explain why when he walks into a room while they’re there, he has to pause, because his chest is sore and tight and hurts and he cannot breathe or speak.

    (Sometimes, in the moments after this happens, he can name what is happening, or what he would call it if it were happening to a visitor to the Grove: That’s sadness, it’s all right to need to cry. That’s grief. But he is back here, his family is whole, the garden is thriving—so what need is there, for something like grief?)
