    Summary

    "It’s a beautiful day at the Soltryce Academy—the sky is vibrant and the trees rustle with the gentlest of winds as Caleb begins his impromptu Transmutation lecture outside. From the building on the edge of the grounds he hears a muffled bell tolling for fifth period. Somewhere in the distance, a student begins to whistle.
    At that moment, Caleb feels at peace.
    At that moment, a Purple Worm bursts forth from the soil directly in front of him, and all of his plans for a pleasant afternoon are promptly dashed."
    ---
    Caleb and Essek have finally settled down - more or less. While the beloved and somewhat eccentric Professor Widogast is busy inciting small student-scale riots and teaching tiny wizards morals, Essek spends his days lounging around the house, drinking wine and experimenting with the exotic concept of 'cooking his own meals'. They are pretty sure life is great - until two pre-teen assassins crash-land into the middle of the Soltryce Academy and demand the former Shadowhand be surrendered to their custody. What are the two internationally in/famous mages to do? The answer will shock absolutely no one.

    Summary

    The Shadowhand has taken a liking to a human.
    That’s what the gossip at Vurmas Outpost says, anyway. Entertainment is hard to find when opening a window is a safety hazard and ‘seeing some fresh faces’ is only possible in the context of unearthing yet another adventuring party that has recently perished while trying to brave the Eiselcross wilds without a guide. Endless white mountainscapes dull the mind, fray it thin, and turn it to the only possible alternative source of discovery inside bleak walls—interpersonal drama.
    Caleb Widogast has a charm about him, some would agree. What is most curious, however, is the fact that this charm seems to work on Essek of Den Thelyss. This is nigh on incomprehensible, even when the evidence is right there before their very eyes.

    Summary

    “In the Dynasty, There are many, ah... stages. Things are drawn out and it’s generally a terribly public affair. It is why I am not very well practiced in being, what is the word in common— Being the primary— the one to initiate and court the secondary. I am, unfortunately, very well aware of all its stages, however.” An eye roll piques Caleb’s attention.

    "Herr Thelyss, were you well sought after in the Dynasty, then?”

    or, a continuation of "and i know i've kissed you before"— during a vacation to Nicodranas with the Mighty Nein, Essek and Caleb play out Dynasty Courting rituals at the expense of everyone else. So, nothing out of the normal for them, just more scandalous hand touching
