Summary
Cyno is swept into a much-needed getaway in Port Ormos; with Alhaitham as his unlikely guide to the art of leisure, he finds himself - against all odds - quite enchanted.
Or, a study in wild gardens, moonlit detours, and fruit at the height of the season.

Summary
Cyno’s eyes narrowed. “How much do you know?”
“More than you, it seems,” said Alhaitham. A beneficent smile flicked over his lips, measured like a tock of a senapati piece placed on the mango-wood chessboard.
He’d be a little more charming with a little less power, Cyno thought idly, and watched Alhaitham pop a date into his mouth.
General Mahamatra investigates a lead cutting too close to home - chaperoned by one bibliophilic maven and his two unlikely accomplices, each seemingly tending to their own personal intrigues. But in the desert's sand, every step forward may sink them a foot deeper.
Or, Alhaitham's intimate study on the hollowness of a water lily's stem, and the fullness of his own heart.

Summary
“Come on, Cyno,” Alhaitham said quietly, “you’re sharper than this. That mystery person, the one that distracts you so. Who are they?"
Cyno went very still. “No one,” he said.
Once upon a time, Cyno lets himself wish; the entire sky listens.

“And where would you like to go?” Diluc says weakly.
“Fontaine,” declares Albedo, and it leaves Diluc aghast. Then Albedo adds, innocently, “I’ve heard their gâteau basque is magnificent.”
Diluc and Albedo are headed for Fontaine: according to Diluc to solve a criminal case, according to Albedo - to investigate local confectioneries. Ask Lisa, and she’ll tell you it’s all about an elopement.
To a degree, none of them are wrong.

Alhaitham closes his eyes, then.
“Love,” he says. “You see, I would know you blind.”
Alhaitham tends to run off. Cyno tends to run mildly concerned, if only about the poor state of Alhaitham's footwear.

“Did you imagine it, at all?” Cyno asks, slowly.
Alhaitham’s hand stops, heavy on Cyno’s skin.
