    Summary

    “Peter,” Nightingale says, “it’s nothing, I assure you, it’s -” he steps towards me as though he’s trying to comfort me but wobbles, swaying on his feet. I lean in to steady him without even thinking about it, catching his elbow and keeping him up, and, as I grab him, Nightingale makes a long, low moan.

    “Um,” I say, and Nightingale looks mortified.

    Summary

    It was a fairly common thing, actually. That moment when the danger has just passed but the adrenaline hasn't quite worn off. When you've saved someone, or been saved, or just jointly managed to not die.

    Summary

    Speaking the words of an oath isn't what makes you a good paladin, and knowing how to tell lies is only part of what makes a great con man. Where do they find common ground?

    Well, turns out they both know how to commit to the bit.

    Summary

    “For the crime of attempting to parlay, the hag has cursed me to fall prey to my most bestial urges. Either to secret myself to the woods and there lose my mind, or else to succumb to overwhelming desire for the first creature to touch me. It is why…” Here, a spark of Xenk’s old self-righteousness flares in his eyes. “...I begged you not to touch me. And now here we are.”

    “In my defense, you weren’t really coherent,” Ed says weakly.

    Three months after the defeat of Sofina, Xenk shows up on Ed's new doorstep needing help with a very specific curse.
