    Summary

    A quiet chuckle bubbled in his throat, face leaning on the palm of his hand. It was impressive how easily the desert-dweller could switch from his usual vigor to something softer if the situation required it, a tone he had rarely heard before but was starting to be able to count, keep track of. The man blinked, staring at a fixed spot on the wall before shaking his head to return his attention back to the conversation.

    “I might have to ask Enteka if she has anything stronger,” he murmured, “I swear this is just making me more tired”.

    To this, the Wanderer scoffed and rolled his eyes. “Is your cure for exhaustion willingly giving yourself a heart attack?” And then, after a quick cursory glance of the other as if to make his point, he added - “I’ve seen Akademiya students in their finals more put together than you. Did your pretty little eyes miss out on their beauty sleep?”

    Summary

    “Unless, of course, you intended to be found?”

    Wanderer clicks his tongue.

    “I’m right, aren’t I?” Sethos grins. “You wanted me to come get you.”

    Summary

    If Yanqing cannot protect the man who gave him everything, what worth does he even have at all?

    Summary

    Albedo sighs. “They seemed to think that… something else was entailed.”

    “Meaning?”

    It is not an interrogation, but it is starting to feel like one. Albedo knows that Kaeya means well, though—after all, he is only helping him express the topic he himself brought along.

    “What are we, Kaeya?”

    (Or: For the Cavalry and Investigation Captains, this conversation has long been due.)

    Summary

    “Mmm… Are you flustered, Poe-kun?”

    Ranpo is studying him; his grin has migrated to the corner of his eyes as he tries to keep up a serious expression for Edgar—it’s all too obvious.

    “No,” says Edgar, and he does not once stutter when he adds, “But I am rather pleased.”

    (Or: After Ranpo solves the mystery of Poe's new draft, Poe is left wandering just how predictable the great Edogawa Ranpo can be in return.)
