Summary
Ga'ran has long since gotten used to her sister's piercing stare. It lives in her dreams, her nightmares, her every waking hour, and the majority of the ones she's asleep for. A blue that shouldn't be achievable on earth is a sight she can ignore.
But now…now it's not that stare that watches her. This one has that hint of green beneath the surface, a little bit of earth to remind Ga'ran that that boy is oh, so very alive. The Sahdmadhi brat still lives and breathes, beloved by animals and people alike. Those who hate him actually hate his father, but they cannot find that man in his eyes. Nobody sees anything but Amara Sigatar Khura'in in her son's face.
Nobody but Ga'ran.
-
The brat's eyebrow twitches before he gives her a very, very polite smile. "My goodness, torture? Surely my clerical errors are not that heinous." -

Summary
Datz throws himself into a lounge chair. "Yeah, but that goes without saying when you talk about her. It's like saying the sky is blue. The sky's blue; justice always prevails; and Dhurke Sahdmadhi prefers to spend his trials flirting with the prosecution rather than actually defending his clients."
-
Amara tilts her head to the side with a far-off look in her eyes, like she's trying to identify how this conversation will go before she speaks. "My sister will be touring Europe in two days time. I wager that you can't find the finest earrings she has and bring them to me in that time.""You wish me to commit treason?"
"It's not treason," Amara grumbles, "if they're my earrings she nicked and won't return."

Summary
Nahyuta can't help the little laugh that escapes him at the memory of Apollo's favorite sentence. He regrets it instantly, when he feels how it hurts just about everywhere to do much more than breath in and out slowly, and tries to take in enough air to alleviate the pain. He ends up staring down at his lap and clutching at his chest, vision swimming again.
When he looks back up, it's at Dhurke, the disgraced prince consort and leader of the Defiant Dragons, not Dhurke, Nahyuta's father.
"Yuta, you hate wearing your hair like this."
-
There's no singing in the Palace, except for Rayfa when she performs the Dance of Devotion, and the only poetry to be found is in holy books he's read hundreds of thousands of times. It's not like that little house where Dhurke was constantly reciting all sorts of stories, entire eddas and epics beneath his breath, only breaking to mutter lullabies to his sons and daughter. Even now, Dhurke speaks in a rhythm, keeping a time only he knows, ready to sing his children to sleep at any moment. -

Summary
Once they are on a path that is equidistant from the Royal Residence and the surrounding walls, one that has no trees or defenses from which to easily spy on a private conversation, Nahyuta looks at her and asks, "What is it that ails you, Rayfa?"
Rayfa's shoulders hunch and her breath rattles as she speaks. "I had a trial today."
-
Ga'ran's voice echoes faintly in his head, phantom hands taking his jaw and twisting and turning his face to look at all angles, tugging him by the hair to force him into obedience, reminders that he's merely an asset valuable to anyone who wields him: "You're too pretty to stoop to rebellion. Love is inevitable with a face like yours." -

Summary
As quietly as he can, he sets to preparing an evening meal of bread, plain yogurt, and tea. It's suitable for his needs right now, and he has no doubt he will be expected to partake of Her Eminence's richer spreads tomorrow. So long as Her Benevolence keeps breathing, Nahyuta will most enjoy his plain meals made in the dark, with the best of each ingredient offered to the Holy Mother.
-
Her Benevolence sweeps past him without care. "Is there a working kettle in here," she asks, voice clipped and irritated."Yes, Your Benevolence. I'm heating water in it now."
Her Benevolence huffs and stalks over to the kettle, mumbling, "I hate that name."
"Your Benevolence?"
"Yes," she hisses, "I cannot stand it. What am I to you all, a walking prayer book?"

Summary
Nahyuta does not keep a television, but he does have a small radio in his office, courtesy of Her Eminence. He has it set to an international station and lets it drone while he works. Most times it spits out mere drivel.

Summary
It takes approximately six to fifteen minutes for the average adult human male to die from asphyxiation, the inability to take in enough oxygen. Before death, the victim can experience dizziness, nausea, a stroke, a loss of blood flow to the brain, severing of the carotid arteries, and even paralysis as a result of damage to the spinal cord, depending on the method of asphyxiation. In some circumstances, these symptoms are the real killers.
For example, two to three minutes of strangulation by an adult male against a late adolescent male is unlikely to stop the victim's heart on its own. But the pressure exerted against the victim's spine, arteries, and airway can leave the victim breathing and paralyzed for up to several hours before blood loss and exposure kill him. Couple that with leaving the victim on the bank of the harbor at low tide, and death by drowning is almost guaranteed.
Almost.

Summary
A few people know who Superman really is, but there is one thing everyone knows. How could anyone forget?
Superman became Superman when a newspaper plastered its front page with the bold letters, "I SPENT THE NIGHT WITH SUPERMAN." Oh, sure, other papers had run stories—how couldn't they? A man who could fly? A man who could beat back an extraterrestrial animal? A man who saved lives as easy as he tapped his subway card or put on his shoes, that made headlines. But there was nothing quite like that one day, when that one reporter—the plucky one, what was her name again?—wrote a tell-all about the hope of humankind, then used his own words to spin that headline. How scandalous!

Summary
"Are you hurt? Did something happen?" Sue her, but Martha can't help worrying about her boy. She's only got the one, and just because he's not human doesn't mean he's immortal.
"No, no, I mean. Yes, but—I'm not hurt, but something did happen." Clark shifts in his seat.
"And it was so important you had to break into the house before the sun?"
Clark swallows. Martha's heartbeat skips, hops, and jumps. She remembers that Kryptonite poisoning he had when the Luthors' boy tried to kill him—is there more? Did he come back to—to heal? She can put him up and give him tea with honey, but Martha doesn't have the stuff to treat Kryptonite poisoning.
"I'm getting married."

Summary
Part of the point of the Monday morning meeting is for Perry to give them marching orders—who's doing what, and when, and why. Usually it's basic. Sometimes it's not. "Kent, Lane, I want you two to follow up on that link between Luthorcorp and Gotham's underworld supply chains, see if you can get anything substantial."
Clark looks up at Lois with a grin. The air in the bullpen is electrocuted.
This is why it's important to be at the Monday morning meeting.

Summary
It's not that she's not grateful for the help, but man, it is disconcerting when she can call on Superman like he's a genie. Of course, Superman can't grant her wishes three, but between him and Clark's sudden ability to be nearby just as she needs help, she might get one from each.

Or: Clark is trying to be helpful. Lois is confused and easily distractable. Jimmy...is there. He is also confused.

He finds himself in the rain, patrolling, with a cat that has taken to digging tiny claws into his shoulder, and he just has to stand there.
...
This is really ruining his image.

Summary
Whatever calamities she had—being back in Coruscant, the trials of the Senate, testifying, playing power games—all vanish as she breathes in the clean air and hears the faint noises of bugs (bugs!) among the leaves. The soft glow of the lights that come on at night melt her political edges. She does not have to be the Duchess here. She can just be—
"Sati?"
"Ben?"
