Summary
There is something incredibly flattering about the thought that one of the most gifted mages Caleb has ever known has found one of Caleb’s own spells worth figuring out for himself.
Essek turns from the arcane doorway shimmering in blues and violets before him with the smug appearance of the cat that got the cream. “I did some noodling, as you call it.”
“So you did,” Caleb says faintly.

Summary
“I would like you to know me,” Caleb says.
It feels like a secret. Like the darkest part of him cracked open; all his months and years of hiding, of wrapping his arms and scratching the bindings, of not loving, not loving anything but an unkillable cat — it’s unraveling around him. He feels naked. He feels the way he did the first time Pumat Sol spelled him clean.
“I find that — I would like you to know me,” he says, again.

Summary
“Widogast, we practically live in each other’s pockets. I was only gone for the day to run errands with Yasha. You could not have possibly missed me that much.”
A wave of uncertainty sweeps through Caleb. Essek… lives here?

Summary
“Are you ready?” Jester says, her face more somber than Essek has ever seen it. She holds her hands over his head, prepared to cast.
“I…” He takes a breath. Then another. “Yes. Yes, I am ready.”
[In which Caleb and Essek choose to forget, but somehow find their way back to each other all the same.]
