    Summary

    There was a hiss from his quarters, and Emmrich slid the bookcase aside to find Manfred crouched and peering at the wall. It was then he remembered he’d been remiss in getting the hole fixed, and he strode over, only to find that the hole had gotten bigger. It was now about the size of a gold sovereign, allowing one a clear view into whatever lay beyond.

    Emmrich frowned, then watched as Manfred poked a gloved finger into the hole.

    Manfred!” Emmrich’s voice was scandalized. “Please don’t tell me that you’ve been the one widening this out?”

    Manfred shook his head, but he poked his finger back in the hole all the same.


    Emmrich's quarters at the Lighthouse develop a drafty problem.

    Summary

    “I’ve never been in the habit of denying myself things, Rook,” Emmrich said, leaning back. Kostas, jarred by the use of his nickname, glanced about, realizing that Emmrich was still fully clothed and had managed to nearly strip him while he was distracted. “I’m thinking that a change is in order.”

    “A change?” he said, clearing his throat of the catch he found there. “What d’you mean?”

    “Well, I see a feast before me, and I would be remiss if I did not eat my fill, for one,” Emmrich said. He trailed long fingers against Kostas’s neck, pressing gently against the bruise he’d left upon his bite. Kostas gave a muffled curse, and Emmrich smiled. “I intend to take my time with you, my darling boy.”

    Summary

    There was a cruel ache festering in him.

    The presence of his knife, hanging loosely from his belt, felt heavy.

    He hadn’t gone out that day with the intention of using it, but before realising it he had found himself in a secluded spot away from camp with bad thoughts swirling through his head. Maybe this was what he had set out to do without even realising it.
