Summary
That thing between Caleb and Essek is indescribable, ever-evolving and everything.
Pieces of a life as described in the final episode.
(I promise there is a hopeful ending, but the middle gets pretty heavy so be mindful of that before reading.)

Summary
There is warmth in his gaze and the utmost patience. Essek had seen those eyes brighten when presented with a new puzzle to solve, narrow as he focuses on something, fondness when looking towards any other member of the Mighty Nein, and darken with determination when facing some trouble. He has also seen these eyes wide and empty, staring at nothing after having been torn through by the demonic wings of Lucien.
Essek tells himself that the anxiety he feels in the pit of his stomach has everything to do with the cats and the cats alone.

An examination of the relationship between Caleb and Essek after the end of the campaign.

Summary
There is a gravity that has pulled them together many times. It pulled Caleb’s lips to Essek’s forehead, and Essek’s hands to Caleb’s arms when a tower collapsed upon him. It pulled Caleb to Eiselcross, now, to be at Essek’s side as his life as the Shadowhand dies.
Now, it could pull them together into Aeor.
(Two wizards venture into Aeor - and find that something has woken in the dead city's depths. Something dangerous. Something that will force them to decide what their pasts mean to them, and what they mean to each other.)

Summary
Caleb’s chin pulls back from Essek’s shoulder and his laughter rings out, bright and burning. “This is the most wonderful surprise! I could kiss you right now!” And for one wild moment Essek thinks he might.
Caleb and Essek finally speak past the metaphors.

Summary
Essek returns, when he can, to the sanctuary of Caleb's home. The peace of it is a balm against the tedious peril of the road, which has more misery to share than Essek had ever thought. It's nice to have a place where he can lose himself: in a book, in arcane study, in the confusing allure of Caleb's smile.
It's nice. And the cats miss him, Caleb says.
