    Summary

    “My humble apologies, Imperator,” Hysilens says, her voice rasping unpleasantly—still so unaccustomed to the human tongue. She clears her throat, pressing a hand to her chest. “To see that fish in the blackness where the sun’s rays dare not shine… it is as a star; radiant in the depths of the sea. Not unlike your blazing light, which guided me to shore.”

    Cerydra takes a long sip of her glass, only to fall silent. Golden ichor drips from the corner of her mouth, and Hysilens resists the urge to reach out, and…

    “Were you truly so allured?” Cerydra murmurs, shattering the silent moment almost off-handedly—which is strange—no action of the Imperator's is impromptu in the slightest. She is an angler, a chessmaster. She is patient, composed, and she does not err lightly.

    But Cerydra blinks as she looks to Hysilens, as if she too is struck with momentary surprise at her own tongue. Her breath is sweet, and warm against her siren’s scales. And Hysilens nods.

    “Yes,” she whispers, for none but her light to hear. “I was.”


    "Twist the knife, Helektra."

    Summary

    “But you’ll have to agree that I am furthest from ordinary than anyone else in our pavilion.”

    Dainsleif exasperated, “When did I ever say the opposite? Dynasty, I had no idea how foreign a concept kindness was to you.”

    “What reason do you even have to show me kindness?” Surtalogi demanded.

    “There isn’t always a reason, Surtur,” Dainsleif mumbled. He was too tired to mind the nickname slipping, the fondness he so adamantly swallowed down seeping through the cracks of his facade. “Sometimes you just do.”

    Dainsleif hurts and heals in more ways than one.

    Summary

    That’s just how Lauma was — a caretaker, to a fault. Only Nefer didn’t particularly like being cared for. “You should go back to the Frostmoon Scions.”

    Lauma chuckled lightly. “Good morning to you, too.”

    -

    After the fight with Rerir, Lauma stays by Nefer's side as she recovers.

    Summary

    “I don’t like this outcome,” Lauma had said. Sweet, irrational, exactly what Nefer would expect from her.

    It’s almost ironic, really—that the first thing she saw when her vision returned days later was the very expression she’d secretly hoped to see: Lauma’s relief, soft and unguarded, painted in the light of an early morning sun.

    “What’s the damage?” Nefer had demanded, not daring to look in a mirror yet.

    And Lauma only chuckled, shaking her head. “Absolutely nothing. You’re perfect.”

    or, Nefer and Lauma, a few days into the aftermath of saving the entirety of Nod-Krai, figuring things out as they come.
