Summary
He’s so fucking oblivious that it makes Rowan angry. It makes him angry to think that anyone can be as maladapted for life as Somerled is, and it makes him angry that no one has ever done anything about it. Rowan knows that he did something wrong and that Evander should be upset with him, but Somerled doesn’t seem to get it, and it just feels cruel to punish someone who doesn’t know why it’s happening to him.

Summary
“Come on,” Somerled whines, all his own voice again. “You want to kill me or fuck me or whatever. Do it.”
Reason strikes all at once, and Rowan realizes what he’s doing. He’s standing here in his room in Evander’s apartments, with Evander’s wild cousin half naked and hard against him, fingers up his throat, and he wants—
Rowan wants a lot of things he doesn’t get to have, and here is Somerled.

Summary
He would go to the Temple of Rikuhu and pray, but Berath has never met him at their altar. Instead, he goes to sea.
It is several days sailing before the vision claims him, as he lies on his bed watching the whorls and knots in the wood of the ceiling. He has done little else since leaving Neketaka. Aloth has tried in his quiet way to pull Caron out of the darkness he has descended into, and Edér and Xoti have tried in their less quiet ways, but Caron refuses to be budged by anything but the gods.
And the gods bicker like kith.

Summary
"She is the most beautiful woman I've seen. Thin and tall, pale, with dark hair. Her eyes are so black they seem to draw in the light itself. I think I could be pulled into them and never escape."
It's melodramatic, but Caron says it so sincerely that Aloth can't hold it against him.

Summary
So she stands a hundred years removed from everything she was supposed to be, and Link stands ten degrees removed from other people, and they are as different from each other as they are from everyone else, and that will have to be enough to unite them.
They have both lost everything. They are both unmoored. They are barely adults, and they have completed their destinies, been left to do whatever heroes do when their quests are over.

Summary
At least these ruins, crawling with animancers as they may be, bring him one welcome surprise. Caron barely schools his face when he sees Aloth standing in the cage, and the only reason he manages it is Aloth's expression—trapped somewhere between surprise, delight, and fear, if Caron has not forgotten Aloth's moods.

Summary
He thinks he would hate it more than anything, to be deified for this, to be immortalized so strongly as Cartagia wished to be.

Summary
Wary thinks he's desperate enough, hungry enough, that he wouldn't turn down a meal just because the entree wants it, but.
Better not to risk it, because he does want this.

Summary
It is always burning inside him, threatening to eat its way up his throat to fill the world around him with flames. Sometimes he wants nothing more than to scream, to sink his teeth into the nearest person like he's no more than an animal.
He hasn't come this far by giving into those impulses. He has held down the fire. He has pressed it into form, sharpened it to an edge, and turned it into a weapon against the Engwithans.
As if nobody starves in the empire. As if no one is enslaved.

Summary
By the time Waidwen wakes in the field, dawn is staining the sky, and he is no longer only himself.
He can feel Eothas through every part of him. There is nothing left untouched, unknown. Everything is still exactly where it was yesterday morning, every fight he's ever picked, all his anger at his lot, and it's not that he's so far removed from it that he doesn't understand those fights, that anger. It's just that he's no longer that man, and he's not sure who he is.

Summary
He holds the hands of mourners between his own and tells them, gently, warmly, that death is not an end to be feared, but simply what must be. There goest life. There thou goest also. These moments are, frequently, the only time these people gathering in his walls, under his protection, will allow him to touch them.
He doesn't mind. He understands that people look on him and see something horrifying in the great dark growths of his face, the strange texture of his hands, and the hidden nature of his eyes.

Summary
Not that his soulmark was even visible anymore. The scars were a little darker where it had been, on his left wrist. If you squinted just right and you knew what you were looking at, you could tell that it had been three words at one point. It wasn’t much of a loss, next to his fucked-up face. He used his face a lot more often.
