    Summary

    “Would you have?” Olruggio says quietly.

    Qifrey frowns. “Would I have what?”

    “Told me. If you had—you know, injured yourself. I’m not sure you would unless you had to,” Olruggio explains. His voice is gentle, his demeanor remains tired, and it’s clear to Qifrey he does not mean it as an accusation. He’s pointing out the obvious.

    Even so, it sinks into Qifrey like stones dropped in stillwater. His mouth wobbles and he ducks his head lower to hide the redness rising to his cheeks and ears. “I would,” Qifrey says. The lie is too easy.

    Summary

    Olruggio was burning, surrounded on all sides by an inferno, betrayed by the flames he always trusted himself to command.

    Something cool brushed his face, a breath of fresh air breaking through the sweltering heat. He turned towards it, reaching for the promise of relief it offered—

    And opened his eyes to Qifrey's worried face, where he was crouched next to Olruggio's bed, hair a silver halo backed by the soft torchlight streaming through the open doorway. Cool fingers pressed against Olruggio's cheeks. The crease between Qifrey's eyebrows deepened.

    "Olly, you're burning up. How long have you had a fever?"
