Summary
Kip had never been this reserved for me. Nervous and uncertain, yes, but not reserved. He was still mine, and I needed him to remember that. “What have you to say for yourself?”
He hesitated, and I gave him the time. If he was going to resist the pull of the leash, then I was willing to draw this out as long as necessary to understand why.
“Your Radiancy,” he said, “I have come to beg a boon of you.” He stopped there, waiting. I was frozen, trapped behind you, who held yourself in perfect stillness. The creeping uncertainty was coiling in the pit of my stomach, and I needed you to contain it. When I didn’t answer, he continued. “Your Radiancy, I have come to ask you to remove my collar, and release me from your service.”
---
The long journey home after the Fall gave Kip time to think about the nature of his relationship with his Radiancy, but when he returned to Solaara to ask for his freedom, his Radiancy was not enthusiastic about letting him go. With Kip only partially released from his Radiancy’s service, both he and the Emperor must come to grips with what has happened, and find a way to live with it.Series

Summary
Cliopher attempted many times to explain that his marriage had been one of convenience - she had needed a husband to avoid an awkward situation, and he had been available, unmarried, and willing to sign the paperwork. They both understood that they were free to seek other partners, and the marriage was dissolvable if either of them found someone that they truly wanted to marry.
It wasn’t as if he didn’t want to know if she was alive, particularly when she lived one town over from his cousin Basil, who he also hoped had survived. It was simply that, compared to the great work of rebuilding the world, the sacrifice of not knowing did not feel so great.

Summary
A group of pirates kill a merid, only to find that she was a mer-matron, and they have orphaned her young daughter. Who would they be if they did not save the child?
They wouldn't be the legends they are now, that's for sure.

Summary
As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following:
--His clothing was expensive and stylish;
--He wore very strange but noticeable cologne;
--His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;”
--He looked angry;
--He was wearing sunglasses.What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?

Summary
Cliopher’s throat felt tight, his hands tingling strangely. On occasion, his Radiancy fully embodied the Serenity, so still and impossibly tranquil as though…
“Conju,” Cliopher said, voice low and urgent.
“His Radiancy refused to be in front of you,” Conju rushed to say, “whenever he was, uh, affected–”
“Drugged against his will,” Cliopher interrupted.
(Or: After Cliopher takes his Radiancy on vacation and awakens the inner man within, the priest wizards notice his growing humanity - and take steps to control it ).
