    Summary

    "Caleb, are you alright? The tunnel must have collapsed. I made it out with a few scrapes, but I can't find you."

    The words come through Caleb's mind in Essek's voice, smooth, controlled, delivered by magic.

    There is no echo of a physical voice to accompany. Essek is too far away to be heard.

    "I am .. I'm alive. Currently pinned under some rubble. I cannot move, see, or cast. Breathing is difficult. Some broken bones. Please come quickly."

    Summary

    Yasha nods again and reaches into her pocket, pulling out the pouch of coins from Thoreau. She plops it down on the counter and just stares at it for a second.

    Fjord blinks. “Did- did you rob someone or something?”

    “Thoreau paid me a bunch of money as a bribe to break up with Beau.”

    Still staring at the pouch, Yasha misses the way Jester’s tail starts to twitch rapidly back and forth until Fjord clears his throat. “Yasha, I love you and I know that can’t be the end of it, but you better start talking fast before I let Jester kill you.”

    Summary

    “Caleb,” he whispers, voice breaking. “I have been caught. I am so sorry.” He swallows hard around the lump in his throat. The blade at his back is almost superfluous; he’s losing blood too fast to survive anyway, and he can feel his mind fogging over. “If you find my body, take me to the Blooming Grove. Please.” Essek closes his eyes. “I love you.”

    Living with Essek Theyless is strange, Caleb finds, after Essek moves into his small cottage in Rexxentrum shortly after the Mighty Nein part ways. Despite the initial strangeness, it proves to be absolutely delightful.

    There are particular moments that stand out to Caleb, where he knows that he’s seeing a special part of Essek that’s reserved for the people closest to him.

    or: 5 times Essek's boundaries break down.
