Summary
“It’s rotten work,” he mumbles, flinching away when she brings a cloth doused with disinfectant to his hand. He can’t help the way his shoulders shudder and his feet tap against the sunken floor.
“Not to me,” she fixes him with one of those looks, eyes soft as ever as she looks down at him. He likes how she does that; not like he’s a wounded animal or a shattered jar in need of mending, instead like he’s useful, like he has a purpose in this life and his presence in hers is not redundant. “Not if it’s you.”

Summary
One of the women at his brothel who’d helped raise him was from Lys. She worshipped a love god named Yndros that was both male and female at once, and she was the most beautiful woman in all of Oldtown, or so Satin thought when he was seven. Once, he’d asked her how you were supposed to pray to Yndros, and she smiled serenely and said in a fading accent, “You don’t, sweetling. You just have to allow yourself to love and be loved. That’s what prayer is.” She dabbed at his nose with a cloth. “When we love, boy, that’s the gods speaking back to us. In their sweet tongues.”
She was killed in an alley a year later.
Satin finds himself in a precarious new position. If it weren't such an honour, it might prove desperately inconvenient.Bookmarked by nghtcain

Summary
The guy at the bar next to him—the kid, he couldn't have been far past his teens—was wearing a garish white suit and white shoes. He had a straight nose and a jawline like a knife’s edge, long eyelashes and big, dark eyes. Majima looked him up and down and sneered. Leave some for the rest of us, would ya?
