Summary
It is easily one of the top five most awkward dinners Caleb has ever attended. Everyone realizes very quickly that having the Empire’s Archmage of Civil Influence and the Dynasty’s Shadowhand at the same table means that not overstepping any lines is of crucial importance, and thus the conversation takes a rapid turn for the hilariously banal.
Astrid kills Trent while the Nein are in Aeor. Caleb returns to Rexxentrum to make some peace with his past and make some sense of his future.
There is never a simple way to stop loving someone.

Summary
“Beauregard – you said she is outside?” Essek half-turns in the direction of the front door. “Should we invite her in?”
It feels like there is something stuck in his throat. “In a moment. She is, ah – giving us some space.”
Essek turns back to stare at him. Repeats quietly, dangerously, “Space.”
Caleb forces himself to swallow. “Yes.”
Essek’s attention is a palpable thing now, sharp like a knife’s edge against his cheek. “Explain.”
One moment makes all the difference during the battle at Blumenthal. In the aftermath, the Nein grapple with what comes next.
