Summary
“I’m sorry,” she says, yet again, at length, fist tightening in his shirt. This time, however, it sounds grave and intentional, rather than just reflexive like previously.
“What for?”
“For… For everything,” she says. “For displacing you when I opened my clinic. For getting off on the wrong foot. For not being better informed about what the Capital did to you all. Everything, I don’t know.”
Matheo doesn’t reply, mostly because he’s not sure how to. If she’d apologized --if she’d even attempted to apologize-- when they first met he would have laughed in her face and told her to go shove a potion bottle up her ass.
Part of him still wants to do that.
--
After the chemist is injured retrieving his notebook for him, Matheo takes her to his clinic, treats her injuries, and tries to come to terms with his complicated feelings for her

Summary
"It was Ozai," he says. "I was thirteen, and he burned me on my knees while I begged him for mercy. Every noble in Caldera was invited to watch. For a long time, I kind of thought everyone knew what happened." He doesn't say that he still kind of thought they knew the story when he joined them, that "for a long time" really meant, "until tonight."

Summary
"There was a woman here earlier," Dimitri said slowly, carefully; navigating his thoughts felt like wading through chest-high water. "She had green hair, and wore church vestments. Who was she?"
Felix gave him an incredulous look, before it melted into irritation.
"That's your wife!" Felix snapped, with enough reprimand in his voice that Dimitri felt a sting of shame.
Once he fully processed Felix's words, however, Dimitri was as stunned as though he had been knocked silly once again.
"But she's beautiful!" Dimitri blurted out.
Dimitri gets hit on the head and forgets a few vital facts. It's not funny. (It's kind of funny.)
