    Summary

    Verso shifts on his feet, jaw tensing. He’s sticking his neck out for the stroke of embarrassment, but perhaps that doesn’t matter. Not when it’s Gustave laughing at him. “Well, I’m asking.”

    Gustave looks over at him now, demanding attention. Verso can only give it. “Asking me what?”

    “Are you going to make me say it?” Verso asks, quieter, tilting his head.

    “Could I?” Gustave looks curious. “Make you?”

    Summary

    He hums, looking down at his dangling feet.

    “Jumping’s no good. Breaks your bones and leaves you gasping.”

    “That’s …” Gustave stops behind him. “Hm. Joking about death is less fun with you.”

    Like a good contrarian, Verso raises a finger in the air.

    “I’d argue it’s more fun with me. Lived experience, and all that.”

    “That is a choice of words,” Gustave chuckles sardonically. A pause, as the breeze fills the space between them. Ruffles through Verso’s hair like a friend. “How many ends have you met, then?”

    Summary

    Verso is rinsing out his spare shirt in the river when he hears crunching footfalls on moss. He continues his idle work, which really was little more than an excuse to let the rattled Expeditioners stew over their situation in peace. The steps pause somewhere behind him.

    “Sneaking off already?”

    A man’s voice—it has to be Gustave, Maelle’s guardian. Strange to think it’s the first time he hears it.

    Summary

    Theirs was a family of strong wills. It was frustrating, at times—Clea did recognize the irony. The draw of sculpture was in the satisfaction of molding clay in just exactly the way she knew it should be molded. Even painting couldn’t give her that same control. But outside of the workshop, no one listened to her, Alicia least of all. They listened to Verso, of course; he’d spent his painting lessons daydreaming and come out the other side with a honeyed tongue. Clea could mold clay, bend metal, paint any image she wished exactly as she wished it. But by the time she was old enough to realize talent and dedication weren’t enough to bend the world to her will as well, it was too late.

    Three conversations Clea and Verso have about their sister.

    Summary

    Mist is an adult. She's fought in two wars now, everyone comes to her for help, and she's kissed a girl. But as the mercenaries and their friends march north after the end of the war, Mist finds herself frustrated that no one is taking her seriously. The worst offense of all is that not long ago, she and Jill were friends and equals -- and now Jill spends her time with Lethe and looks at Lethe in a way that she doesn't look at Mist anymore. As they prepare to all go separate ways, Mist finds herself wishing she could just be taken seriously -- so Jill would see her as a potential partner, too.

    // or, a character study about Mist, longing for someone, and the worry that you will never measure up.
