    Summary

    “Your robes are very beautifully made,” Xie Yun says honestly, doing his best to speak the same dialect and choosing not to mention any of the horny thoughts he’s currently having.

    The being gives him a withering look. “Did you summon me to compliment my robes?”

    Xie Yun blinks. “No?” he offers, feeling very wrong-footed, which is not a way he’s used to feeling.

    The being straightens their shoulders and nods. “Who do you want me to kill, then?”

    Okay, that is a pretty significant escalation. “No one?” Xie Yun tries.

    The being frowns at him. “Then what did you summon me for?”

    Xie Yun decides that having this conversation while lying propped on his elbows on the floor is undignified, and he pushes up to sitting. “Pardon me, honored guest, but I didn’t summon you.”

    Or: Xie Yun accidentally summons a demon, and gets way more than he bargained for... but not in a bad way.

    Summary

    This remarkable letter of unknown provenance surfaced recently in the cuneiform collection of the University of West Wessex. Addressed to Azirapil from a Mr. “Crawly,” it appears to be begging for the other’s return to Ur from a western journey with another individual, Abiraham. The relationship between the two (brothers? business partners? friends?) is unknown.

    Summary

    Kip Mdang returns to Solaara, hardly confident that the Imperial Service will take him back but sure that there is no place for him in the Vangavaye-ve.

    The City of Cities is still expanding from the backwater village it was before the Fall; the work of reconstruction continues but it is no longer a simple crisis. In the Palace the big political beasts are circling for position under the newly awakened Emperor.

    Despondent and determined to bury himself in work, Cliopher finds his former patron disapproving and the new Master of Offices openly hostile. But he is still a fifth degree secretary, and some problems are easier to solve when you feel that you have little left to lose... and don't care which enemies you make along the way.
