    Summary

    Essek extended an arm in invitation and caught Caleb’s eye. No turning back now. “Would you like to, um, perhaps-” Light, this was difficult, “Come here? I am warm.”

    Caleb looked at him with surprise morphing into longing, teetering on the cliff’s edge of decision. Essek watched the shift in the set of his jaw as he settled.

    “Ah. D-danke. No.”

    “No?”

    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.

    Summary

    Sleepy wizard antics
    -----
    Essek is lightly jostled from his trance by a soft, accented voice and calloused fingertips skimming his face. He blinks and when the haziness clears Caleb is there, presumably having finally made his way to bed, lying down next to him with his head propped up on one hand. Caleb's other hand rests on his cheek.

    Summary

    She was there, in Vasselheim, and she saw him. Not a little no-name Archivist of the Cobalt Soul, no. Essek Thelyss.
    In the rush of adrenaline, with dunamancy curling lazily in the air, his rioting heart had jumped. His fingers twitched between two times - now and then, now and then, now and all the way when - and he froze.
    Dierta Thelyss' expression did not change upon recognizing Essek Thelyss, once-Shadowhand, traitor to the Dynasty.
    And it did not change for Essek Thelyss, her son, either.

    --

    Essek has complicated feelings about the woman who raised him. 'Complicated' meaning, in this context, that he cannot quite pinpoint which feeling is causing this unceremonious breakdown late at night.
