    Summary

    "My friend, surely it's obvious?" Mitya resists the urge to spin on the spot, barely short of clicking his heels. He settles for spreading his arms. "I am in love!"

    "In love?" Valeriy repeats incredulously. "Is that some kind of a joke?"

    "Think what you like," Mitya says breezily, though he is not entirely sure himself. This feeling, like flying, like burning up - he has never been in love before, but he has always imagined it might feel like this. The part where he'd been unsure whether he'd live to see morning, not so much, but he almost enjoyed that the most.

    Summary

    Whenever she inquires more about Alyosha’s hunting rifle, or his work as a hunter, he tends to avoid the question. But Miss Odette, really, it’s not right to expose a nice girl like you to these things. 

    It’s a sweet gesture. It’s an obvious copout.

    Their motherland raised them to be fighters, to find out what makes their heart burn, then light themselves alive for it. Odette has seen more bloodshed in a day than Alyosha has seen in a year, hunting animals and whatever else he is privy to.

    Have you heard? Rumor is, there’s a little wolf haunting the theatre.

    Summary

    Alyosha stands in the doorway, hands tucked politely to himself. A little awkward, and awfully boyish, waiting for permission to enter.

    Odette is the first to speak. “You know, you’re always welcome to stay. But there’s only one bed.”

    After a Fatui reconnaissance mission, Odette finds Alyosha sleeping in the box seats of the theatre at dawn. The next course of action is to invite him into her private sleeping quarters, obviously.

    Summary

    It had to be light, airy—Tartaglia’s sly dance of seduction, spit right back at him. She wanted to avoid giving him the pleasure of knowing she was slipping, but gods, he could be perfectly pathetic when he wanted to, couldn’t he?

    Summary

    Lumine could not resist the inexorable pull of the wintry foreign land she associates with him. It is dangerous and risky to go- she knows that all too well. Just as she knows, too, that in Snezhnaya, the Harbinger's devotion belonged solely to another.

    Still, it does not stop her longing. She cannot have him and yet cannot give him up.
