    Summary

    Essek's hand settles on his belly, rubbing in small, uncertain circles. An idle gesture, but one that strikes Caleb as achingly vulnerable, though he can't quite put a finger on why.

    “I would do anything,” Essek says, low and fierce, “for all of us to have a little more time.”

    [In which Essek joins the Mighty Nein in the fight against Lucien--but none of the Nein know that Essek is pregnant with Ludinus's child.]
