    Summary

    Orthax may have been the smoke, but there is rarely smoke without fire; the darkness within him that draws such demons close, that lets them take root in his heart, the moral ambiguity that allows him to make those poor decisions, that is all his and his alone, with nothing to blame for it but his own nature. He is not a particularly good man.

    Despite this, despite the fact that he has never striven to be wholly honest, neither does he pride himself a liar. What he'd said to Vex'ahlia that day on the parapets was true.

    He has lost one family. His heart is resilient, the darkness inside of it lends to that, but he will not sit idle and suffer the loss of another.

    Or, the immediate sequel to until all these shiver subside, wherein Vex vanishes, and Percy isn't the best at letting go.
