Summary
Sinocia blinks at him, then says, "You're quite young for that, Olruggio. Are you sure?"
"No. That's why I said I wanted your opinion."
// Olruggio, increasingly aware of and unsettled by the many lapses in his memory, starts keeping a record of his days in order to find out what, if anything, is ailing him. Qifrey doesn't realize what he's doing until it's nearly too late.

Bookmark Notes:
"Finally, Qifrey stands. Olruggio backs away, shoving his palm quire and pen deep into his skirts. Qifrey can't stand to touch him, so surely he won't go pawing through his clothes to burn the evidence.
The fire glances off his pearly left lens, and Qifrey balks. His hands are partly raised out of his cloak, like he'd been moving to take Olruggio by the shoulders. His expression is shattered. He watches as Olruggio puts as much space as he can between them because not yet, not yet, Qifrey, tell him what it is you cannot say.
And then—because the two of them feel a thousand years old and yet no older than the age they first met—Olruggio asks, without thinking, "What have I done that you cannot come to me when you feel like your world is ending?"
Rustling fills the kitchen. Olruggio believes it to be the swaying of trees outside until he hears thick, woody crackling, especially when Qifrey's hand darts to snatch his hat from the hearthside table. Even as he speaks, his voice is nearly eaten by the sound of green, mutant growth—and Olruggio stumbles back in shock as leaves worm their way out of Qifrey's face, stretching, prehensile, into the air between them, reaching for Olruggio.
"Nothing," says Qifrey, his body looming to block all firelight as he raises his hat over Olruggio's head. Viscous golden sap streams from his right eye, where there should be an empty socket, where there has always been an empty socket. Part human, part tree, all grief. "You've done nothing of the sort, Olly, you're the best there ever—""
