    Summary

    The king returns after being waylaid for twenty years. A homecoming, and a reunion.

    His Majesty’s eye loses it focuses as he stares off into the far distance, “Have you ever been married good sir?”

    “Yes I have,” Olruggio replies before he could even think to lie. It was a truth intrinsic to his being, one he could never deny even if he were to discard his name and true face. Thrones can be rebuilt. Many have over the years, both before his fleeting time and they will continue long after he has passed. However his heart can not be reclaimed any other. Delicately he has handed his own heart and soul over into the palms of his lover, to be cradled in bramble and rest among the roots the two have laid together.

    “It ruins you, doesn’t it?” Qifrey smiles, ivory thorns and grief wrapped in thistle blooms.
