    Summary

    [Spoilers for C4E31.]

    “You embarrassed me,” Occtis hisses. “You embarrassed me today.”

    The boy is standing over the bed, gaze fixed on the mattress, seeing nothing as his clever mind fixates on some unknown fact of Julien’s prior conduct.

    Julien tries to play the day’s hectic events back through his mind, but their flight from Dol-Makjar was a fearful one plagued by paranoia, so much so that he finds his recall hampered. He’s sure he was an asshole to everyone all day, but he doesn’t remember aiming it at Occtis, at least not on purpose.

    Waiting for Occtis to volunteer information tends to involve more patience than Julien has handy, so he’d might as well ask. “When did I embarrass you?”

    Occtis still doesn’t look at him. “You picked me up like a sack of grain in front of all of our colleagues.”

    Of all the things to have a fight about right now, Julien feels like this isn’t the one he’d personally pick, and a stupid part of him wants to say so. An even stupider part of him wants to point out that that was last night, not today.

    He manages to hold his tongue on these two points, but he can’t keep his ire from his tone. “What did you expect me to do? Leave you behind?”

    Summary

    [SPOILERS TO C4E19.]

    “Copper for your thoughts?” Julien asks him.

    The voice he uses makes Azune do a double-take, low and personable. He finds himself short on words for a second, but forces himself to rally. “I’m trying not to think about anything.”

    Julien laughs. “I know that feeling.”

    Azune is fully capable of not being weird about this turn in the conversation, and he needs to start putting it that skill to work. “It’s been a fucked up few weeks.”

    Julien’s eyes are on his drink. “Yes. It has.” He swirls his glass, watching the rich, dark liquid undulate in the candlelight. “You’re a lot taller now.”

    Azune blinks. “I mean. Yeah. I guess I am.”

    “Well, I’m not.”

    Azune had noticed. “I hadn’t noticed.”

    “Really? I assumed that was what you were staring at all night.”

    Azune’s nerves start to clamor. “I didn’t mean any offense.”

    For the first time, Julien turns to look at him. “I didn’t take any offense.” The playful smirk on his lips is spellbinding. “Much like your height, I just thought it deserved comment.”
