    Summary

    In this vile symbiosis, perhaps there was an evolution: the parasite has realized it does not wish to kill Qifrey fast, lest it lose its primary source. It has grown slow, ignorable.

    He does not feel it, and he feels it, or is that his eye, the ache in his cranium? What is cause and what is effect, will he unravel, here, in front of his apprentices, his cap a staircase away?

    (or, qifrey’s no-good, all terrible dinner.)

    Summary

    Qifrey tips his head. "Do you dislike it?"

    A pause. "I haven't tried it." Olruggio's tone is odd, slightly clipped. Qifrey can see him biting at the inside of his cheek. "It laces in the back, you know."

    "Oh," Qifrey says. "Should I— That is, would you like help?"

    Qifrey provides a remedy for Olruggio's back pain, with some strings attached.

    Summary

    “I don’t care what it is,” Olruggio says, and is certain of the truth of this, just as he is certain: “I can help. Let me help. Whatever you’ve done, whatever you’re doing, I forgi-“

    Qifrey’s hand pushes over his mouth.

    --

    Qifrey gives Olruggio a lot of mixed signals in very short succession.
