    Summary

    “I thought you weren’t at all upset about any of this?” 

    “I’m not,” Al-Haitham insists. Stubborn.

    “Well, what happened then? Surely something’s bothering you, or else you wouldn’t be moving your things back and forth in the same spot like that.”

    Al-Haitham’s eyes drop to his hands, between them a box filled with little trinkets—souvenirs from his trips to the desert, no doubt, gleaming gem stones and jagged blocks of stone, the old runes on them barely legible from erosion. Al-Haitham sighs.

    “Nothing happened,” he begins, slow and measured, “I’m just looking for something.”

    The morning after their return to Sumeru City, Al-Haitham’s cover of nonchalance is blown for good.

    Summary

    It's common for Witches to form pack bonds with their apprentices. Witch pups are so young when they typically join an atelier, and their journey to independence is long. Being away from one's birth pack for too long requires a surrogate pack before a pup's mental health begins to decline.
    Coco knows this, but she still cannot help feeling torn between the longing to belong in Master Qifrey's pack with a yearning so strong it sets her teeth on edge, and fear of what this desire means for her bond with her mother, sleeping in stone for who knows how long.
    She's so worried, in fact, that she can't see what she already has. Qifrey is more than happy to set her straight.

    Summary

    “Alhaitham,” Kaveh drawls quietly, the alcohol hitting his system. “Why don’t you touch me?”

     

    Alhaitham blinks. He wasn’t expected to be asked about this, of all things. This goes against everything he had gathered from his observations of Kaveh’s behavior.

     

    “Because… you don’t like being touched?” Alhaitham supplies.

     

    “But I do,” Kaveh whines. “And you never touch me.”

    Or, Kaveh keeps reacting strangely when Alhaitham touches him. In observing why exactly Kaveh's behaving like this, Alhaitham realizes that what Kaveh desires aligns awfully close to his own.

    Summary

    “You bought art supplies.”
    “Yes.” A beat. “Very observant.”
    Blade looked at the bundle. Then at Dan Heng.
    Dan Heng refused to meet his eyes with enough determination that it immediately became suspicious.
    “They seemed useful,” he said, far too casually. “I’ve been meaning to.”
    The tips of his ears were pink, very slightly.
    Barely noticeable. Blade noticed immediately.

     

    -

     

    Blade takes a stroll through Planarcadia's morning market, confronted with all different kinds of craftsmanship he remembers his past in painful detail. Dan Heng notices and decides to buy some Art supplies. For no reason at all, of course.

    Summary

    “Xi-” He starts, before he chokes on his own breath once more, falling forward and causing Paimon to scramble out of the way as he presses his face against the backs of his hands, still buried in the dirt, his mind spinning so fast he feels like he might pass out.
