    Summary

    Qifrey’s future lay in a box, buried by soil and rain. It is only natural that his attempts to escape it return him to the past.

    Or: While chasing the brimmed caps, Qifrey slips through time. He lands outside the Tower of Tomes and finds Olruggio there, young.

    It is the worst night of their lives.

    Summary

    Olruggio just so happened to wander into the kitchen during the dead of night when he caught a sight most curious.

    That of... the room lit only by the full moon's gleam, and a single pyreball lit on the centre of the dining table.

    Qifrey was seated with a cup of tea abandoned before him. He had his cheeks held in his hands, his elbows propped upon the table, and his narrowed eye affixed to the spell as though it were whispering to him the very secrets of the stars.

    How... bizarre.

    Even for him.

    "Uhm, Qifrey? Are you with it?"

    Qifrey learns to relax by staring at pyreballs. He falls into a trance, which Olruggio aids him through.

    Summary

    Let him have his good time, Qifrey thinks, and, conjoined with that thought: he'd have more of them, after all, had he not thrown his lot in with yours.

    Always the one hand, then the other. Qifrey would say he's used to it, but then it wouldn't work, would it?

    Summary

    They'd only just ambled into the Kalhn textile shop when Qifrey caught sight of the short young woman working. She had a round face, rosy cheeks, flaxen hair. Her eyes had locked on Olruggio as soon as they’d entered.

    Olruggio, for his part, thumbed through dyed wool samples as though he hadn't noticed. He likely wouldn't.

    But Qifrey always noticed. Sometimes this left him as a voyeur: staring at someone staring at someone else. But other times, like today, his fixed presence at Olruggio’s side made him an involved party. There was always a delay, then a moment in which Qifrey became visible and the women realized he might be of help. Some of them were too scared to approach Olruggio outright—they’d built up a more intimidating version of him in their heads, had never heard him laugh wildly or watched dimples form when he smiled. Instead, they’d set their sights on Qifrey. Talk to him, or at least look at him imploringly, as though getting in his good graces might earn them the Torch’s attention.

    He never felt like helping them.

    or: Qifrey gets jealous.
