    Summary

    He didn't indulge in sweets often, not in a long while. And never like this.

    It was like just his mother's, and it wasn't.

    So different from how he remembered, yet it warmed him from the inside out, just as it did when he was a boy.

    It tasted like Ariadne. Her bite. How she burned down his throat and boiled in his stomach. An addictive delight, tinged with the inescapable aftertaste of regret that plagued a treat. Something that tasted too good to resist, though he knew better.

    Her heavy-hand, and decadence.

    Her affection for him, overwhelming as it was unapologetic.

    He didn't need his mother's torte. He needed hers. And now that he got a taste, he was ravenous.

    It awakened something so deep-seeded within him he didn't recognize it at first. He didn't know how to appease it. Dredged from his depths, it ordered his acknowledgment with the same loud insistence that begged her consolation.

    All he could do was reach for her.

    Summary

    "Their corpse proved quite stubborn."
    He presented her an opportunity, and she grasped at it in desperation.
    "I'm surprised, you're so very good at taming stubborn."
    Her playful attempt at schmoozing won a stiff snort, and nothing more.
    "Oh..." Breathed with a coy lilt, she feigned innocence that could have been believable, if she were anyone else. "Are you still cross with me?"
    Stealing another gulp, he sneered against it's bite. The strength of which smoked his voice to a heady resonant.
    "Back during your apprenticeship, when you disobeyed one of your superiors, or spoke back at them out of turn; in what manner did they see fit to punish you?"
    A preemptive attack from which she was slow to recover.
    "I... got a good tongue lashing." Her words were tight from a throat that fought against their release. "A common occurrence, I might add."
    "Just as I suspected." After a breath, he then angled a brow down into his drink. "The correction of your behavior falls into my lap after all."

    Summary

    The hour was late, and the thought of disturbing her nagged with apprehension. Surely she didn't require his company, nor his consolation, when she had such a treasured, sororal bond with Neve. Yet he found himself taking the long walk down the corridor to her quarters nonetheless.

    'Perhaps reminiscing of home will offer a welcome distraction, if only for a short while.' He assured himself. 'A comfort that I am uniquely disposed to provide.'

    All thoughts of Nevarran eccentricities and their hopeful nostalgia halted as he arrived at her door. It greeted him with an alarming sound.
