    Summary

    "Truth be told," Thancred said, "I'd forgotten what it was like." Urianger gave a wordless hum, a quiet prompt to continue. The rest of Thancred's words were barely audible, buried in the pillow beneath him, fading out into a soft murmur of sleep. "Not being alone."

    Summary

    An attempt to maintain consistent contact with the Warrior of Light while he is traveling causes more problems than it solves. [Set loosely post EW, start of patch.]

    --

    “How do you care for the scales?” G’raha asks before he can talk himself out of it. Estinien stretches his legs out until he takes up as much of the seat in the sun as G’raha’s smaller frame will allow, tail a lazy pendulum back and forth where it lies draped across the cushion. “While all of my attention will be spent on ensuring we can reverse this, I would know how best to care for you– that is, your body, in the meantime.”

    Summary

    He doesn’t feel like a SOLDIER right now. Doesn’t feel like much of anything, of anyone. Scooped out and left as a hollow splatter on the concrete. He doesn’t want any of this, doesn't want to be touched or helped or spoken to or seen at all. He wants to stand up and walk away and fix it himself. He wants to be left alone to die. He wants to be held until it stops hurting. For better or worse, he’s not getting anything he wants right now.

    Cloud Strife hits his head really, really hard.

    Summary

    Do you know what sort of man becomes lord commander of the Temple Knights? One who comes from good stock. I did not, yet here I am. Now why do you suppose that is? Because I swiftly learned to tell the difference between words, deeds, and beliefs.

    One moon after their friendship is forged on the shores of Ever Lakes, Aymeric and Estinien are assigned to the garrison of the Dusk Vigil. Within those black walls are allies and enemies both, and the two young knights will have to swiftly learn the difference between them if they are to survive the oncoming winter.
