Summary
“hello, essek.”
“ah— i— hello, mollymauk.” it’s late summer— hot, almost muggy. essek isn’t used to the weather in the empire, even now, doesn’t like the idea of being seen. jester knows, he thinks, that he comes here; she’d gotten him the cloak he’sd wearing now, a thin, gauzy thing that’s still opaque and lets in the rare breeze.
more of molly’s body seems to be fungi, now— he has the urge to compliment caduceus on his work. their time together has exposed the body to the air, and now patches of pale pink lichen crawl over the ribs, the curl of one horn. the jewelry, now cleaned, is bright in the sun.
“if you’re surprised i know it’s you, well, i don’t know anyone else who’s in line to dig up my corpse and talk to it.”
essek winces. “i suppose that is fair.”
(essek pays another visit)

Summary
“orlyyy, i—” jester pads in from the back room, lollipop stick hanging from her mouth, and she just sort of freezes in the doorway, eyes widening just so.
god, she’s pretty— skin the same deep blue as the big hanging tapestries in dairon’s studio, curls of dark hair sticking to her cheeks and neck in the summer heat, strings of silver dangling from her horns, her ears. purple eyes, this indistinct dreamy sort of color, trained on her from across the little room so suddenly she feels somehow immobilized.
“hi,” she says, and circles around the bench, eyes still a little wide— later, she’ll tell beau, lying on the floor of beau’s apartment with beau’s head in her lap, that she’d been trying so hard not to look like she was checking beau out. ‘i totally was, though,’ she says, and cards her fingers into beau’s hair. ‘how could i not?’
(beau gets a lot of tattoos from jester)

Summary
Fjord goes quiet. Turns his head toward Caduceus, who has decided that it is in his best interest to stare at the fire right now. “Why?”
“It’s misery, and it’s new misery, but it’s… misery I can deal with, misery that doesn’t hurt you. I could… y’know, I could settle down at the lighthouse temple on the Coast. Have a garden outside.” Involuntarily, he smiles, just a little. Were it not for his duties, for what he owes to his family, he really would enjoy this sort of life. But, well. So it goes, he supposes. But then, another thought he can’t resist, because he’s always thinking stupid things like this: “Some beehives, maybe.”
(or: On watch, Fjord asks about an offer, unmade.)

Summary
It doesn’t take very long for the Nein to notice.
Yasha is quiet, but she isn’t subtle. There’s a weight to her footsteps that wasn’t there before, a hunch to her spine that suggests she’s trying to take up less space. Unless it’s to instigate an apology (another one), she doesn’t speak unless spoken to.
(or; yasha needs a hug)

Summary
“I think Fjord has fallen in love a little bit with the idea of who this new version of himself is. And being vulnerable and telling people what your biggest fear is and admitting all the ways that you suck, in addition to all the new reasons that you really suck, it’s like one step too far. Plus, I mean, he gave it a day, right? He didn’t just up and fucking run out in the middle of the night, although I was on the razor’s edge of just tearing off into the darkness.”
-Travis Willingham TalksMachina C2E61
No matter what happened, Fjord couldn’t tell the them the truth.
What would he do if his friends learned that he had become powerless? -

Basically, Beauregard asks Caleb a VERY similar question and Caleb thinks about it during a stressful moment. -

Summary
Conciousness is...fleeting.
There are moments - brief and painful - when Delilah wakes from whatever stasis she's being kept in. Moments where she catches a shock of white hair before her entire being is racked with pain and riddled with holes.
And then she dies, and then she wakes.
