    Summary

    "How has it come to this? Orym wondered. How did we get to a point where I know them so well that when they’re hurting and distressed and can’t even speak, I know exactly what they’re trying to tell me?

    Looking down at Ashton’s face, Orym was nearly struck breathless with the realization that he’d experienced something similar with Will. How could he anticipate Will’s next move and battle and how effortlessly he would move. How the two of them operated in tandem, practically sharing breath. What it felt like to look into Will’s eyes and see love and reassurance and care–for him–in them, and feel safe enough to give that back so freely.

    And now Ashton, even in the most stripped-down version of themselves had the same look in their eyes. "

    --

    Ashton is hit with Feeblemind. In the time it takes to get them a cleric and to get Ashton back to themselves, Orym realizes just how much their earth genasi companion means to him and learns, without a word ever being spoken, of how much he means to Ashton.

    Summary

    “An ordinary snail?”

    “Yes, just to start with.”

    The snail still looks quite ordinary, as far as Caleb can tell. Its little eyestalks sway and wave as it continues its unknown mission across Essek’s research. He clears his throat. “Hm. My friend, how long has it been since you have rested?”

    Summary

    Caleb finds that he has little cause to think about Essek after their expedition to Aeor. Why would he, they are only occasional allies after all.

    (A question currently unanswered - are you a monster or a martyr if you betray him to spare him?)
