    Summary

    It’s Traveler this, Traveler that. Traveler, your clothes are so odd. Traveler, your accent is so strange. Traveler, you are so different you do all the impossible things that our residents cannot. Remember our dead gods. Remember our false ones, too. Never forget, recordkeeper, your burden is an ancient one and still you are the only one alive who can do it.

    “I miss…” she starts again. “I miss my name.”

    Lumine is tired.

    Summary

    But, when he glances down, he finds Kaveh still nestled on his chest, back rising and falling in a steady rhythm.

    His lips quirk in a smile. The air smells of the two of them, and there’s no small amount of contentment in him to know they’ll both smell like each other for the rest of the day and maybe even tomorrow too.

    Selfish. He has never denied that he is selfish.

    (On matters of scenting and ruts.)

    Summary

    "That sounds more like love to me," Lambad says nonchalantly.

    Kaveh points at him accusingly. "It is not love, it is turmoil. I am in turmoil."

    Kaveh turns to Al-Haitham then, and part of him visibly softens at the sight. "Well, maybe part of it is love," he concedes. "I'm in love with you, Al-Haitham, did you know that?"

    Al-Haitham, despite himself, smiles. It makes Kaveh's eyes widen. "I do know that, Kaveh. You told me a few nights ago, do you remember?"

    "I think so."

    "Good. Then you should remember that I told you to tell me that when you're sober, and maybe then I'll say it back."

    Kaveh squints at him. "'Maybe?' What do you mean by 'maybe?' I have changed my mind. You are a bastard, and I am not in love with you."

    There is no winning with Kaveh. But maybe, there is no losing either.

     

    In which Kaveh keeps drunkenly confessing to Al-Haitham.

    Summary

    Change comes one of two ways; slowly as vines cover a mountain face, and swifter than a monsoon. After the Inter-Darshan tournament, many changes Kaveh and Alhaitham have been ignoring pile up all at once.
