Summary
He was in the bedroom, and it had to be morning again. She’d spent the entire evening without him, and slept through the night. His hands wrung together involuntarily, a nervous tic—which he stopped immediately, because Camilla didn’t do that, and he was feeling a bit like an intruder, some sort of puppeteer—and he noticed her fingernails were bitten down to the skin. Nona and Pyrrha were not in the bedroom, and he was alone.

Summary
Palamedes’s abilities were undeniable; he could accelerate the healing process in the human body, something non-Grisha were unable to achieve. His mum couldn’t, Camilla’s fathers couldn’t, Kiana couldn’t…and they had all stayed in Khazovo.
If Camilla couldn’t—
(Young Ravkan friends Camilla and Palamedes discover Palamedes is Grisha, and soon their lives begin to unfold apart from one another.)

Summary
“To clarify, Warden, you want to know how the Alexandrites are prepared for deployment,” Camilla said.
“The various…strategies they might apply out-of-system, yes.” He swallowed, painfully obviously, and brushed his hand across Camilla’s waist from where he sat.
-
Palamedes wonders how the Alexandrites might utilize being attractive to diversify the Sixth's gene pool. Camilla gives him a demonstration.

Summary
Pause. What Camilla says next is hesitant, drawn out, and he knows she’s choosing her words carefully. “I have a proposition. Something that could help. If you want.”
“Well,” he says, “I’m listening. What do you have in mind?”
The next time he returns, she’s unbuttoned her shirt, leaving it open and showing the tank underneath. He can feel that she’s warm, or maybe it’s him who’s still warm from being embarrassed. The mechanical drone of the recorder echoes in his ears as he listens to Camilla’s proposal: “If the body is foreign, make it familiar to you. Learn it with your hands.”

Summary
Professor Quinn makes his way to the front of the class, taking what seems to be a deliberate path directly past Pal’s seat—or at least, that’s what he presumes, but perhaps it’s just a coincidence—
Magnus angles his head in his direction as he passes by. “Afternoon,” he says, quietly. There’s the hint of a smile at the corners of his lips, and Palamedes thinks, I’m not going to survive the semester.

Summary
There were odd, still-wet smears on their clothes and hands. It looked as though they’d both been wrestling in some long-forgotten Ninth catacomb.

Summary
The new rooms are large by Sixth House domicile standards—which is to say, not particularly large. The doorway she’s just come through, the one that leads to the attached cavalier quarters; a bed, a desk, a dresser, some shelving; a tiny kitchenette pre-stocked with tea; a second doorway out into the corridor and a third to a private en-suite bathroom; enough oil-derivative carpeting to pace back and forth across, lost in thought, without getting dizzy. Everything, in short, that a respectable scholar might need or want, he said of them, plus the bed on top for good measure.
Camilla’s response was along the lines of, “Sleep isn’t optional,” and his response in turn was something like, “Agree to disagree?” and her response to that was a silent promise to herself that she’d be in at two hours past the start of the night-cycle to check on him and to continue the argument if necessary. Camilla Hect has never been fond of agreeing to disagree.
But then, neither has Palamedes Sextus, really.
(Move-in day, thrice over, or: three first nights with Camilla and Palamedes.)

Summary
Could I lose you? Paul imagined the part of themself that was Palamedes asking the part of themself that was Camilla.
The answer, either way, would be no.
And so, once again, they attempt the impossible.
Five years after the collapse of the River and the death of God, Camilla, Pyrrha, Nona and Palamedes return to New Rho. Palamedes wants to rebuild the school. Nona misses her old friends. Pyrrha tries to broker peace. And Camilla is very studiously ignoring that she has trauma.

Summary
When they arrive in the Master Warden's quarters after the pledging ceremony, a pamphlet greets them on the coffee table. Camilla picks it up and reads the title out loud.
"Practical Guidelines for the young Necromancer and Cavalier on Living Together in an Emperor-Honoring Way."
"Oh, god," says Palamedes.

Summary
The sex had been somewhat accidental, at first. It was a small apartment. You couldn't help but be aware of what other people were doing. And sometimes what they were doing with their limited free time was getting off, quickly and furtively and without much particular joy.
