Summary
Albedo discovers an old drawing of his in a stack of papers – one he’d completely forgotten about.
He recognizes who it is immediately. The alarming part, however, is that he can’t seem to figure out how that could be possible.

Summary
Aino keeps calling for him, anyway. And if he doesn’t come, she sends one of her recon bots to look for him… and you know the rest. Otherwise, what other incentive would he really have to keep returning to the craftshop? He’s gotten what he initially came for, and the rest will not have to do with them. If anything, in the broader scale of things, it will be best to keep them out of his business. Yesterday’s comrades may well come to be tomorrow’s enemies, and so on and so forth.
But little Aino looks at him expectantly upon each of his arrival. He pulls out the container—“La Lettre a Focalors, from Fontaine,”—and watches as her wide gray eyes sparkle with an unassuming vividness to it, snatching the container from his hands in an instant. “Ineffa, it’s chocolate cake from Fontaine!” She yells, and jumps to give the Wanderer a quick head pat, before dragging him with her to the house.
The whole thing is ridiculous, really.
An uncanny partnership, born of desserts and machines.

(a study into the peculiar nature of the lesser lord's relationship with the uncanny vagrant.)

Summary
“Do you think… we can become anything beyond what we’re made of?”
… is the first question posed to the Wanderer, upon reuniting with his new “friend”—the little kid born out of that fictional storybook containing one too many magical energy to be lying around in a random corner of the Akademiya.
The Wanderer laughs. Perhaps such philosophies simply come as a byproduct of creation as opposed to the natural cycle of birth and death—that, for some higher-order reason, they should find themselves being brought to existence, left to grow into the “flesh” that has been given to them without clear instruction as to how. Durin stares at him much like a lost child, like a duck imprinting upon the hen—like his word will come to define his world.
“You were made of ink—printed words, painted shapes,” is all he said, before turning around, sleeves and ribbons swaying gracefully under the benediction of the wind.
Inhuman humans, each somewhere along their journeys for the meaning of existence.
