    Summary

    “He hasn't saved - you know what, never mind.” Occtis sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose. “Julien has a particular set of people he’s very protective about. I happen to fall into that category because he needs me to get back at my family. That’s it.”

    “Get back at your family.” Thimble repeats flatly. “The same family he let get away right now to burn himself for you?”

    Or: Thimble realizes Julien isn't as nonchalant about Occtis as he'd like to claim. Whether or not *she* is, is absolutely besides the point

    Summary

    Essek goes home, and there is no one waiting at his door. This should be some manner of relief. But his towers haven't felt like a safe haven for a long time now, long before errant scourgers appeared to harass him with strange questions. He misses the immediacy of that threat, prefers it over the slow and indulgent terror of whatever punishment is coming for him, someday soon.

    He tells himself that he misses only that, the simplicity of being unsafe in the company of predators, and that he does not miss the company itself.

    (In which a pair of scourgers shows up at Essek’s doorstep and saves him from himself.)

    HAL (internally)
    Do you always think like this, or should I be worried?

    BOLAIRE (internally)
    (Angrily, to hide the terror)
    You should be worried! You put me on!
    (A beat of inarticulate rage.) (To hide the fear.)
    What if I had hurt you!

    (That's the heart of the matter. That's always the heart of the matter.
    What if he hurt HAL.)
