Summary
“You’ve never seen me box,” Tozer finally says.
Hickey looks baffled at that. For a second that’s satisfying enough to make Tozer feel like less of an idiot for saying it, but not entirely. “I have,” he says finally—a reflexive lie, which makes Tozer exhale, exasperated.
“You haven’t. I’d have seen you.”
After everything, Hickey and Tozer make it to Boston. Tozer sets his sights on the ring; Hickey has his eyes on the horizon.

Summary
A lick of satisfaction strokes his belly when he watches Tozer take the cigarette between his fingers and wrap his dry, cracked lips around it where his own had been a moment ago. It might be a fleeting moment, but there is something about sharing a cigarette that can bind, he thinks. Something about breathing in someone else's vapour.

Summary
The cold clings like an aura of sweet fresh air to him, his skin flushed pink, his fluffy hair and whiskers damp with melting frost. As soon as Silna lays eyes on him, he smiles at them, and a sense of security, of serene satiation, expands inside of them as they smile back.
During Silna's imprisonment aboard HMS Erebus, Silna and Goodsir form an emotional attachment through the time they spend together learning each other's respective languages; an attachment that deepens into something they both desire to keep.
