    "bargain (v.)

    c. 1400, "engage in business transactions, discuss or arrange terms of a transaction; to vend or sell," from Old French bargaignier "to haggle over the price" (12c., Modern French barguigner), perhaps from Frankish *borganjan "to lend" or some other Germanic source, ultimately from Proto-Germanic *borgan "to pledge, lend, borrow" (source also of Old High German borgen; Old English borgian; from PIE root *bhergh- (1) "to hide, protect;" compare borrow)." - Etymonline

    "In folklore of Ireland, the mythic aes sídhe, or 'people of the fairy hills', have come to a modern meaning somewhat inclusive of fairies." - Fairy § Origins, Wikipedia

    Summary

    Rubatosis, noun.
    Definition: The unsettling awareness of your own heartbeat, whose tenuous muscular throbbing feels less like a metronome than a nervous ditty your heart is tapping to itself, as if to casually remind the outside world, I’m here, I’m here, I’m here.
    - The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows

    Summary

    Fed up with the Senate's osik, Fox comes to the realization that the Guard is not technically employed by the Republic. So the Coruscant Guard decides to go on leave. Permanently. What's the Senate gonna do about it? Fire them? As it turns out, you can't really fire people who don't legally work for you. And if the Senate crashes and burns while they're gone, well, that's not really under their jurisdiction right now, is it?

    Or: How Fox and his Corries get their long awaited vacation away from the Senate (and never come back)

    Summary

    "Many stages in Eridian reproductive process. Rocky Adrian laying cycles finally sync up recently. So, Rocky Adrian think finally time for eggs. Adrian lay five eggs, very good. Only, strange thing happen. Rocky only lay one egg."

    “Oh,” I say. “That’s unusual, right?”

    "Very," Rocky hums.

    My throat tightens. "Does that mean there's something wrong? Are you sick?"

    Rocky makes a gesture I usually interpret as "not exactly". "Not sick," he says. "But doctors still worry. When Eridian start to make fewer eggs, this usually means laying period of life is over soon. Rocky very young for this. Rocky supposed to be in ideal time of life for laying. Rocky younger than Adrian, even." He shifts on three of his feet. Already, my mind is racing ahead, wondering -- "Doctors told Rocky to ask Grace, is this radiation side effect, question?"

    Summary

    It hasn't been long since they put him under, and they haven't cleaned him up yet. Soon they’ll scrub the dirt from his fingernails; replace his grass-stained clothing; fix the crooked arm of his glasses from where his head was shoved down into the earth. Any indicator of betrayal will be gone, and it'll be more than a decade before he even has the chance to remember it.

    Selfishly, Stratt hopes that he never does.

    Or: Stratt doesn't say goodbye.
