    Summary

    It’s the most at ease he’s seen Caleb be in a long time.

    Essek doesn’t realize he’s staring, in– in shock, perhaps, just because this is the most carefree he’s seen the wizard outside of spellcrafting and transcribing, until a shadow looms up over his shoulder and startles him back away from the polymorph antics ahead of them.

    “Oh,” Caduceus says. “I don’t think I’ve seen him be a dog.”

    Summary

    The more Verin dug into it, the more convinced he became. Essek had spent an inordinate amount of time with the Mighty Nein when they came to Rosohna. Done all sorts of strange favors for them. Ferried them all over Wildemount. Arranged visits with prisoners in the Dungeon of Penance. Let them dig up his yard. Descended into Aeor with them, unaccompanied. Accepted invitations to dinner. Let one of them hug him. In public. More than once.

     

    Mind control. It had to be.


    Verin gets it into his head that Essek has been kidnapped by the Mighty Nein (specifically Caleb), and sets out on a solo rescue mission to Rexxentrum.

    Hijinks ensue.

    He learns this when he unexpectedly finds himself a 40-foot long lizard with tiny arms and a brain the size of a walnut.

    Summary

    "I am not consecuted," Essek whispered. 

    Caleb blinked. "You're not?" Shock stabbed through his insides like an icy lance.

    Summary

    “That’s right, love.” Caleb—Essek’s Caleb, the one who loved him—whispered in his ear. It sent a delightful shiver down Essek’s spine. “He wants to take me away from you. He hates seeing you happy.”

    The other Caleb, the one who would never be his, looked pained. “Essek, that’s not the real me. That’s a fiend wearing my face.”

    “Is that how little you think of me?” Essek snapped. The other Caleb flinched as if from a physical blow. “I know exactly what he is.” He’s the one who will give me what you never would.

    Essek’s Caleb kissed him sweetly on the cheek. It felt like benediction. “Be a dear and get rid of him for me, darling.”
