    Summary

    A frustrating experience during a battle causes Julien and Occtis to reassess the argument that they had outside Obrimus Manor.

    “What the fuck was that?” Julien’s voice was loud and clear and, most of all, more furious than Occtis had ever heard it before.

    He grimaced slightly, but he wasn’t the one being yelled at, not this time, so he decided to take a few steps away from the group to begin the process of re-summoning Pin, who’d been destroyed in the battle.

    “What was what?” Thimble asked, and she sounded genuinely confused. Human-sized again, and Occtis had almost gotten used to that. “Kattigan saved your life back there. Why are you so angry about it?”

    It was an odd little reminder that Thimble hadn’t been along during Occtis’s trip with Julien to the old empire. She didn’t know Julien, not really. She knew some version of him that he’d been before his father had been murdered, but she didn’t know him now.

    “I didn’t need any help,” Julien said, and Occtis could see him glaring around at the others. “I was fine.”

    Summary

    "Yeah, well, if she sees you holding me like this you're in just as much danger. She'll get the wrong impression."

    "And what wrong impression is that?"

    That you might not actually hate me? That this might be a case of mutual attraction? That my body will still function so I can have the sort of physical relationship that I'm really fucking wanting right now?

    "Julien," Occtis says with quiet deadpan despite the cacophony in his head and the phantom thundering of his heart, "you have your hand around my neck and I'm completely naked. I'm pretty sure that's going to give anyone the wrong impression."

    Summary

    “Julien,” Occtis tried, his voice barely over a whisper. “Do you want to kill me?”

    ~

    Or: When the new Seekers find a temporary reprieve as guests in King Gus’ castle, Occtis tries to wrestle with the haunting memories of what happened to him. As he gives in to the panic, he isn’t expecting Julien to even care, much less to actually help him get through it.

    Summary

    “For someone who doesn’t trust me, you were very quick to choose an option of treatment which, arguably, implies that you believe I can keep you alive and whole,” Occtis says without looking up from his task.

    “I had very little choice,” Julien says. “I will not simply lay down and die, and I refuse to lose my arm without trying to save it. What I do or do not believe has nothing to do with it.”

    “I see.”

    There’s something in the boy’s voice, or maybe in the set of his shoulders, that causes Julien to take notice. “Do you believe you can save me?”

    What if the only person who might be able to save your life was the person you trusted the least?

    Summary

    That damnable woman, Julien thinks as he stares at the figure's slim back, thinking of Thaisha's parting words, she set me up, didn't she?

    "Tachonis," he calls out, letting a grim smile stretch across his lips, "it has been a while, hasn't it?"
