    Summary

    Qifrey doesn’t look at him either as he speaks. He only answers as much as he is asked, mechanically recounting the day’s events, being as curt as possible. Nothing about the dishes he’s prepared, or the kids’ achievements, or something funny that might’ve happened during his lessons. Oruggio doesn’t push again, his throat suddenly too tight to get any words out. He just wants to get back into his room and occupy himself with some kind of contraption and not think about the suffocating atmosphere in the atelier.

    They had a fight. It was nearly a week ago.

    Summary

    This man is the only person in the world to know how Qifrey felt about this. The only person in the world Qifrey’s spoken to about how he wishes he could carve his blasted womb out of his body and feed it to scalewolves, when they were young and Qifrey came of age and bled through his robes and sobbed, humiliated and angry.

    Summary

    In this vile symbiosis, perhaps there was an evolution: the parasite has realized it does not wish to kill Qifrey fast, lest it lose its primary source. It has grown slow, ignorable.

    He does not feel it, and he feels it, or is that his eye, the ache in his cranium? What is cause and what is effect, will he unravel, here, in front of his apprentices, his cap a staircase away?

    or, qifrey’s no-good, all terrible dinner.

    Summary

    “Olruggio,” she said, as if it was obvious. “Is he like your boyfriend?”

    “Yes?” Qifrey blinked at Alaira’s foolishness. Olly was his friend, and a boy. Duh. “Of course he’s my boyfriend.”

    -

    A young Qifrey accidentally starts a rumour about himself and Olruggio that quickly gets out of hand.
