Summary
“C’mon now, what’s this about?” he drawled. “Bit far in the woods for a ‘talk.’” A more suspicious member of the Mighty Nein--Beauregard, probably, or Nott herself--would’ve seen a threat in the way Nott had grabbed him and darted into the trees beside their campside, throwing a frantic ‘I need to talk to you!’ in their wake. Molly generally made an effort to assume the best of people, but he was also smarter than most gave him credit for. But while he was a little suspicious, he also knew that Nott was smarter than to kill him now after such an obvious display. If she wanted him dead, she would do it in the night without waking a soul.
Nott advanced, poking him in the soft of his stomach with a crooked claw, eyes narrowed as she glared up at him.
“What are your intentions with Caleb?” she demanded. Molly blinked at her for a moment before repressing a snort. Nott bared her teeth back at him.
Even when her friends don't know about her biological son, Nott can't help being a parent.
(Nott gives Molly and Essek a shovel talk *long* before they get around to dating Caleb) -

Summary
Farther down the shore, Jester plays the giggling part of a sandpiper, racing to and fro alongside the shifting waterline as she searches for seashells, she’d said, because hermit crabs have such boring homes sometimes and they could use a little painting for pizzazz, Essek, obviously.
Obviously, yes. Why not. A little grin tilts his lips.
Jester asked for his company, so here Essek is, following each of her whims; she is skilled at keeping boredom at bay.

“Yasha, you-.”
She raises her brows, curiosity blooming plain by the tilt of her head.
“You asked me…”

Summary
“Well then, I shall ask you a question,” said Essek, “Do you believe I should participate in conversation more than I do?”
Caleb raised his head in alarm. Did his friend think he was being criticised? Did Essek interpret Caleb’s judgement of his own silence as reflected upon him? Caleb raised his hands plaintively, “No, not at all. In fact, I think I’d be a little taken aback if you did. Please understand, it is not silence itself that I dislike and I certainly do not condemn yours, only my...lack of ability.”
“Why should you hold yourself to a standard you do not hold others to?"

:::5 times Essek saw Caleb's unmasked self (and loved him all the same) and 1 time Caleb saw Essek's (and loved him the way he deserved).

Summary
Caleb knows the spell only requires a touch.
This is obvious. A mere tap, enchanted, directed, and fate will restitch around whim.
This is as Essek has and has been taught, and yet, Caleb’s choice of placement….
Kiss to bridge. Pearl to brow. Fingertips between eyes. Foreheads, pressed together.
Essek has only just begun to learn.
Surety sputtering, he throws this question out in search of one better.

Summary
Essek is far from the only one capable of serving as a knowledgeable sounding board, and he is well aware that Caleb has a clever, crafty mind all on his own. And still, beyond that, if he dares to consider, Essek could even share the spell itself from his very own spellbook.
This is not what Caleb has asked of him.
This is a puzzle.

Summary
“It was a split-second decision, but I can list for you the reasons I considered, my thought process, if it would sate your curiosity and abate your concern. I’ve even numbered them in order, one through nine.”
Of course it was and of course he did, the dear overthinker.
And this is new, this is good, resolving the minutiae. Maybe today really is the day the last bits scrambled will realign.
Maybe Caleb even guessed correctly in the moment. Levity may ease the ache of anxiety some.
“Indulge me.”

Summary
Essek Thelyss, the illustrious Shadowhand of the Kryn Dynasty, a wizard almost unmatched in his power, the instigator of the biggest war this continent has seen in the last few decades, is rendered speechless and as purple as a beet by a peck on the lips. Him from just half a year ago would have scoffed at the thought -- and yet here he is.
