    Summary

    The scars on Jiaoqiu’s back are just as wide and deep. It looks like flesh has been carved out of him. Debriding the wounds was necessary, of course, to rid them of the necrosis, but it leaves behind a sobering sight.

    Moze finds himself lingering a little longer. It’s not an unpleasant task. He wasn’t able to save Jiaoqiu from the borisin, but he can do this, at least. And Jiaoqiu’s shoulders have lost some tension since he started. The sight may be sobering, but Moze feels peaceful, too. There’s no danger here. Just a simple task that he’s good at.

    He wonders what it would feel like if it was just his hands on Jiaoqiu instead of the towel.

    (Back on the Yaoqing, Jiaoqiu gets put on leave and Moze is assigned to watch him. He end up helping Jiaoqiu with some things. He ends up realizing some things, too.)

    Summary

    “Hmm. This presents a dilemma.” Wriothesley leans against the wall beside the door. He looks at the bed and then at Neuvillette.

    Despite the size of this place, many rooms are empty. Then, there are rooms stuffed nearly to the brim with folding screens, a few with rows of bookshelves, and even a couple sitting rooms. Unfortunately though, the room beyond the doorway is the only functioning bedroom.

    Neuvillette enters, and stops short at the door, standing nearly shoulder to shoulder with Wriothesley.

    “I can sleep on the couch,” he says.

    Wriothesley tuts. “No can do. You take the bed.”

    Or, Neuvillette is forced into a mandatory leave.

    Summary

    “Monsieur Neuvillette,” Wriothesley says in a rush, dropping Neuvillette’s hairpiece as if it suddenly became piping hot. The otter squeaks when the hairpiece lands on its head, and scurries underneath Wriothesley’s desk. Just as Neuvillette opens his mouth to speak, Wriothesley blurts out, “It’s not what it looks like, I swear—”

    But Neuvillette is far more concerned with watching in rapt fascination as Wriothesley’s face suddenly flushes a deep red, all the way up to his hairline and below his collar.

    Neuvillette has seen nothing but cool composure and unruffled poise from Wriothesley, even during his most overwrought moments. But this… well, Neuvillette can’t help but feel a little mesmerized by this newfound knowledge that Wriothesley is capable of blushing.

    or, Wriothesley and Neuvillette catch themselves in odd situations through the unruly shenanigans of a persistent (matchmaking) otter.

    Summary

    “Violet Kiramman,” Caitlyn said in a low tone, like she was tasting the way the words sounded on her lips, her tongue.

    “Yeah?” Vi said with a lazy grin. “What?”

    “Violet. Kiramman.”

    (Cait/Vi) Vi has no hesitations taking Caitlyn's last name for her own reasons.
