    Summary

    Occtis Tachonis was hollow.

    Not a Tachonis anymore. Not a body anymore. Nothing, not anything. Just cold and hollow.

    in which Occtis and Julien have a conversation. More or less.

    Summary

    [SPOILERS TO C4E5.]

    Occtis is still holding his head up high, but now that they’re in better lighting, Julien realizes he looks a bit unsteady. Nonetheless, the boy's voice is steadfast. “I have some work I need to get done this evening. If you want to stay in this stupid room while that happens, I can’t stop you, but I expect you to be polite about it.”

    Deciding the unsteadiness is only to be expected, Julien tries to muddle past it. “What kind of work?”

    Occtis’s jaw goes tight. “I… have to start making some adjustments, or else I won’t ‘heal’ properly. Is that going to be a problem for you?”

    Julien doesn’t know what he’s supposed to respond to that, so he defaults to setting some parameters. “There’s a sorry excuse for a curtain that you may use as a partition if you desire. I’ll take this bed; that side of the room is all yours to do as you see fit.”

    Occtis just stares at him. “You’re… fine with this?”

    Julien rolls his eyes. “Yes. I am extremely fucking fine with everything that is happening. Everything is extremely fucking great with me.” He flops down on the nearer of the two beds. “Do what you must.”

    “Thank you for being so kind.”

    Julien’s eye twitches.

    Summary

    Julian, it's a hungry world. It's gonna eat you alive, son, yeah
    Oh Julian, when their fangs sink in, I'll stitch you but then I gotta throw you back in
    You just try and sleep, even though you're alone
    You just close your eyes, boy, you dream of home

    "Maybe I'm not me at all."

    "That's the first thing you've said to make me believe you are what you say you are," he admitted, knowing his voice was still harsh as he turned, stopping in front of the trembling young man.

    Occtis laughed despite his misery, or maybe because of it. "You are a complicated man, Sir Julien Davinos."

    Summary

    The last thing Julien ever wished to see as he stumbled drunk into the first guestroom door was the Tachonis boy asleep on the bed, laid out beneath the crisp sheets like the corpse he is.

    A necromancer of the Famed House Tachonis, huh?

    Despite the cold gauntness that clings to the boy, Occtis still looks… harmless. Thaisha had done a fairly good job cleaning him up, but Julien’s eyes catch streaks of blood she missed in his hair. Julien feels a strange sort of impulse to fetch a cloth and wash it out himself, which passes like a wave crashing over the rocks (he has a strange inclination that it will return if he overstays his welcome in this room).

     

    Or: Julien is drunk, grieving, and is (against his will) worried Occtis is cold. Occtis is failing to sleep.
