    Summary

    "You know, I always thought I'd live somewhere with lots of people around," Olruggio tells him. The wine in his vessel is a rich pink colour. Qifrey made them olives and cheese with cabroccoli wrapped in ham for a late-night snack, but the pleasure was in the making, not in the eating. He sips his own vessel, listening. "But it's really nice out here, isn't it? Peaceful. Good for focussing."

    "I think you would be even more of a hermit, if you had the choice," Qifrey says. "Lost in your work for weeks on end."

    Olruggio looks sheepish, rubbing the back of his neck with his free hand. "You're probably right. I never thought I'd be that kind of person, either… weird how much things change, isn't it?"

    "And how much they stay the same," Qifrey murmurs.

    A temporary fix-it.

    Summary

    “You can touch, y'know.” Qifrey feels Olruggio's breath on his hand, and he wonders if his friend can feel the way his pulse jumps beneath his fingertips.

    “Ah, but—” My hands. Qifrey wants to tell him no. These hands have only ever hurt you.

    (Or—Qifrey wakes up curse-free and blind. He's not fine, but Olruggio is there, so it's going to be okay—they have the rest of their lives to work through it together, after all.)

    Summary

    “We’re rich?” Tetia exclaimed. She had been sitting with this information for approximately thirty seconds, which was about her limit. “We’ve been rich?” She pushed back from the table. “Master Olly.” She pointed at him, scandalized. “Last month, when I asked if I could have that embroidered skirt from the market in Kalhn, you said—”

    “I said you didn’t need any new clothes. Which is true.”

    “You said we had a budget.”

    “We do have a budget. A budget is just—” But he had already lost control of the conversation.

    ~

    Olruggio never made a big deal about the money his specialized commissions got him. They got what they needed, and some extra at that. To the others, however, it is quite a revelation.

    Summary

    After breaking free of the loops, Siffrin is more than ready to move on and enjoy life again. They’re with their family—their friends—for another journey, one without the King’s Curse nipping at their heels, and everyone will be together for the foreseeable future. So Siffrin is fine. Great, even! The others don’t need to know that their experience in Dormont still hangs heavy as a noose around their neck.

    They just need to get over it.

    -

    Or: Siffrin has trauma, learning to open up is a process, and the others realize the loops left deeper scars than previously thought.
