    Summary

    In the few brief heartbeats before his current body collapsed beneath him, Bolaire hoped he would dream of Hal. He'd never dreamt before, but what had there been to dream of? The Schemers wouldn't force Bolaire onto someone. No matter how much Hal might care about Bolaire as a friend, there were lines he wouldn't cross. Shouldn't cross.

    When Bolaire's body dies, he resigns himself to be “sleeping” for a long time. Azune, with the help of the other Schemers, refuses to let that happen, even if it means wearing Bolaire himself. What's a little body-sharing between friends, right?

    Summary

    Their pressing need for quiet in everything was the only thing that kept Murray from shouting when she saw the interior of the cell. Even Hal let out a gasp. At least the noisy breathing she’d heard made more sense now, when the lungs were several times larger than she had been expecting.

    A dragon lay inside.

    After Azune goes missing, the other Schemers put all their effort into tracking him down. When they find him, though, he's not in the state they're expecting.

    Summary

    In which it is a truth universally acknowledged that Azune Nayar is bad at self-preservation but good at taking orders, and over the years many of the people who hold him dear have used the second fact to their advantage.

    *

    That seems to be the end of the conversation as far as Azune is concerned, but isn't for Hal. He cannot sit peaceful with the idea that a momentary careless gesture on his part could have Azune walking into the fire, figuratively or... not.

    "Not exactly what I am used to," Hal tries. "You've met my children, my family, and I work with actors. Any person I have tried to give an instruction to in my entire life has argued back."

    "I will not do that," Azune promises, like it's nothing. Given the circumstances, it is one of the least reassuring things Hal has ever heard.

    Summary

    “Come through here,” Halandil Fang says, gesturing him into the house.

    It is odd, but nice. He looks very much like Thjazi. He does not sound, or move, like Thjazi at all. Similar enough to be comfortable and apart enough not to tug rough stitches in Azune’s heart loose again, ones that he had to put there now the Banner are all to be separated. Halandil moves with an elegant lethargy that Azune associates with the older soldiers he’s known, a certain economy of movement. Gentler than the old soldiers, of course. A bit more flourish maybe. That too.

    (In which Hal loves all his children, including the one that Thjazi posted to his doorstep one day without any warning.)

    Summary

    As the notable and the wealthy flood in from the main Gala to see what all the commotion is about, the Halovar lay their final pieces and if nothing else, they demonstrate that Wicander probably came by his love of stagecraft honestly. They’ve outdone themselves; the grand and ridiculous mimicry in the centre of the room is exactly what the elite of a city that hasn’t known gods for a generation would think resurrection looks like. The fight is not done. It has just changed shape. There is a lot they need to do, and quickly. His friends will point him where he needs to go. He can let the details come to him later, he can sift through the events and decide what’s important to know more about later. For now, he can just do.

    For now he just does, and that is why it is only much later that he realises it’s possible none of them were close enough to hear the words that passed between him and Mayali. She was cradled so close, they did not need to say anything loud.

    That is why it is only much later he realises he might have to explain, to three people in particular.
