Summary
“I… I actually have a favor to ask.”
The reaction at the table was inevitable and it stung. Smiles grew wary and both Beauregard and Veth crossed their arms immediately, Veth sizing him up with a critical look.
“What kind of favor?”
Essek felt the blood shoot into his cheeks- by the luxon, this had been a terrible idea. But it was too late now.“I… my Den’s annual meeting is coming up, and I need a plus one, to put it simply.”
The Nein still all stared at him, brows furrowed.“Is it a political meeting?”, Caleb asked.
“It’s more of a family get-together, to be honest.”, Essek confessed, feeling very sheepish.
“But why do you need someone to go with you?”, Jester asked, scrunching up her nose.
Well, there it was. Essek fidgeted with his sleeve before he replied, as dignified as possible, “Frankly, because I am tired of my family’s burning questions about why I never bring any company.”
The resulting shriek Jester let out made him jump- and not only him it seemed.“You need someone to pretend to be your daaaaaaaate?”

Summary
[SPOILERS TO C4E19.]
“Copper for your thoughts?” Julien asks him.
The voice he uses makes Azune do a double-take, low and personable. He finds himself short on words for a second, but forces himself to rally. “I’m trying not to think about anything.”
Julien laughs. “I know that feeling.”
Azune is fully capable of not being weird about this turn in the conversation, and he needs to start putting it that skill to work. “It’s been a fucked up few weeks.”
Julien’s eyes are on his drink. “Yes. It has.” He swirls his glass, watching the rich, dark liquid undulate in the candlelight. “You’re a lot taller now.”
Azune blinks. “I mean. Yeah. I guess I am.”
“Well, I’m not.”
Azune had noticed. “I hadn’t noticed.”
“Really? I assumed that was what you were staring at all night.”
Azune’s nerves start to clamor. “I didn’t mean any offense.”
For the first time, Julien turns to look at him. “I didn’t take any offense.” The playful smirk on his lips is spellbinding. “Much like your height, I just thought it deserved comment.”

Summary
[SPOILERS TO C4E18.]
“I never really thought about it before, but I think I might like pain,” Occtis tells him. “Maybe I even liked it before, but always got too lost in all the other feelings the world had to offer to notice it. But now it’s the only feeling that I have. So I think I want to… possess it. To hold it in my hand and do with it how I see fit.”
It occurs to his social brain that every word of that confession was more alarming than the last, but it has only served to turn Julien’s expression into something avaricious and gleaming. “My ribs are still quite bruised,” he murmurs. “Be my guest.”
Occtis takes a moment to sort through his thoughts on the matter. He can hear voices from the women’s tent, but they sound faraway and untroubled.
“Your pain tolerance is good,” he decides aloud. “I trust you not to make any sound.”
“Of course I can be quiet,” Julien assures him in a honeyed tone. He assumes a more relaxed pose, resting comfortably on his side. “Go on, then. What are you waiting for? I despise cowardice in all its forms—so don’t disappoint me.”
