    Summary

    A clash with Ethrand Tachonis creates an opportunity for Occtis and Julien to become closer.

    The world blurred around Occtis.

    “-time of need.”

    Ethrand’s voice, hoarse and a touch breathless.

    Occtis rubbed at his eyes, blinking as he realized that he saw two separate fields of vision. There was the current room most of them were in, where they were fighting against the undead monstrosity built out of Hannan’s corpse.

    And there was another room, further up inside the keep, where Julien Davinos was staring him dead in the eyes, Sprezzatura’s swordpoint aimed directly at him.

    Not at him. At Ethrand. This- this was familiar magic to Occtis, though it hadn’t previously been in Ethrand’s possession. It had been Koral’s. As the heir, he’d had a charm attuned to him so that he could reach out and call any nearby family for aid, pulling them into his perspective so that they could locate and help him. If- if any of the rest of Occtis’s family were in this keep, they would be heading straight to Ethrand.

    Occtis needed to get there first.

    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.”

    Summary

    Hal remembered the feeling he got when he read the writing on Bolaire’s interior surface. Trust might have been a bit of an understatement. He felt the magic of Bolaire’s very self seducing him into a trap, and the temptation to give into curiosity and...commune with the mask in some way had been strong. But there were too many other things going on right now. It hadn’t been the time—and it still wasn’t—but Hal hoped he would get another chance once day. One when Bolaire was prepared for it.

    Summary

    Azune flinched as Bolaire raised his hands to cup the young man’s cheeks, covering both his birthmark and more than one bruise and bloodstain. “You know who I am?” The mask asked. A nod into his hands. “Good. Listen to me carefully, my dear. If you want, I can take it all away for a little while. If you put me on, I will get us both out of here, and you don’t have to see or think about anything. How does that sound?”

    ***

    After being kidnapped and held for ransom by one of the city's younger and more reckless thieves guilds, Azune is injured and traumatized to the point where his friends can't rescue him without hurting him worse. Letting Bolaire put him on/putting on the mask lets Hal, Bolaire, and Murray get him out of there, but taking him off again will be a lengthier, and gentler, process.

    Summary

    "I stay in the house, move the furniture about
    Try and control what I can
    And feel the world slip through my hand
    You can have it all
    You can have it all"

    Bolaire and Occtis keep the secret knowledge of unworn masks.
