    Summary

    Dear Beldaruit, The Wise in Teachings,

    I am writing to inform you that I wish to resign my position as Watchful Eye of the Atelier of Qifrey. This decision has not been made lightly, but I believe it is the best course of action for all parties involved. I will remain in my position until you have found a suitable replacement.

    I am deeply grateful for the trust you placed in me, and I regret that I am unable to continue.

    With sincere apologies,

    Olruggio of The Torch

     

    After the Silverwood is gone, Qifrey and Olruggio grapple with their guilt in their own different ways.

    Summary

    Sinocia blinks at him, then says, "You're quite young for that, Olruggio. Are you sure?"

    "No. That's why I said I wanted your opinion."

    // Olruggio, increasingly aware of and unsettled by the many lapses in his memory, starts keeping a record of his days in order to find out what, if anything, is ailing him. Qifrey doesn't realize what he's doing until it's nearly too late.

    Summary

    “Can you show me?” Qifrey asks, feigning just a little of his frustration. Running his fingers up and down his own neck only feels marginally less stupid than Olruggio lying isolated beside him, his want palpable.

    “Show you?” Olly’s voice is thready.

    “Yes,” Qifrey replies, tilting his head to look at Olly until his gaze is met. “I’ll follow you.”

    -

    or; olruggio shows qifrey the best ways to get off. nothing, at all, goes wrong.

    Summary

    “I already told you, I don’t have hypothermia,” Lance says. “I’m okay. I’m just really, really cold.”

    Keith raises an eyebrow. “What do you think hypothermia is?”

    “Oh, don’t get all technical. I—”

    His body betrays him by breaking out into another fit of shivers, so violent they leave him dizzy, his vision dark at the edges.

    It knocks most of the fight out of him, and he sits there for a moment, feeling miserable and pathetic.

    “Look,” Keith says, his voice low and infuriatingly kind, “you can drop the act. I know you. I can tell when you’re not okay.”

    Lance stares at him, feeling exposed and cut to the bone.

    “I could get better on my own,” he says.

    “You won’t,” Keith tells him bluntly. “Not unless you let me help you.”

    ---

    Getting stranded in a cave during a blizzard is bad. Having to rely on Keith Kogane for warmth is… complicated. Lance survives the night. Figuring out what it meant is another story.
