Summary
“We would like to offer our sincere condolences regarding the passing of your husband,” Ethrand states in a lofty drawl.
Julien sees Aranessa’s jaw go taut. “Thank you for thinking of us in our time of mourning,” she grates out.
“Of all Houses, House Tachonis would never seek to downplay or invalidate the importance of a mourning period. However, certain circumstances warrant a loosening of the proscribed timelines.”
Julien’s jaw falls ajar. He can't possibly mean...?
“I fear I fail to understand you," Aranessa hisses. "Elaborate.”
“All this recent unpleasantness was the consequence of years of unfortunate misunderstandings between our two houses. In contravention of what one might expect, I am pleased to say that I am here with an entreaty of peace.”
Aranessa allows a long silence to transpire, one that seems to make even Ethrand uncomfortable. “I will hear the details.”
“In exchange for a lasting peace, we only seek to solemnize this new alliance with a vow.” Ethrand smirks. “Accordingly, my father offers you the hand of my brother Occtis in marriage.”
Julien looks down at the rug. If he doesn’t look down at the rug, he’s going to start shouting.

Summary
Get up! The voice in Julien’s head sounds like his own, just a little bit darker, a little bit colder. Julien feels himself shiver, the words dispelling some of the comforting warmth. Grab your rapier and strike him where his heart once was. Stuff his mouth with garlic and roses. He can’t have you! You’re mine! You’re mine! You’re—“
“Shhhh.” Occtis says, as if he can hear Julien’s thoughts. He sits on the edge of the bed, rolling up one of his shirt sleeves. “It’s all right. You’ll feel much better in a minute.” He raises his own wrist to his mouth, and Julien sees a glimpse of teeth that he could have sworn hadn’t been that sharp a moment ago before Occtis bites down. The blood that oozes from the bite mark when Occtis takes his wrist away is thick, looking black in the low light of the room’s single lantern. “Here you go,” he says softly, and then he’s pressing his wrist to Julien’s mouth.

Summary
“For someone who doesn’t trust me, you were very quick to choose an option of treatment which, arguably, implies that you believe I can keep you alive and whole,” Occtis says without looking up from his task.
“I had very little choice,” Julien says. “I will not simply lay down and die, and I refuse to lose my arm without trying to save it. What I do or do not believe has nothing to do with it.”
“I see.”
There’s something in the boy’s voice, or maybe in the set of his shoulders, that causes Julien to take notice. “Do you believe you can save me?”

What if the only person who might be able to save your life was the person you trusted the least?
