    Summary

    Carefully, Caleb undoes the buttons of Essek’s cuff, settling Essek’s hand against his knee so he can fold the sleeve up, baring Essek’s arm to the elbow. Caleb is briefly grateful that it is too dark for him to see much of anything.

    He takes a breath. “Tell me if there is any pain or discomfort, please.”

    [Or: Caleb does his best to ease Essek's pain.]

    Summary

    Caleb tries not to taste bitterness on his tongue as he leads Nott back to their room. Tries not to imagine how this dance might have gone if he was the one to lash out so publicly. They already think him untrustworthy, a risk, not even worth the effort to be spoken to face-to-face about these doubts, already labeled a problem in one way or another.

    No, they would not miss him at all.

    Summary

    ‘Home is the place where, when you have to go there,
    They have to take you in.’

    ‘I should have called it
    Something you somehow haven’t to deserve.’

    —"The Death of a Hired Man," Robert Frost
