    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

    “Would you put money on it, Foreman?” Chase asks, wiggling his eyebrows suggestively at both of them, “Come on. Fifty bucks each, bit of holiday fun.”
    Foreman leans back in his chair, crossing his arms, “Why are you so eager to make this a bet? Spend too much on Christmas presents?”
    Chase’s mouth twitches, “Can’t a guy just want to have a friendly wager with his colleagues?”
    --
    After a slip on some ice lands House in the hospital with a concussion he accidentally reveals to his fellows that he was planning to propose to someone, but doesn't say to who. That's up to them to figure out.

    Summary

    "Julien needs to keep an eye on him (or in this case tightly clasped hand around his arm), and Occtis can leech his warmth as the nights grow darker and colder and the possibility of him freezing solid becomes a genuine concern.
    This, the party knows about; the sex they do not."

    Julien is refusing to look at his feelings about any of this.

    Summary

    During the stay at Riesengurtle, Julien tries to forget his troubles with Rispadan Red, while Occtis realizes he still has Julien's bag and decides to return it.

    In other words: two traumatised guys try to talk. What could possibly go wrong?
