    Summary

    “Caleb,” Essek asks in an undertone, as they walk away from one window, its festive display festooned in so many colorful sparkling lights that the very sight makes Essek’s eyes water, “if there is something you want to buy, then why not just buy it?”

    “Too expensive,” Caleb demurs, the denial so prompt it cannot be anything but reflexive. “Besides, I don't need it.”

    Summary

    A house of his own. 

    The thought slams into Caleb with the force of a sledgehammer, the enormity of it nearly knocking the breath out of him. It's over twice as large as the cottage where he'd spent his childhood—a kitchen separate from the dining room and the sitting room! Not one, but two bathrooms! And best of all, three whole bedrooms! Enough space for Caleb, his books, and whichever of his friends would deign to visit him. The height of luxury indeed. Back then, Bren’s parents could only afford one bedroom, and young Bren himself had slept in the loft. Frumpkin would curl up on the foot of Bren’s mattress, and he'd wake to the smell of breakfast, the early morning light in his eyes, the rafters brushing his hair when he got up. 

    Or so it had been once, an entire lifetime ago. 

    “Veth,” he says. 

    She looks up at him. Then she grins. “Isn't this exciting?”

    “I think so,” Caleb says, a split second too late.

    Summary

    “I believe I had just blown up a window that you and Ikithon were standing next to.”

    Caleb felt his eyebrows fly up to his hairline.

    Even with his perfect memory, his recollection of that moment was muddied by the very powerful magic explosion that had preceded it. But still, he remembered.

    In a daze, on his knees, looking up to see a soldier flying in through the shattered remains of the window. He remembered the dark lines of their armour, sharp and foreign to him. The sound it had made, as they’d landed before him. Not just any soldier. A Kryn soldier. He remembered his shock, surely evident on his face.

    A cape had whipped behind them in the wind, looking for a moment like wings, marking them as more than just a mere soldier, as the leader of the attack.

    And Caleb had watched, mouth agape, transfixed.

    “That was you?”

    Or: Essek explains that their first meeting happened a bit earlier than Caleb had previously thought

    Summary

    Caleb was laying, limp like a doll, on Beau’s back. Molly was reluctantly impressed that she’d seemingly carried him all the way back here. Overshadowing that, however, was the concern for their wizard. Caleb looked like he’d narrowly escaped a house-fire. His face was covered in soot and dried tear tracks ran down his ash-stained cheeks. He was pale as a ghost and even in unconsciousness, he seemed to tremble faintly. Molly couldn’t tell if that was from exhaustion, terror or an overuse of magic, though. Maybe even all three.

     

    Or: After the fight with the Volstrucker, everyone is exhausted. Molly helps in any way they can.
