Summary
He intends to use Occtis as bait. He's said as much to his face. They are not friends. They are not comrades. They are barely allies, and most days, the ice-cold silence between them makes even that label seem deeply laughable. He is treating Occtis like a threat, like a stick of blackpowder that might explode at any moment.
It's not inaccurate. Not on the logistical level, obviously. His father and brother could be planning anything with his heart; Occtis wouldn't damn well know. But it's not inaccurate on the personal level, either. It's more accurate than Sir Julien really seems to understand.
Exploding sounds violent, and dangerous, and warm. It might be nice to find some way to explode.
Occtis Tachonis is in dire need of a distraction.
Surely an ill-advised hookup with Sir Julien Davinos should do the trick.Series

Summary
Essek clung to her; his fingers gripped the front of her coat. He looked small in a way he never had before, frightened in a way that Caleb hadn’t fully processed he could be. It wasn’t Essek’s nervousness, the anxiety of a brilliant man who could see danger all around him, who could see the falling dominoes and the way the web he had woven had entangled him. It was the fear of a small child, or indeed, a stray cat—the fear of a creature trapped in a terrifying world it did not understand.
Essek, brilliant Essek, Essek who believed he could find the answers to everything, unable to understand a thing—the thought of it stabbed at Caleb’s heart.
---
In a world where Trent makes it back to Eiselcross before the Nein do, Essek spends a night under the effects of the Feeblemind spell. Caleb undertakes a duty of care, and the Nein learn how Essek feels about them beneath everything.
