    Summary

    Someone tries to drug Edgar, which is hardly surprising given his general popularity in the manor. It's not actually the first time he drank spiked up wine either. Clearly, he never learns. Naib is here to help, but he's not happy about it.

    Summary

    The manor burns down. Orpheus, to the best of Norton’s, Plinius’, and Miss DeRoss’ knowledge, is caught up in it. Norton is wildly, exceedingly lucky he is not.

    It’s the second or third time it’s burned down, apparently. It’s hard to keep up with what Miss DeRoss is saying, and with his head swimming from the blood loss it all kind of washes over him anyways. He leans heavily on both the women’s shoulders, barely managing to keep his feet under him. Distantly, he feels bad about it—both Plinius and Miss DeRoss are smaller than him, and he’s always weighed nearly fifteen stone even when he was starving. There’s blood dripping off of all three of them. He’s not sure what’s theirs and what’s his.

    He’s also not sure why they pulled him out of the dirt. He’s not sure why they bothered. Wouldn’t it make more sense for them to just save themselves? It’s what he would have done, in their place. It’s what he thought Plinius would have done.

    For Miss DeRoss, it’s hard to say.

    It takes a year to pick up the pieces and start to heal.

    Summary

    Joseph is stressed.

    Admittedly, this is not a new state of affairs. Most things are stressors for Joseph these days in this horrible new world that they’ve found themselves in, where nothing makes sense and everything is too modern and people can get sick and die. Everyday he feels his sanity slip a little farther to the left under the automobiles and smart telephones and intertwined network and whatever other miserable innovation time’s inexorable march has deemed it necessary to bombard them with. He copes admirably, if he may say so, but it is so often a near thing.

    But today, his stressors are pointed, focused. Just as his gaze is pointed, focused on the man in front of him. Bane, to his credit, does not fidget under the weight of Joseph's stare.

    Bane, in fact, looks remarkably calm for a man that has just dropped a bomb on Joseph. Yes, remarkably calm for a man who had strolled into the manor's parlor and announced his intention to finally (finally) propose to Burke. This means, Joseph knows, that Bane would like to have a wedding. Which means, Joseph also knows, Bane would like to have a wedding in the manor.

    In Joseph's home.

    Mon dieu.

    Summary

    i leaned on you in silence
    all remained still, and you
    you sang to me, so quietly
    you sang to me, so quietly
    in the moonlight i can see you laying face down;
    in the moonlight, you turn into a blue sky
    so i thank you for the hope you gave me
    so i thank you for the hope...
