    Summary

    “You're sure you’re ready for the role?” Nyssa teases. “Studied up? I can’t imagine there are too many books about infiltrating drow temples.”

    Gale fiddles with his collar and leash, pinching it between his forefingers in a way that shouldn’t be distracting but is.

    “Perhaps not specifically. You see, the problem about writing on drow society is one often does not make it up from the Underdark to hand pages to publisher. Of course there are many…less researched volumes. Of hapless men and leather-clad matrons. But I told Shadowheart I would be a gentleman, so that is all I will say on the more sordid parts of my education. You’ve nothing to fear.”

    Summary

    “Orin,” He says, unhappy with the interruption. “What do you want?”
    Orin giggles, body contorting and bones cracking, as her form reverts to normal. Gortash will never get used to watching her change shape. She makes a spectacle of stretching her limbs out, a pleased noise leaving her throat — unbearably loud. If there were guards posted right outside of his office, they’d very easily mistake it for something else.
    Something Lord Enver Gortash cannot and will not deal with or entertain the thought of right now.
    He is stronger than that.

    Or: Orin and Gortash have an ... arrangement, and Orin has to make sure Gortash remembers that.

    Summary

    Deacon's afraid of falling. Not in a metaphorical way or anything, he just really doesn't like heights.

    (Luckily, he has someone there to help him.)

    Summary

    Andreas groans and throws his head back against the back of his chair, his chin tipped up towards the vaulted ceiling, his long pale neck exposed in the flickering candle light. He's rubbing his eyes with both hands, his quill sat abandoned on his desk. Ink drips in fat round blots onto the wood; wastage that would not be tolerated if Prior Ferenc was here. He huffs a loud sigh, the long-suffering sigh of a spoiled child forced to work for a living.
    Brother Guy watches the movement of his petulant mouth and wishes, not for the first time, that he was literally anywhere else in the world.

    Andreas is insufferably loud. Brother Guy plots murder.
