    Summary

    Shadia knows in theory that Azune has been to war, but knowing is very different from understanding. Her father went to war, once. He doesn't talk about it. Not really, not to her and or to Alogar either, except in that sideways way that he sometimes talks about dangerous things; telling fantastical stories about something else entirely and letting you read between the lines. Which means Azune has lived something her father thinks that even telling her about is too risky, and Shadia cannot understand.

    (In which Hal's children also love each other, all of them, including the one Uncle Thjazi left on dad's doorstep one day without any warning.

    ...Or: Azune spends a year with the Fang-Lloy-D'vyen family.)

    Summary

    After the end of the Falconer's Rebellion, Thaisha takes Azune to Dol-Makjar. Alogar is the first Fang he meets, after Thjazi.

    Or, in which Azune and Alogar both try So Hard to be good, but being a teenager is hard, and the aftermath of war, loss, and famine doesn't make it any easier.

    Summary

    “What happened?” Teor demanded.

    “He’s fucking freezing,” Thjazi said. It wasn’t clear if this was in reply to Teor, or just an observation. The man was already lifting Azune up, curling him against his chest, still wrapped in his blanket. A shock of red hair was about all Teor glimpsed of him. He wasn’t moving.

    “Azune won’t wake up,” Thimble explained. “I was trying to ask if he wanted to go play in the snow, but he wouldn’t wake up. I felt that he’s breathing, at least, but it was slow and wasn’t warm like it should be-”

    At twelve years old and small for his age, Azune gets cold faster than the adult members of the Torn Banner. When the temperature drops with a sudden snowfall, this becomes an issue.

    Summary

    In which it is a truth universally acknowledged that Azune Nayar is bad at self-preservation but good at taking orders, and over the years many of the people who hold him dear have used the second fact to their advantage.

    *

    That seems to be the end of the conversation as far as Azune is concerned, but isn't for Hal. He cannot sit peaceful with the idea that a momentary careless gesture on his part could have Azune walking into the fire, figuratively or... not.

    "Not exactly what I am used to," Hal tries. "You've met my children, my family, and I work with actors. Any person I have tried to give an instruction to in my entire life has argued back."

    "I will not do that," Azune promises, like it's nothing. Given the circumstances, it is one of the least reassuring things Hal has ever heard.

    Summary

    “Come through here,” Halandil Fang says, gesturing him into the house.

    It is odd, but nice. He looks very much like Thjazi. He does not sound, or move, like Thjazi at all. Similar enough to be comfortable and apart enough not to tug rough stitches in Azune’s heart loose again, ones that he had to put there now the Banner are all to be separated. Halandil moves with an elegant lethargy that Azune associates with the older soldiers he’s known, a certain economy of movement. Gentler than the old soldiers, of course. A bit more flourish maybe. That too.

    (In which Hal loves all his children, including the one that Thjazi posted to his doorstep one day without any warning.)
