    Summary

    Varka’s blue eyes always catch him off guard. Lohen used to not like it, when Varka sized him up with that gaze. But as time went on, Lohen craved it. He wants Varka to always look at him, chasing him with his eyes, placing Lohen in the center of his regard. It is, he knows, a dangerous want. 

    What’s surprising to him is that Varka does indulge him. Cardinal Seamus and Anselm hate Lohen for it. Varka’s blatant favoritism has not gone unnoticed, it seems. But the man himself doesn’t seem to care much. 

    Or, a quiet moment between Varka and Lohen when Lohen is in solitary confinement.

    Summary

    Lohen hums, his silhouette barely visible in the midday shade. Born amidst the budding of flowers beloved and forest streams joyous, why must he wield the poisons of starveling winters?

    Still, Varka cannot look away. He will never be able to look away, not as long as he lives. Is this what he's going to chase his whole life?

    Summary

    "Told you," he croaked out with strength he gathered from Varka’s presence.

    Varka's hand found his cheek immediately, thumb brushing carefully and lightly over his jaw. "What?"

    "You said—" Lohen swallowed, throat raw. "’Wait here’."

    Varka asks. Lohen listens. Both of them suffer emotionally as a result.

    Summary

    Five times Dottore observes Pantalone vulnerable, and one time Pantalone observes Dottore back.

    "And I suppose if I'm ever confronted physically, I should blast them away with my signature?" Pantalone chuckled. "How very effective indeed."

    "Let us hope it never comes to that." Dottore said. "But if it did, I would simply handle them in your stead."

    Perhaps Pantalone should have investigated that sentence further. But he just wanted another smoke.
