Summary
"Jester is dead. Everyone is talking and Yasha and Beau are dragging one of the beds out into the middle of the room as Fjord walks in, Jester’s body limp in his arms, and Caduceus is pulling flowers and herbs out of his bag and arranging them in a circle on the floor, and Nott takes another gulp from her flask, and none of it matters because Jester is dead, because they were all too slow or too stupid or too careless and they didn’t save her."
Caleb makes an offering.

Summary
"Jester has read a lot of smut books. She knows how it goes: two attractive people find themselves in some crazy contrived situation where, oh no! they're naked! and even though they try to resist at first, the attraction is too much and they end up giving in to their passions. It's always inconvenient, and it's always awkward, and it's always sexy.
There's nothing sexy about this."

"Dawn is near. It is achingly beautiful, with little stray snowflakes floating down every few minutes. They remind him of ashes.
Please, he thinks, just get me to the caves before the sun rises. Let me do this one thing right."

Summary
"By the time Jester has risen, dressed, and washed her face with water from the basin on her bedside table, the sky has brightened into true dawn, and the chill of night has lessened by a degree or two, though winter is still nipping at the air as she steps outside. She wraps her cloak a little tighter around herself against the breeze and pretends that's why she took her time getting ready — she was just waiting for it to warm up a little. She's not nervous, or terrified."
Caleb casts a spell, and Jester makes a promise.
