    Summary

    A decision is made before even the first word is spoken.

    At least, that is what Mel had always believed-- still does believe, if pressed by neutral parties. But this last one, she must admit, is testing that stance.

    (Or: Mel chooses to cultivate Viktor instead of Jayce and has both regrets and a headache)

    Summary

    “Oh shit,” Cameron, the rookie left wing from the Steelheads nudges aggressively at his arm to get his attention and direct it across the ice toward the player who’s had it since they both left the bench. “They got Hollander? Fuck, man.”

    Ilya makes a noncommittal sound in his throat, which suddenly feels too tight to allow any actual words. “Yeah,” he doesn’t quite agree, “I guess they do.”

    Cameron sighs and drapes himself against Ilya’s side. “I hate playing that guy,” he sounds as though he actually does. During the season he’s said the same to Ilya whenever he sees him, but usually with an accompanied high five or some gentle ribbing to show that he doesn’t quite mean it. “You know?”

    He doesn’t. “We’ve been best friends since we were thirteen,” he says instead, because it’s starting to feel like something that is in danger of being forgotten.

    Summary

    "Thom and Alan of Trebond,” Coram told the guard who motioned for them to halt. “They’re here to begin their service at Court.”

    The guard glanced over the three travelers. Alanna could hear her heart beating in her ears, so strong it must be visible through her clothes. This was the first test. Would the people at the palace see through her? Or would they, like the innkeepers on the road, see short hair and a boy’s name and not think further?

    The guard stepped back. “Welcome to the palace,” he said, and let them in.

    Directed by the Gods, Maude sends both Thom and Alanna to page training.
