    Summary

    As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following:

    --His clothing was expensive and stylish;
    --He wore very strange but noticeable cologne;
    --His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;”
    --He looked angry;
    --He was wearing sunglasses.

    What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?

    Summary

    Verso shifts on his feet, jaw tensing. He’s sticking his neck out for the stroke of embarrassment, but perhaps that doesn’t matter. Not when it’s Gustave laughing at him. “Well, I’m asking.”

    Gustave looks over at him now, demanding attention. Verso can only give it. “Asking me what?”

    “Are you going to make me say it?” Verso asks, quieter, tilting his head.

    “Could I?” Gustave looks curious. “Make you?”

    Summary

    Verso is rinsing out his spare shirt in the river when he hears crunching footfalls on moss. He continues his idle work, which really was little more than an excuse to let the rattled Expeditioners stew over their situation in peace. The steps pause somewhere behind him.

    “Sneaking off already?”

    A man’s voice—it has to be Gustave, Maelle’s guardian. Strange to think it’s the first time he hears it.
