Summary
"A sweat breaks out across the back of his neck, blinking at the regretful realization that, if somebody’s here in the room with him, he has no way of knowing. He reaches for the candle on the desk, but freezes in fear at the thought of waving it aloft and revealing some evil creature lurking where he can’t see.
He swallows again nervously and tries to will the shakiness out of his voice. 'Hello?'
The lack of response makes him feel both foolish and unnerved. His voice sounds meek. If he had to defend himself, how would he? He doesn’t have a weapon on him—why should he?
Mika’s heart stops at the exact moment that the hairs on his nape rise, tickled by a puff of warm breath.
'Up late?'"
Or: Mika's up way too late working on other Knights' reports. Lohen takes it upon himself to fix that.

Summary
"Scara doesn’t seem to think twice—or even once. It’s an instinctual movement, the way he rips back from Ajax and wraps a hand around his throat. All he can do is choke out a startled noise, shocked at the vice-grip from his once-tender fingers.
'Wh—?!'
'Shut it, idiot,' he hisses through a clenched jaw, grip tightening onto Ajax’s jugular as if to warn him not to disobey.
And it’s a good thing he doesn’t—the voice isn’t so distant at all, and a flash of white at the corner of his vision lends Ajax to fixate his attention on the flow of robes that is the Damselette, slowly gliding down the hallway."
or: a sudden... passionate moment in the hallway at zapolyarny palace is interrupted

Summary
" 'Hey! Are you even listening to me?'
'Kaveh,' the scribe murmurs, his gaze still elsewhere. 'Please… lower your voice.'
Some years ago, Kaveh probably would’ve bristled at this. He might have even snapped a snarky retort right back to him. By now, though, he’s learned a few things about Alhaitham—Namely that, when he tells him to be quiet, it isn’t personal. Well, usually."
Or: While exploring a desert ruin, Alhaitham's headphones get knocked off. Kaveh knows exactly how to handle it.

Summary
"Her eyes peer down at the covers now tucked around her chin, and she tilts her head. There’s a glint in her eye, something shrewd and benevolent. Still, her voice is quiet with sleep when she speaks again. 'This seems familiar to you.' She watches him through her half-closed eyes. 'Perhaps you’ve done this before.'
Kusanali, who’s seen all of his memories. He can only stare, the words hanging in the air between them."
Or: He can't explain why, despite everything, Kuni is starting to care for the Goddess of Wisdom—and he can't help the memories that resurface of a young boy from years long ago.

Summary
“'You should show me!' In front of him, Kel stands and Sunny is making eye contact with two messy and torn up sneakers. He furrows his eyes at the paper before looking up.
'Show you?'
Kel circles back to the piano. 'Yeah! Why not!' He sits back down on the bench and kicks his feet a bit, which must be intentional because his legs are definitely long enough to reach the floor. 'You used to play, right?'
Sunny stares at the piano. It’s almost like it stares back.
'I bet Mari would be happy if she knew it wasn’t completely going unused..!'”

Summary
"Not a chance, sir. You can't go on like this, beggin' you pardon. It has to be done tonight, an' I know it's not a pretty stuff to go through." Sam's words fell into muffled silence. He jolted his hand from Frodo's shoulder, and took in a quick breath. "Want me to help?"
Frodo thought himself to be rather clumsy in everything connected to his illness, or more so, his many illnesses. It took him time to learn bandaging his hand and some parts of his back, and he would lie if he were to say the phantom pains in his right fingers were a thing he managed to simply ignore. Still, he was much more confident in almost every aspect of it, especially compared to the days he first got that. He understood — were he to try hard enough, he would be good with healing his own scars, even the ones on the high up if he was to use a long item of a kind. He could manage.
In truth, he just preferred when Sam was doing it.
And so he finally smiled and made an attempt to stand up from his desk, though his legs still felt quite unsteady.
"It would be a pleasure."
Or: Sam offers his help in tending to Frodo's scars. Not a minute is spent on healing them in conventional ways.
