    Summary

    If he still had a heart, it would be racing. She's so close, suddenly, and there's so much of her. There's always been so much of her, obviously. She's boundless, Thimble is. She's magic and mirth and bravery taken form -

    - but she's surrounding Occtis now, and he can't run away. That's really the crux of it. She's alive, even though he ran away, even though he abandoned her - and she's warm and breathing, not cold and lifeless on the floor, and no one has touched Occtis like this in forever. He wouldn't let them - he still can't let them, but it's her, so he can. And she's so - she's so very -

    "How did this happen?" he whispers into her shoulder, clutching her desperately. Maybe he's wrong. Maybe she's a dream after all. Maybe she's the last good dream he'll ever have, and she'll float away if he doesn't hold her tight.

    ***

    Occtis and Thimble finally converge.

    Summary

    "So, Thimble, did you and Thjazi ever—" Kattigan breaks off, making a crude gesture with his hands.

    "What?" Thimble is so taken aback, her wings actually stop mid-flight. She drops a whole inch before the instinct kicks back in. "Ew, Kattigan! No! What's wrong with you?"

    "But you loved him, yeah?"

    Summary

    Percival blinks. "I'm surprised they did not raid the treasury," he says. Which is not what he should be surprised about, right now. Really.

    He should be more concerned about the fact that the amassed wealth of the de Rolo family - and whatever horrible taxation and theft the Briarwoods exerted on Whitestone - is currently hidden by the sinuous bulk of a dragon.

    --

    Vex'ahlia has always been great at suppressing her draconic instincts - she's so good at it! No issues with hoarding gold, or territorial behavior, or eating princesses. She's just not sure what her instincts are telling her about Percy.

    Summary

    ""Do I get to know what you've been slaving through sleepless nights making for me, then?" Van says with an edge too much bristle and bite. "Is this you trying to one up Comfrey? I'm sure it would be nice to feel some kind of satisfaction for everything she's done."

    "I am not doing this to one up Comfrey," Marya says, quieter than Van expected. "I am doing this because you will likely die if I don't, and because I refuse to live in a world let alone captain a ship that doesn't have Van Chapman in it." A raw wave of emotion tugs at whatever mask she's still carefully keeping up. "I am also doing this because I have wished everyday for the last five years that I could have done it for you then, when you first needed it.""
