    Summary

    Kaveh's scarlet eyes studied him for a moment, still holding his cup in a ritualistic manner. “In the old warrior rites,” he explained, “to offer someone a bottle of Xocoatl was how warriors pledged themselves to someone. It was more than a simple gift, but a symbol of your intention of binding your souls together.”

    Alhaitham cleared his throat. “So, it was something akin to a betrothal gift?”

    Kaveh considered the question for a moment, then nodded. “In human terms, I suppose that’s about right,” he conceded. “Sharing the drink with each other just like we did meant to choose each other as life partners.”

    While searching for the truth behind the mysterious disappearances in Avidya Forest, Alhaitham ends up betrothed to an ancient deity.

    Summary

    That was supposed to be Kaveh’s easy job: an easy client trying to stand out in a less competitive market.

    However, when working with an stubborn man like Alhaitham proved to be a greater challenge than first anticipated, Kaveh was forced to consider whether it would be possible to touch the heart of an unreachable person without hurting himself in the process.

    Summary

    “Archons, Wriothesley, when did that happen?” Clorinde immediately asked after finishing reading the letter.
    “What do you mean?”
    “What I mean is that this definitely reads like a courting letter.” She rolled her eyes.
    That was definitely not what Wriothesley was expecting to hear. “Wait, are you serious?” he immediately shot back. “Do you think he is courting me?"

    Perhaps Neuvillette and Wriothesley had a complete different idea of where their weekend was supposed to go.

    Summary

    Every word that left Alhaitham’s mouth left Kaveh even more confused — it was clear to him that his roommate deeply misunderstood the nature of his relationship with his client, yet what stood out to him the most was the idea that Alhaitham had been offering to help him all along.

    Circumstances drive Kaveh to resort to sex work in order to make ends meet. Being kept in the dark about it, Alhaitham deals with that as well as one would expect.

    Summary

    That recipe was definitely different from his grandma’s — spicier, a testament to Kaveh’s own tastes — and yet, it definitely carried a similar meaning: they cared for him.

    Summary

    If Sumeru was entering a new era, what harm would there be in Alhaitham also acting on his impulses for a change?
