    Summary

    “You’re going to have to explain yourself,” Al-Haitham said once while Kaveh was half asleep on his shoulder, not paying any attention to the movie he’d put on Al-Haitham’s massive TV.

    “Huh?”

    “To your friends. If you have any.”

    “Fuck you, I have friends,” Kaveh replied, and then he fell asleep.

    Summary

    Facts Kaveh learned at age thirteen about the long-dead Grand Sage Al-Haitham for a school project:

    He was raised by his grandmother. He was rude and antisocial, often described as a lunatic. He didn’t like animals. He was the victim of an unsuccessful assassination attempt after stepping down as grand sage, a position he did not want in the first place. After his grandmother died, he never married and lived with a man until he presumably died peacefully of old age. Thirteen year old Kaveh held that last fact very close to his aching chest, but he didn’t include it in his report.

    Kaveh meets a man with grey hair that he definitely doesn't recognize, probably. A reincarnation AU.

    Summary

    “Is this some sort of courting ritual,” Al-Haitham finally gives in, loathing that he’s given Cyno the upper hand.

    Cyno looks at the air beside Al-Haitham’s face, his owlish eyes narrowed into something more thoughtful. “Not to my knowledge.”

    An unexpectedly ambiguous response for someone as unambiguous as the General Mahamatra. Al-Haitham watches as a wisp of baby hair falls onto Cyno’s forehead and he immediately pushes it back. “You would know,” Al-Haitham informs him.

    “I honestly don’t think that I would.”

    Summary

    For some reason, this sends Durin deeper into despair. For a moment, he manages to hold himself together, biting down on his bottom lip as silent tears stream from his red eyes, but his composure breaks and he curls in on himself. Durin’s chest heaves with wheezy, racking sobs as he buries his face in his hands.

    “Look what you did,” Hat Guy whispers, narrowing his eyes at Sethos. “You talk too much.”

    Durin reads a sad story. Sethos is unprepared.

    Summary

    “I shouldn’t pry into your business,” Illuga says. “I only asked because I was thinking about something you said in Nasha Town. You said your friends don’t understand your habits.”

    “I detect an unasked question. Would you like to know if I consider us friends? Or perhaps what kind of strange habits I was talking about? Frankly, young master, my private affairs are none of—”

    “I am not asking about your private affairs,” Illuga interrupts, looking at the ground. “And I wasn’t asking if you consider us friends, either. I suppose I wanted to know if that was why you spend all your time at the Final Night Cemetery, instead of with the rest of the Lightkeepers.” 

    A normal afternoon with two normal Lightkeepers.
