    Summary

    They are on the road when the rumours first reach them. Dol-Makjar is in chaos, in uprising, and this newborn revolution already has its first martyr. They say that when it became known what the Halovar had been trading away to the hells that the people surged in protest to their gates, and the Halovar lost control of their demons. They say that Captain Nayar broke ranks with the Sundered Houses in defense of the crowd, and many of his guard followed. They say that he rallied them with a display of sorcery so fierce it could only be old-blooded, that as he fell you could see in the smoke and sparks the form of a dragon roaring in anguish. The bold, excitable and perhaps foolish talk of lost great Houses, speak the name of Obridai with breathless eager voices. Risen from the ashes in Dol-Makjar’s, and perhaps Araman’s, darkest hours.

    Julien and the others have barely had time to steady themselves after this new loss when two pigeons arrive, speaking with Murray and Hal's voices.

    “We’re sending the stupid brave fucking idiot to you. Hide him ‘til he’s recovered. Tie him down if you have to.”

    “Please take care of Azune, don’t let him hear it all at once. Poetic licence may have gotten the better of me.”

    Summary

    That Azune has taken him in with a degree of politeness and accommodation that is almost deferential makes it fucking worse, actually. You can’t complain that loud at someone who gave you the only bed and heads out no matter the hour to fetch any cheese or pastry or wine you ask for.

    Fuck. There’s just nothing to do in here.

    (Prompt summary: Azune asks Julien for sex tips/stories for the purpose of being a better honeypot. Julien is extremely upset when he finds out. Full: criticalkink.dreamwidth.org/6355.html?thread=2261971#cmt2261971)

    Summary

    Summary

    Shadia knows in theory that Azune has been to war, but knowing is very different from understanding. Her father went to war, once. He doesn't talk about it. Not really, not to her and or to Alogar either, except in that sideways way that he sometimes talks about dangerous things; telling fantastical stories about something else entirely and letting you read between the lines. Which means Azune has lived something her father thinks that even telling her about is too risky, and Shadia cannot understand.

    (In which Hal's children also love each other, all of them, including the one Uncle Thjazi left on dad's doorstep one day without any warning.

    ...Or: Azune spends a year with the Fang-Lloy-D'vyen family.)
