    Summary

    It was highly inconvenient to find myself transformed into a crow in the Imperial Apartments, and somewhat alarming when I discovered that I could not access my magic, and therefore could not turn back.

    ...

    The small room was empty, and dark. A single patch of silvery moonlight picked out a fluffy piece of fabric draped over the back of the long couch.

    Cliopher stared for a long moment, then became aware of movement by his feet. He looked down. The large black crow had landed beside him in a splatter of ink, and was regarding him solemnly with one gold-rimmed black eye.

    “She’s taken him,” he said, softly.

    Summary

    Kip had never been this reserved for me. Nervous and uncertain, yes, but not reserved. He was still mine, and I needed him to remember that. “What have you to say for yourself?”

    He hesitated, and I gave him the time. If he was going to resist the pull of the leash, then I was willing to draw this out as long as necessary to understand why.

    “Your Radiancy,” he said, “I have come to beg a boon of you.” He stopped there, waiting. I was frozen, trapped behind you, who held yourself in perfect stillness. The creeping uncertainty was coiling in the pit of my stomach, and I needed you to contain it. When I didn’t answer, he continued. “Your Radiancy, I have come to ask you to remove my collar, and release me from your service.”
    ---
    The long journey home after the Fall gave Kip time to think about the nature of his relationship with his Radiancy, but when he returned to Solaara to ask for his freedom, his Radiancy was not enthusiastic about letting him go. With Kip only partially released from his Radiancy’s service, both he and the Emperor must come to grips with what has happened, and find a way to live with it.
