    Summary

    "What are you-" Occtis's question was cut off into a startled yelp as Julien bent down and scooped him up. He was right that Occtis basically weighed nothing.

    "You are in no fit state to walk," he said in a voice that he hoped would broker no argument from the boy. He just wanted this errand over with.

    Occtis, thankfully, kept his mouth shut, just closing his eyes and letting himself be carried down the street and up the front steps into the red brick building. Julien briefly considered putting him down once they were inside, but Occtis already looked to be dozing and he had no faith in his ability to not pass out in the hallway and get beaten and robbed or worse.

    Summary

    "You'd best try your experiments on me," Julien says acidly. He's rewarded with a sharp inhale from the boy, one which he knows full well Occtis does not actually need. "I'll be down in the cellars tonight, if you insist on continuing your scientific work. If anyone is equipped to take your magic in stride, it is I. Just leave those poor flowers be." 

    He's certainly suffered enough wounds at the hands of the Tachonis already. Better the boy play with fire under his eye, rather than behind his back. Better that Julien judge Occtis Tachonis's new abilities up front, so that he can best defeat them, should the need arise. 

    And besides - he's a wizard, for Shapers' sake. A low-level, books-based, necromantic wizard. Julien can handle him just fine.

    Occtis has some magical experiments to try.
    Julien, as it turns out, might just be the perfect test subject.

    Summary

    “For someone who doesn’t trust me, you were very quick to choose an option of treatment which, arguably, implies that you believe I can keep you alive and whole,” Occtis says without looking up from his task.

    “I had very little choice,” Julien says. “I will not simply lay down and die, and I refuse to lose my arm without trying to save it. What I do or do not believe has nothing to do with it.”

    “I see.”

    There’s something in the boy’s voice, or maybe in the set of his shoulders, that causes Julien to take notice. “Do you believe you can save me?”

    What if the only person who might be able to save your life was the person you trusted the least?
