    Summary

    “Coco,” He starts, doing his best to hide the urgency of his instructions, “I need you to run back to the atelier and find Olruggio. Can you do that for me?”

    “B-but Professor Qifrey, you’ll be all alone in there…!”

    “Coco, please. Tell him to hurry.”

    AKA Qifrey panics, doesn’t want to accept he’s panicking, and then tries to sweep the whole ordeal under the rug.

    Summary

    “We’re rich?” Tetia exclaimed. She had been sitting with this information for approximately thirty seconds, which was about her limit. “We’ve been rich?” She pushed back from the table. “Master Olly.” She pointed at him, scandalized. “Last month, when I asked if I could have that embroidered skirt from the market in Kalhn, you said—”

    “I said you didn’t need any new clothes. Which is true.”

    “You said we had a budget.”

    “We do have a budget. A budget is just—” But he had already lost control of the conversation.

    Olruggio never made a big deal about the money his specialized commissions got him. They got what they needed, and some extra at that. To the others, however, it is quite a revelation.

    Summary

    She scuffs her feet against the hardwood floors absently and contemplates the 'please knock' sign. Olruggio will certainly not let her in if she knocks, since it’s late and Master Olly is especially exasperated about Agott’s tendency to all-nighters, but Agott needs this mentorship now. It’s probably best to invite herself in.

    Probably. Worst case scenario, Olruggio is in the middle of something very important and bothering him topples the whole tower down and Professor Qifrey decides it’s vital that Agott be lectured about respecting space and private time. As if Agott doesn’t understand the concept! Just, sometimes things are emergencies.

    Sometimes, one's lover's student needs someone to explain love to her, and that can't wait until after a deadline.

    Summary

    Qifrey hasn't been to visit since Beldaruit offered Coco a place in his atelier.

     

    MANGA SPOILERS through the first time they meet Beldaruit. Technically takes place after Silver Eve, but doesn't really contain any major spoilers for that arc. Can be read if you are an anime only watcher, but there will be Qifrey backstory spoilers. No chapter 40 or chapter 93 spoilers, though hinted at.
