    Summary

    Yuri makes the pragmatic decision to join Faerghus' army during the assault on Arianrhod, but he is not particularly fond of serving the King of Faerghus. Especially when said King of Faerghus keeps wandering around the slums unguarded, acting like he has any good reason to be there. However, Yuri's tidy little business arrangement to give Dimitri his grand tour of the gutter results in a few... unintended consequences for their relationship.

    Summary

    [In his childhood, it was easier to hide the anxiety. No one knew he wasn’t a happy young prince. He was a happy young prince: adored by his family and friends, beloved by the people. He wanted for nothing, so the moments he found his hands shaking so hard he broke whatever was holding, the moments he was so profoundly nauseous he felt it in his fingernails, and the moments he became too afraid to speak—they had to be outliers, no matter their frequency. Dimitri learned how to hide his trembling strength with his hands locked behind his back, how to swallow food despite the nausea, and how to force the words out of his failing mouth. He laid in bed at night and didn’t sleep, but considered every small failure of the day, every stutter, every mistake, every item broken by the strength he couldn’t control. His thoughts raced endlessly until he was hyperventilating into his pillow.]

    Summary

    [“Hey,” Sylvain says. “It’s safe here, but—just in case—” He stops, biting his lip.

    “Just in case of what?” Dimitri asks.

    “Lock your door and shutters at night,” Sylvain says. “Good night, boss.” He closes the door behind him as he leaves, too quickly for Dimitri to do anything.]

    Summary

    Felix glances back over his shoulder and says, “I don’t think I’m coming back here.”

    Dimitri smiles hesitantly. He replies, “Felix… I am certain you have your own reasons, and – I won’t pry. But if there if there is even the slightest chance that you ever wish to return then I want you to know… There will always be a place for you here.”
    “I know,” Felix says before looking forward again. Though Dimitri cannot see Felix’s face, he imagines that the expression Felix wears is resolute. Because he believes that Felix’s words and decisions must be full of purpose unlikely to easily yield, Dimitri finds his tongue tied and his thoughts unorganized. Felix knows there will be a place that remains for him always – but Dimitri understands that is precisely why there is meaning to the fact that Felix is choosing to leave that place in the first place.

    So Dimitri doesn’t say anything else. Or perhaps it is that Dimitri can’t say anything else.

    Felix leaves. True to his word, he does not ever come back.

    “But that’s not how it actually happens.”
