Summary
Aleksander had waited centuries to meet the sun summoner. When he was young, the idea of a sun summoner had captured him instantly. They would be someone like him, who would understand what it was to be different, even from other Grisha. He would no longer have to be alone with only his mother for company; he would no longer have to hide. As he got older, his expectations for a sun summoner changed. He thought of them as an ally and equal, to stand by him in his fight to protect Grisha. Someone who, like him, would not age, would remain with him long after everything around them was dust and memory. He knew they would be young when he found them, but he would guide them and train them and together they would accomplish miracles. And now the day had finally arrived. The sun summoner stood before him:

Summary
Aleksander contemplated and discarded several lies, before settling on the one that was likely to yield the most optimal results. “I am a soldier in the First Army. Our patrol was attacked by Fjerdan soldiers.” Aleksander did not know how this farmer’s wife would react to finding out the infamous Black General was in her bed, so he was careful to not reveal this to her. Even knowing he was Grisha may be too much for the woman, as most otkazat’sya were fearful and small-minded. “I do not know what happened to the rest of my patrol,” Aleksander offered, hoping to play on her sympathy. “Would you be able to get a message to the nearest First Army outpost?”
Alina leaned forward in her chair, gently setting her hand on his. “I’m sorry, Eryk. But I’m afraid that won’t be possible. Mal is worried about how close you were attacked to our farm. He won’t be willing to leave me to deliver your message, not when we don’t know if it’s safe.”
____________Or that story where Aleksander is hurt and collapses outside Mal and Alina's farm. Aleksander tries to keep his identity as the Darkling from them. Meanwhile, Mal and Alina are trying to keep it a secret that they kill people.
