Summary
Occtis Tachonis is dead, kind of, and he's having a hard time coming to terms with everything that entails. Dead things shouldn't be anywhere other than six feet under, yet here he is. People around him pretend everything's the same, but he knows that things will never go back to how they used to be; everyone's walking on eggshells around him, except one man.
Sir Julien Davinos.
Julien's in mourning, seemingly permanently in the anger stage of his grief, and nobody can really blame him. For his part, he blames the Tachonis, and that includes their estranged son who should have stayed dead.

Summary
“I never really sleep anymore,” Occtis hears himself saying. He tastes salt on his lips as he speaks, and it tastes how food used to. “I close my eyes and four hours passes in a blink, but I don’t feel rested. I’m surprised by my reflection in mirrors, but I’ve almost stopped flinching from the self I don’t recognize. I’m not hungry but I need to eat, otherwise my mind slows and my body begins to fall apart. What I eat I can barely taste. I can’t decide what I miss the most, the feeling of being rested or the satisfaction that comes from eating a good meal.” Occtis tries to stop speaking, but one more phrase makes it out on the last of his breath. “There’s a hollow place where my heart was, and it’s always cold.”

Summary
"Azune didn’t manage to avoid a flinch with the first strike, the stinging pain catching him off guard, but he was better prepared for the next. His jaw and hands ached as he bit down against the gag and tightened his fingers in the bonds. Looking forward so no one in the crowd could see the pain in his eyes, he forced himself to let his shoulders drop, made the muscles in his back relax. The less taught his skin was, the less deep the whip would cut."
Sir Harondis Einfasen has found out what Azune did to try to help Thjazi escape, and isn't willing to grant much clemency because it hadn't worked. After being imprisoned for two days while they decide what to do with him, Azune is taken to the Guardian Wall and whipped. Afterwards, Hal, Thaisha, and Occtis will take care of him (with a little extra help from Pin).

Summary
“You should bring your Maker here,” Wulfric says. The sun is low in the sky, shading towards dusk. “To meet my Companion. It would do him good, I think. He is lonely, that is what drew me from his heart in the first place, and while he says I am all he needs, I know it for a lie.”
Pin considers this. Is Occtis lonely? It’s true that he seems to have few friends that he has seen, save for Thaisha, who had called Pin “the cutest abomination of nature” that she had ever laid eyes on, which had caused Occtis to chuckle. “I can try,” is what he finally says. “But he usually stays in cities.”
“And Kattigan rarely leaves the forest,” Wulfric says. “Still.” He lays his muzzle briefly on Pin’s back. “You are welcome here, with or without the one who made you.
