    Summary

    "Sir Vander," Pandreo greets after a deep bow. "It's so good to see you." He strokes delicately at his tea cup, still much too hot to drink from.

    "Of course, Sir Pandreo," Vander returns. "I always enjoy catching up with former fellow soldiers. And of course, you are the Divine Dragon King's chosen partner. So..what would you like to discuss?"

    Former soldier. He's a former soldier before the Pact Ring means anything. The extra pairs of eyes on him burn into the back of his skull. "Ah…well. I'll get right to it. I would like to become a steward of the Divine Dragon King."

    Vander's steady grip on his teacup slips on the way to his mouth, sloshing near-boiling liquid all over the pristine tablecloth.

    Summary

    Only a man who loves nothing above the sound of his own voice could get up in front of a crowd and speak with any authority about a higher power.

    That was Pandreo's stance, until the Divine One had whispered his brilliant plan into the priest's ear only a few short nights ago.

    Summary

    As the music picks up again, and the din of the crowd slowly encroaches, the Divine One's lips graze his ear, making his knees buckle:

    "Please come to my room after the ceremony, Pandreo," his King murmurs. "Unless you have other plans. But I hope you don't."

    Summary

    "Divine One," Alear repeats, like a new phrase in an unspoken language. "There is nothing Divine in my blood. I am a child of the Fell."

    Pandreo's heart seizes, chest twisting with dread.

    "I cannot fathom why you are familiar to me," Alear continues. "Yet you show no fear, even as a priest of the Divine. A curious thing."

    Summary

    They start with curiosity and end with the dawn of a new day. A fond memory, satisfactory in its briefness. Perfectly finite.

    Such is Claude’s usual pattern for these trysts. Ultimately, solely his goal to stand in front of the world victorious, on the highest step with the gold medal around his neck, matters. What happens in the Olympic village, stays and is left here.

    Or so he thought.
