    Summary

    Wei Ying abandons her suitcase to investigate the sleeping situation, already coming up with a hundred reasons not to inconvenience Lan Zhan by stealing half of her fucking bed, and then gets a better look at it.

    It’s huge. Wei Ying has seen a king bed before, and this is bigger than that. Is that a California King? Is that what those huge-ass orgy beds are called? There are parking spaces smaller than this bed. Wei Ying has lived in apartments smaller than this bed.

    “You know,” Wei Ying says thoughtfully, “I’ll level with you. I was gonna volunteer to sleep on the couch, or steal some pillows and blankets and sleep in the bathtub, but then I saw this monstrosity. Lan Zhan, look at this fucking bed.”

    Lan Zhan rests her hands on the room divider, her face softly amused. “I am looking.”

    “We could tend a whole herd of sheep on this bed,” Wei Ying says, warming to her subject. “We could cross the Pacific Ocean and weather any storm on this bed. Fuck, Lan Zhan, I could stage an entire community theatre production of Chicago on this bed.”

    Or: There was only one bed, but that part's fine, actually.

    Summary

    "The idea that I would enter into a marriage with any motive other than the obvious one was, of course, the most egregious mistake.”

    "The obvious one," Phoenix says, his voice quiet; confined to the space between them. “What was that, again?”

    “I believe you know." Miles turns his face into Phoenix's temple, feeling the quick-beat of his pulse, racing beneath his lips, the smell of Phoenix's shampoo mingled with sweat and their particular brand of laundry detergent; of home. "As I believe our reasons were the same."

    "Right." Phoenix laughs softly. "And I'm guessing 'saving money on taxes' wasn't one of them."

    Summary

    It takes weeks for him to realise that Vex visits more often than anyone else. But that’s easily rationalised in one simple step: she doesn’t like the cold. There is a reason beyond camouflage in dappled forest light that she wears near as many layers as he does, and it certainly isn’t considerations of appropriate wardrobe on her part. She can’t sew for toffee, but she darns her socks religiously, almost obsessively, and not even Vax teases her for it. He could not understand the need to darn them so at first, and still wonders at it now. They’ve never hurt for coin, not really, and even if they had they would have scrounged together enough for new socks. Vex’ahlia certainly goes out of her way to ensure that they’re all well equipped, their basic needs met for the road, so he can’t see why she doesn’t buy new socks for herself. Perhaps it’s simply that no one else notices how much she does for them, too busy laughing about how fiercely she haggles with every poor merchant and vendor who is unlucky enough to stumble into her path.

    Perhaps it’s just that Percy is far more aware of Vex’ahlia than is prudent or polite to admit.

    Phoenix does it anyway.

    “What?” Kaz blurts.

    Or: Kaz Brekker conquers intimacy. It's both easier and harder than he planned.
