Summary
Essek visits the Xhorhaus again to teach Caleb more dunamancy. Unfortunately, Caleb can only endure so much formal arcane teaching before the memory of his last formal training gets in the way.
(Inspired by my own musings on what would happen if formal arcane teaching triggered Caleb the way fire did. "You continue to copy the spells, while Essek watches and occasionally corrects you. Make a wisdom saving throw.")

Summary
Jester says, “You made a greenhouse,” and Essek looks up.
Palms and figs and mangroves and tree ferns reach up for the ceiling, and a sourceless waterfall spills through them. The walkway spirals upward, clinging impossibly to the dangling roots of a banyan tree, and vanishes into the greenery. Everywhere there are flowers — dusky pink orchids and brilliant bromeliads, violet and yellow and red.
Essek takes a shaky breath. “I’ll show you your rooms.”

Summary
“I would like you to know me,” Caleb says.
It feels like a secret. Like the darkest part of him cracked open; all his months and years of hiding, of wrapping his arms and scratching the bindings, of not loving, not loving anything but an unkillable cat — it’s unraveling around him. He feels naked. He feels the way he did the first time Pumat Sol spelled him clean.
“I find that — I would like you to know me,” he says, again.
