    Summary

    Qifrey looked up to the big window. The ocean hummed deeply like any other day in the Great Hall. He always hated how it looked so tranquil despite holding a great power enough to devastate the land above. Like a sleeping apex predator, the sea was calm as long as no ripple touched its surface.

    “You’re right. Maybe I just need time to adjust.”

    He’s suffocating.

    Qifrey's journey towards healing.

    Summary

    “We’re rich?” Tetia exclaimed. She had been sitting with this information for approximately thirty seconds, which was about her limit. “We’ve been rich?” She pushed back from the table. “Master Olly.” She pointed at him, scandalized. “Last month, when I asked if I could have that embroidered skirt from the market in Kalhn, you said—”

    “I said you didn’t need any new clothes. Which is true.”

    “You said we had a budget.”

    “We do have a budget. A budget is just—” But he had already lost control of the conversation.

    Olruggio never made a big deal about the money his specialized commissions got him. They got what they needed, and some extra at that. To the others, however, it is quite a revelation.

    “Married witches?” the man repeats it with raised brows, a mystified look on his face. “You’re a Watchful Eye that is married? I'm... that’s - new, for me."

    or

    Five times Olruggio jokes (and lies) that he’s married and has kids to (dodge) people (mostly his clients), and that one time he [redacted].

    Summary

    Olruggio knew, long before it all came crashing down, that he’d made a terrible decision. That the consequences would catch up to him, and there’d be no avoiding a series of potentially world-ending conversations.

    He just hadn’t expected it to happen quite so spectacularly.

    The initial idea, prompted by a suggestion from an older noblewoman who’d commissioned him for something completely different, wasn’t bad at all. He’d been working on a set of singing stones, and the lady had made an offhanded comment about the potential of magic that could make an object resonate. She’d meant it as a joke, but where she saw humor, Olruggio saw potential—and told her as much.

    And just like that, he’d had a commission. And a problem.
