Summary
"Cliopher will be staying in my rooms for the duration of his recovery," Conju went on. "The healers have assured me that he will be sleeping for a while and won't be able to pay close attention to his surroundings." A short pause, before Conju spoke again, with uncharacteristic hesitation. "It is likely that he would not realise that you were there, should you, at any point, wish to see for yourself that your orders for him to remain abed were followed."
Note: This Touch AU takes its canon divergence point from a scene in the Embers series fic Unquenchable, which is set shortly after Petty Treasons and deals with Kip's episode of bonebreak fever mentioned in Hands of the Emperor. It's written as a standalone - it's not necessary to read any of the Embers fics to follow this one - though Unquenchable does give Kip's pov of some of the early scenes if that's of any interest.

I must admit it was a relief when the sea opened up beneath us and swallowed our little vaha whole: drowning in the depths of the Sea of Stars could not possibly be more excruciating than the conversation I was—or rather wasn’t—having with Kip Mdang.

Summary
"I believe the standard penalty is being strung up by one's toes, flayed alive, disembowelled, quartered by four wild horses, and finally having one's remnants scattered across the Solamen Fens for the fen spirits and crocodiles to feed upon."
