    Summary

    "I like collars and leashes,” says Kafka, not entirely off-handed, not entirely serious. She can’t be, right? She can’t possibly be serious. Right?

    "Like a dog?” Himeko asks.

    "For the right woman, I can even bark. Woof.” She smirks.

     

    Kafka gets topped to pieces by Himeko.

    Summary

    Venturing into the desert after runaway thesis students is, unfortunately, a normal part of Cyno's job. The same can't be said of Alhaitham, feeble scholar extraordinare, and yet he's here anyway. It's an addition Cyno doesn't need, no matter how helpful Alhaitham can be, but though the company's better than expected, the complications only get worse from there.

    Summary

    Al-Haitham seemed to notice his little change and scooted closer, his other arm resting behind the sofa, almost wrapping Cyno around his shoulder. “We deserve to relax, too, don’t we?” Al-Haitham leaned close to him, lips close to his ears, and Cyno’s breath hitched, feeling dizzy.

    “We do… it’s been a while since I fully relaxed.” Cyno answered in a whisper, heart beating so loudly he was afraid that the other would take notice of the loud thumping.

    Al-Haitham squeezed his bare thigh again and shuffled even closer, forcing Cyno to lean back, almost lying at the armrest of the sofa. “So you’re okay with it?” The corner of Al-Haitham’s lips curled higher, eyes dangerously flickering at the display he saw before him.

    Summary

    At the celebration feast, Nilou asked Cyno if he would be happy continuing to be the General Mahamatra.

    Cyno said, “It’s not about being happy. There are merely a lot of things that I must do.”

    Alhaitham can’t say for certain why Cyno’s words bothered him. In a way, the sentiment is unsurprising; Cyno is, after all, dutiful to a fault. It makes sense that he puts his work over himself. Even so, Alhaitham wonders what the shape of Cyno’s happiness would be, if he allowed it to take form. If he ever allowed someone like Alhaitham to witness it.

    Which he certainly never would.

    Or: In the midst of the Akademiya’s rebuilding, Nahida sends her closest advisors on a trip through Sumeru.
