Summary
Essek waits. Perhaps he is supposed to guess the likeliest offer and spare Caleb the embarrassment of asking? He keeps his mouth shut, waiting, watching Caleb wrestle internally with his shame and desires. It’s an engaging sight.
“I want you to use me.” Caleb says at last.
Ah. Ambiguous language, to a less discerning individual. Essek understands, but wishes to draw it out from Caleb’s own lips. “Use you?” he lingers on the syllables. “Yes, to ferret out spies from the Empire. We’ve discussed this.”
Caleb shakes his head in a twitching movement. “No. Not like that.” His hands fail briefly in agitation. He’s coming apart at the seams, this man. Essek very much wants to know what’s hidden underneath.

Summary
“I don’t just hand out a real reading on corners and in bars,” Mollymauk said. “You want a real reading? I can give you a real reading. Upstairs, and with a proper set up. Maybe you can prove that fateful card there wrong.”
He tilted his head just a bit and his grin sharpened into something more suggestive. He could see the flush spreading up Caleb’s cheeks, and that alone was another success for the evening, if nothing else.
But then Caleb stood up, facing him with less than a foot between them, and Molly’s posture almost collapsed when that aura washed over him, sending shivers streaking up and down his spine. His tail lashed for a moment before wrapping securely around his ankle.
“Fine,” said Caleb shortly. His face was carefully blank, but his eyes were bright, fiery, and his cheeks were red.

Mollymauk has been slowly intensifying his flirting game with Caleb as his confidence grows that the wizard is, in fact, also interested. It culminates in a tarot reading.

Summary
Caleb must be a Duke for this mission, so that leaves Molly to be his... companion.
You may be wondering: is this the kind of indulgent writing that includes sleeping furs, large tankards of mead, and snuggling for warmth?
Dear reader, it is exactly that.
