Summary
The smoke dissipates, and there stands a man, his kimono in the same gradient as his scales had been, antlers branches of the same imposing ginkgos, eyes filled with the same stars. He smiles and those stars Oz could name like constellations alight.
“Figaro,” Oz says, in greeting, joy, indignation; in everything a name you have spoken for two thousand years can contain.
“Oz. How long has it been?”
“Six turns of the moon.”
“Huh. All things considered, that’s nothing. Drops of water in the ocean.” Figaro’s smile becomes an insouciant smirk. He presses his hand firmer on Oz’s and leans forward, inspecting him. “You had that answer ready. Did you miss me?”
Oz scowls.
“You can say yes, you know,” Figaro says, voice lowering, eyes closing as he gently removes his hand from atop Oz’s to embrace him.

Summary
The night cedes to Oz. Clouds swirl into being to gather over the moon, plunging the land into dark—and over the two of them, in profile appearing a solitary many-limbed blackness.
“You push and pull me worse than the moon does the tides,” Oz says, arm trembling from holding up his weight and nothing more. “I don’t understand you. I am supposed to… You make it impossible.”
Figaro winces. He lets out an uneasy breath. “I know. I’m sorry. And I do mean that.”
“Then why won’t you let me understand you?”
A longer breath in, facilitated by Oz removing his hand, claws shortening to their proper length. Figaro sits up, smoke curling out of his fingertips, plucking the cup from the ground to drop it on his waiting hand.
