    Summary

    Phainon felt something—or rather someone—shift against his back, warm and firm, and barely muffled down a surprised yelp.
     
    Oh no, he thought, dread filling his chest once more.
     
    As if blacking out and enduring violent hangover symptoms wasn’t enough, he’d also apparently joined someone else in bed last night. Someone else who happened to smell of sweet wine, who left a familiar nose curving against his nape while a muscular, kingly body embraced him from behind.

    Or; Phainon has some small regrets, and a number of doubts, after waking up in bed with his best friend.

    Summary

    Perdikkas comes into view, stepping closer to blink down at Phainon and Mydei on the ground. “You’re all here?”

    Ptolemy scoffs, kicking lightly at the dirt. “Guess who has the extraordinary pleasure of being assigned the babysitting duty to the dumbass trio over here?” He rolls his eyes with a sharp sigh. “Not Peucesta, clearly. Lucky bastard.”

    “Don’t lump me in with them,” Hephaestion protests. Ridiculous. Everyone knows who instigates the fights just as often as Phainon and Mydei.

    “We don’t need babysitting,” Phainon says at the same time, words muffled as Mydei’s hand smashes his head into the ground, resuming their fight now that Ptolemy is distracted. Phainon almost bites down on the dirt by accident.

     

    or; Phainon finds Mydei drifting at the Sea of Souls after Aedes Elysiae is destroyed. Pulling the other kid out of the water might be the best decision of his life

    Summary

    As the headless body of Irontomb shatters, Khaslana falls with it. Captured in a small window of time, somewhere in between the pages of Irontomb’s defeat and the ending, he drifts aimlessly in the space between. His porcelain wings fracture and crumble; the searing beneath his skin subsides. The Destruction chips off of him in tiny, glittering pieces like stars, crackling into nothingness, leaving Phainon raw and aching, eyes shut tight. 33 million cycles turned to dust.

    Time stutters and starts, the past is muddled with the present, and Cyrene floats with him, parting through the layers as she reaches out to touch his shoulder.

    “Sleeping now that the job is done?” she asks fondly, quietly. “You deserve it, of course, but there will be time for that later. I’d like to speak to you first.”

     

    or: Cyrene, the Demiurge, officially meets Phainon

    Summary

    The mystery comes to its conclusion before the Verax Leo in Marmoreal Market. Phainon is not, unlike some of his colleagues, in the habit of damaging the city’s statuary. But if striking with Dawnmaker will satisfy his curiosity, he is willing to risk Aglaea’s displeasure.
    “My lord,” Verax Leo finally grumbles. “It concerns Kremnoan royalty.”
    Phainon’s expression sharpens. “...Has something happened to Mydeimos?”
    “No, Lord Phainon. Nothing like that,” The lion hesitates. “It’s... the princess.”

    Phainon comes to learn that Okhema is obsessed with a drag queen named "Princess of Castrum Kremnos," an extravagantly dressed performer who spends her weekends reducing audiences to laughter with a parody of the real Crown Prince. The crowd thinks it is the ultimate comedy act, happily joking that the princess and prince have never been seen in the same room.

    There is no such parody. Okhema thinks it sees a brilliant satire. Phainon thinks a mysterious performer has stolen the privilege of making fun of his rival. And Mydei is just trying to make sure no one notices that the prince and the princess share the exact same biceps.

    Summary

    The outcomes of Mydei and Phainon’s daily competitions have gotten them nowhere in terms of declaring a decisive winner. That is why Stelle suggests the two women go a different route: compete in a drinking contest, where the winner will be able to command the loser as they please for an entire day.

    Mydei, raised among Kremnoan warriors and highly confident in her ability to drink anyone under the table, accepts without hesitation. Phainon accepts for an entirely different reason. Unfortunately for both of them, Phainon’s idea of a day spent commanding Mydei has very little to do with victory, intending to make her feelings unmistakably clear to the princess.

    Mydei, naturally, has no idea what Phainon is doing.
