    Summary

    The smoker leans back against his door and surveys you both, narrow shoulders rising as he laughs at one of Harry’s jokes. Some patently bizarre observation that is nevertheless surprisingly astute and irresistibly funny. Usually he saves his quips for you.

    Usually. How long does it take something to become usual? You’ve only known each other for a few days.

    (Kim is jealous of the smoker on the balcony.)

    Summary

    "If you’re going to take something from someone who wants it, you need to be stealthy and you need to be quick. Otherwise…” Here, Doric lets her tail float up behind her, “you’ll end up a kebab. Capiche?”

    In the bright morning sunshine, it’s easy to see the line of Kira’s throat move as she swallows. She nods once, and then mutters, “Sorry, Doric.”

    “Yeah, yeah. You’re forgiven.” Doric sighs. “You can do what you want, Kira. You just need to do it better than that.”

    (In which Kira wants to be a rogue, Doric is the closest thing around, and she's not exactly pleased to be playing mentor. She gets over it.)

    Lord Yendar, once a paladin of Ilmater, has been called back to Waterdeep in the aftermath of his father’s death. Upon his arrival, he discovers he must reckon with an untrustworthy executor, an estate in shambles, and a wholly unexpected stipulation in his father’s will.

    Edgin Darvis is trying to find the one big score that will let him build back a life that went off the rails years ago. When he hears the rumors that a young and inexperienced Lord Yendar has come back to town, he knows just what he has to do.

    Summary

    High Sage Kenji blesses Fire Prince Zuko with the resilience of the reed, who bends in the wind and never breaks. When he is done, Fire Prince Ozai narrows his eyes, seemingly displeased by this blessing. But Kenji does not speak for himself; he is only a vessel. 

    -

    The newly-crowned Fire Lord Ozai offers his firstborn son to service in the temple.

    This turns out to be a catastrophic mistake.
