    Summary

    “Hey Azune,” Hal said when he came in. His voice had gone even softer than it was when he helped Azune calm down after a nightmare. He held the wicker carrier up to let him see inside.

    Between the cushioned sides of the basket lay a tiny baby. Much smaller than Azune had ever seen before. They had skin the color of late-summer clover and thin dark hair across their head and the most perfect little ears that came to a point towards the back. They were asleep, swaddled in a blanket.

    “Meet Namai Areil.”

    When one of Hal's acquaintances finds herself struggling to care for her new baby, he offers to take care of the little one for a week so she can rest and recover from the birth. He's no stranger to fostering, after all.

    What he wasn't expecting, but maybe should have been, was for his other current foster Azune to be so much help. And through helping care for the baby, Azune may learn some things about taking care of himself.

    Summary

    Shadia knows in theory that Azune has been to war, but knowing is very different from understanding. Her father went to war, once. He doesn't talk about it. Not really, not to her and or to Alogar either, except in that sideways way that he sometimes talks about dangerous things; telling fantastical stories about something else entirely and letting you read between the lines. Which means Azune has lived something her father thinks that even telling her about is too risky, and Shadia cannot understand.

    (In which Hal's children also love each other, all of them, including the one Uncle Thjazi left on dad's doorstep one day without any warning.

    ...Or: Azune spends a year with the Fang-Lloy-D'vyen family.)

    Summary

    “It’s different when I’m… looking at it. Thinking about it. Do I need to tell you again about the whole ‘taboo’ thing? I can go over it again.”

    “And I watch you. We are already several layers deep into taboo.”

    “I would be eating myself!”

    “Grace,” I can’t help but stamp a claw for emphasis. It needs to listen,”your body is already eating itself.”

    Grace finds out that he can stomach the meburger.

    It’s not a happy moment!
