    Summary

    “I would love to,” he replies, all gallantry, and this is how he keeps his reputation intact. Nothing about length or lack thereof, awkward realizations or—Maker forbid—crying of any sort. When she tires of him and goes elsewhere, she’ll at least have this story to tell. Emmrich Volkarin is maudlin and a dork, she might say, but he ate me out like my pussy was a peach. She will find pleasure’s peak, multiple times if he has anything to say about it, before she even remembers the possibility that he has a cock. One that she might, perhaps, deign to touch.

    Emmrich Volkarin versus the mortifying ordeal of being known.

    Summary

    Putting it as bluntly as she can, Johanna simply states, “Your parents died. Your parents loved you.”

    Volkarin steeples his hands together, comprehension dawning on his features despite what continues to be left unsaid between them. “Ah. I—you never did tell me how you came to live at the Grand Necropolis.”

    She scoffs. “What was there to tell? It’s only the same tale from all over Thedas. Parents have child. Parents don’t want a child with magic. Pah!” A surge of resentment swells within her. Why is she talking about this? Why is she talking about this with him? She hasn’t so much as thought about this in years. It hardly matters now. Just look at everything she’s achieved! She’s fifty-one years young and she’s going to live forever.

    (Or: While Rook is trapped in the Fade prison, Johanna and Emmrich are forced to help each other overcome their own regrets.)

    Summary

    The theory of Special Relativity, in simple terms, insists that the laws of physics for all observers in any inertial space relative to one another are always the same. As well as the speed of light, if observed in essential isolation is likewise the same, despite their relative motions and including its light source.

    While alone, the observations are relative to one another so long as they remain perpetually in motion.
