    Summary

    Kaveh can't get a set of boys' robes until his gender is officially changed on his student ID. He may not be ready to tell the Akademiya yet... but he is ready to tell Alhaitham.

    Coincidentally, his rapidly growing junior might just have a set of robes that fits.

    Summary

    "You are a marvel, not in just the matter of integrity and knowledge, but in your presence and physical beauty as well. Though, I am not the type to hold a high importance in such a thing. Even if you weren't crafted by the loving hands of Aphrodite herself, you would still steal the breath from my lungs each time you smile. And perhaps, in such a case, death by suffocation would not be so terrible.

    Regardless, I have much more I wish to tell you, however I'm running out of room on this paper and it is dangerously close to my bedtime as I write this."

    Summary

    Jahoda stared at her, incredulous. “You’re— you’re jealous?”

    “I am… unfamiliar with that term’s sensation,” Ineffa said carefully, “but I believe it applies.”

    Jahoda laughed once, incredulously, not cruelly, but from disbelief. “Archons, Ineffa, you’re impossible! You can’t just— you don’t feel things like that. You’re a—”

    She stopped herself before saying the word machine, but the silence finished it for her.

    The faint glow behind Ineffa’s eyes dimmed. “I see.”

    Or: Sometimes Jahoda wishes she could shut her big, stupid mouth. Luckily, Ineffa has a way of shutting it for her.
