    Summary

    He did not know how best to put it into words. I dreamed of you, he could say, because there had not been a night in months where he had not been hunted in his sleep by a brindled hart with wolf’s teeth. I thought you were taken mad, he could say, but Lyonel’s eyes were black and gold and the light of frenzy was in his face, and he could very well be mad. He certainly did not look like a man in his right mind, but the madness threw his features into contrast and made him more handsome somehow. It seemed unwise to let you be alone, he could say, because there was a blooming seed of fear in his gut that poor half-mad, half-beast Lyonel on his own in the rainwood would fall victim to bear or wolf or some lost hunter—

    Foolish, Dunk knew, since the hart had survived his heats near as long as Dunk had been alive. Even a direwolf might pause at the sight of Lyonel and his splendid rack of antlers, forked like lightning with tines like arrowheads. He was a creature of sleek hard strength and blooded instinct. When his gaze met Dunk’s, it was Dunk who flinched away. What fool would think of hunting him?

    Summary

    This Robert considers carefully. Then watches Flambae just as carefully as he says, willing his face with all his might into something unreadable, “I don't beg, Flambae. But you can.”

    There's a flush to Flambae's neck and tiny flames flicker at the tips of his fingers—blink, and they're gone. Robert doesn't blink.

    Robert's good at telling people what to do. Flambae's great at testing people's patience. It's a casual arrangement that Robert enters with a cool head and zero unresolved issues. Don't even worry about it.

    Summary

    Henry expected his stint as Lord Capon’s champion in the Rattay Tourney would be a one-off humiliation. To his dismay, his lord insisted he keep trying, even as he faced defeat after defeat.

    When finally fed up, Henry demands training from Sir Hans, but neither of them expects what more would grow out of their sparring, leading them both down a path of quiet yearning and unearthing feelings best left buried.
