    Summary

    "Erase it. Qifrey, you have to erase it, all of it, do it now while you still—"

    "No."

    "You promised me—"

    "I know what I promised." He was half-blind and half-tree and irrevocably finished, and the sound of Olruggio begging him to take his memories was worse than anything the silverwood had done to him or would yet do. "I'm not going to do it."

    In which the silverwood has pierced his lungs and Qifrey tries his hand at truthfulness with Olruggio. He hasn't got much practice, but Olruggio has always been willing to wait.

    Remember. How ironic. Of course Qifrey remembers—he's the only one of them who does.

    Summary

    " "Maybe we are getting old," Olruggio continued, barely above a whisper. He put out the joint and sat on the grass, his cloak soaking up the dew. He looked back at the atelier, lost in the soft light that poured out of the kitchen, then he took off his hat, placed it on his lap, and toyed with the golden tassel at the top; the same one he had woken up with all those years ago, carrying, with it, charred strings and split ends. He pinched the bridge of his nose, and Qifrey could swear that, in the dark blur of the night, he saw Olruggio's shoulders quiver."

    Qifrey can't play dollhouse forever.

    Summary

    Olruggio is dying of worry. Qifrey is dying in general. Hey, did you know the shrubs down in the marshwoods make for some great tea?
