    Summary

    Maybe he thinks that you only enjoy his company because of the Work, because of the way his dazzling intellect shines when he's in his element, but the truth is this: it is when he is at his most human, most bare, that you feel closest to him.

    Summary

    To save his life, Qifrey the Witch had to do two things: lose his eyesight, and make everyone forget all about—well, Qifrey the Witch.

    Twenty years later, he has settled into a half-life at the margins of the world; mending pots, listening to rain, troubling no one and troubled by no one in return. When he goes to a spring festival, three not-quite-strangers happen upon his bench.

    ☆ Or: decades after he made the world forget him, Qifrey meets Coco, Agott, and Olruggio for the second first time.

    Summary

    Olruggio has always been kind.

    He is intelligent. Perceptive. Infuriatingly good at dancing.

    Beautiful, charismatic, endlessly patient.

    Olruggio is perfect.

    Unfortunately, Qifrey is not the only one who has noticed.

    ________________________

    Or when Qifrey had long accepted one simple truth: Olruggio was dangerously easy to love.
    Which would have been manageable… if everyone else in the world had not apparently come to the exact same conclusion.

    Summary

    The only way to see someone's true nature is to see how they act when they don't know they're being watched. The girls catch moments between Qifrey and Olruggio that help them decide on their future as apprentices.

    OR: Before they're official apprentices of Qifrey's atelier, the girls accidentally (on purpose) stumble upon Qifrey and Olruggio when the two men think they're alone. It tells the girls everything they need to know about the kind of witches (and people) they are.
