do anyone think Keith ever got over living alone in the desert. Does he look at an alien dune, the angle of their star and think that it will be noon soon? That he should get out of the sun not to overheat?? Does he think that the shadows are getting longer now, he should head back not to get lost. He'd used the only batteries he had left, the flashlight won't work. Does he look at the emptying pantry of the Castle's kitchens and think he should head to the town soon? Do some odd job, get more preserves, does he find the thick layers of dust in his room once he returns from the Blades, does it make him think of home? (Does the ringing emptiness remind him not to get too comfortable with people?)

I know we're several episodes past, but my mind keeps circling back to that cold open scene in the Falconer's Rebellion. All those mercenaries and rebels ducking into the trench, carrying other adults out of danger. Even the older adolescent on the scene, Tunk, had Loza Blade at his back, shouldering him to cover.

The only one left behind is Azune, fifteen years old, a twig of a boy not even finished growing. A boy who was already left to claw his way back from the edge of death by himself as Teor scrambled to patch Kattigan back together. And when Azune wakes, what does he get to see?

All of his comrades--the men and women his own father peddled him to--have retreated. Nobody stopped for him. He's bleeding into the dirt alone.

And a flock of wyverns is descending on the battlefield.

I really hope we return to this flashback and learn how it was that Azune lived. Who or what saved him. Because right now it's left in a limbo of unknowns--apart from the line Azune/Luis lets slip at Falcon's Rest.

"I want to remember everything about them, the good, the bad, the ugly, the injuries that they've caused, inadvertently. I want to remember the entire story of who they are. I speak their names, those five that just left, over and over again in a whisper to myself. I wonder if they, if they'll forget me while they're gone."

The fact that Paul posted a video of him just casually enjoying a local river, sitting underneath an overpass that so many people are driving along with no idea, that just below them, is Sir Paul McCartney. Makes my heart so freaking happy. That he is still the same, humble, authentic little fella he always was. It's just wonderful.

Now I want a Mean Girls AU, but it's just Hua Cheng shouting 'You can't sit with us!' at Jun Wu whilst Jun Wu shouts 'He doesn't even go here!' to Xie Lian.

Shi Qingxuan also gets 4 candy canes. Probably from Ming Yi.
