Summary:
Paul has lived on Caladan his entire life, damp wind on the back of his neck and the rumble of far-off storms marking his days, but as he ages, a feeling settles over him. A miasma in his lungs, an aura in his periphery, a wave cresting over him. He feels it most when he straightens after a spar with Duncan, or the scant times he's been permitted to sit with the soldiers in their quarters and listen to their stories. It collects in the joins of his elbows, the creases of his thighs, behind his knees and ears. Sticky like sweat.
Paul and Duncan, from the first to the last.
