Akibel Mowar is on his way home from the blacksmith's when he spots it. People are shrieking and fleeing from it, which seems reasonable, as it's a fuckoff huge snake with a mirror for a face. A big mirror.
Kib can't so much flee. He can shriek - he can lurch in the direction of the nearest house and try the door - it's locked. He can amble briskly...
He can break into a run when the snake gains on him and fall flat on his face.
And he can get eaten up.
And it's too bright too bright too bright and he flings his arm over his eyes.

I mean, Maitimo says, my boyfriend literally overnight falling deeply in love with a stranger is not pleasant. But. If it were Findekáno, I would want whoever he was with to help him find me. This is - not your fault.
And again privately aaaaargh.

Sigh. It is also completely unfair to ask either of you to come with me to go looking for him -
You really shouldn't go alone, Maitimo says after a second. If something has happened to him, or if he's just straight like I assume most people in your world in fact are, you are going to be - someone should be there.
We're going to have a few dozen people starting to live in your world, several of them with roles that involve exploring it. We could easily be among them.
He is marginally cheering up at having a logistics problem.

And then we leave Kib to true love, Maitimo mutters.
Like you said. If it were me.
If it were you - even if you were a girl I think I'd -
Yeah.
The end of the week would make it easiest to all go without attracting attention, and let me clear my schedule, Maitimo says. And we'd mostly be gone during the festival of the gates and not miss much.

I know a few more days on top of eighteen years and change isn't much of a difference but from how he acted when I was dying I am astonished to have to conclude that he's been eating, let alone churning out storks -
So he does. He only occasionally grouses to Findekáno about how he did not even have enough reasons in his list of reasons this was a terrible idea and there's clearly a lesson there.
