Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained
Dorian: *eases over towards Beau and loosens his sash to show off his abs*
Imogen: You don't have to move the shirt. You're wearing a sheer shirt. We can see them all the time.
Dorian:
Like damn Imogen why you gotta call him out like that in front of his crush 😭😂

Beau!
Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Bonus:
I'm both amused and emotional about the idea of Beau turning to Essek one day and just saying, 'hey man, do you wanna be part of the Cobalt Soul?' And Essek asks, does she mean that one of his fake personas can pretend to be a Cobalt Soul member, and Beau says no. Come and actually join the Cobalt Soul. Under a fake name and face, obviously, but he'll be a real, official member.
'I mean, come on, man. You're already helping us take down Ludinus, you're doing a whole bunch of Aeor research. Why not just make it easier and... officially join? You've got the whole boner-for-knowledge thing down. And I'm an Expositor. If I want to show up and say 'here's my friend, Definitely-Not-Essek, just make him an archivist', they'll probably roll with it.'
'You don't think any of your superiors - the elite group of spies and investigators - might see through that? Or that it might risk the attention of those hunting me falling upon your order?'
And Beau shrugging and saying, 'If they do, I'll deal with it.' A quiet, deadly promise.
Idk, maybe 'Seth' was just a random identity made up on the fly, but I really like the idea that he might actually be Cobalt Soul. Just... something about Essek, who lived a century in isolation, getting to be part of something. Never being starved for intellectual peers again. Being around people who believe that knowledge is meant to be celebrated and shared.
And Beau knowing that the Cobalt Soul is about standing against corruption. About exposing lies. Finding the truth. And trusting completely that Essek, her friend, believes in those things too.
So if Caleb and Beau know Ryn and Ryn has been acquainted with Yussa.. here's how Yussa can get involved...
