Summary
There were many meaningless and polite things Piers could say. It wouldn’t be hard at all. They clattered about his head. Speaking any of them aloud would be an act of self-preservation. There was danger in desiring the good opinion of the king’s heir. But here Edward was, offering kindness as generously as he gifted money to people. And it truly was so, so hard to resist.

Summary
Dearest, darling Edward,
You know what else you see on the grass in the early morning hours? You see snails. And yet there are a shocking lack of them in the marginalia of this book. You have drawn none. The scribes have drawn none. It’s truly a sin.
[Or; Teenaged Piers and Edward basically pass notes to each other through the marginalia in Edward's book of hours.]

Summary
She’s sitting by a window, as motionless as Alexander’s mummy. Antony had wanted to mock it when he saw it on display in the city that bore its name, but then he’d been strangely moved by how even his eyelashes remained preserved.
Cleopatra must have heard the news, of course. The whole damn villa has heard. She’s a foreign woman in a city that bears no love for her. She’s a foreign queen in a city that has no love for monarchs. And Antony finds himself wishing she would sob or rage in front of him. It would be uncanny, almost like seeing his own soul finding expression through someone else’s body. Still, it would be less eerie than this; a young woman staring straight at him, her dark eyes almost never blinking.
[Or; Antony helps Cleopatra escape Rome after Caesar's murder]
