One thing I am obsessed with rn is this moment in ep9 where caleb is getting nott to help him copy his spells into his spellbook, because it really showcases the closeness between them but also how each of them interprets it differently.
caleb is looking at nott like a "little sister", someone who he is teaching and guiding best he can. Trying to make sure she's included in his life in little ways like older siblings do.
nott is looking at caleb like he's her son showing her something he's so proud of and interested in, and being determined to see what it's all about, like parents do.
I just
Love them
A lot

Trust in the Dynasty
Thuron, c2e13: You cannot trust anybody in this city. You cannot trust yourselves. Anyone who has not bound themselves. They are the enemy.
Essek, c2e124: I've never really been trusted and so I did not trust. And I never let anyone close.
c2e131: You see, when you say the word "trust," it's simultaneously like seeing a small hit to the heart... and whatever icy bit that cracked melts away for a minute. There's a moment of him hearing the word and letting it wash over him.
Essek: I'm thankful for the trust you put in me. And I hope to.. make this.. up to you.
Essek, c2e97: And if I don't do it, the first person who does? I don't trust them.
Essek, c2e98: I appreciate the sliver of trust that allowed me to leave. It's not forgotten.
Essek, c2e124: When I- when you gave me trust, it gave me a perspective that was so agonizingly striking. So easy to see.. that I refused to acknowledge it at first, even. I would be lying if I said that our paths crossing hasn't shaken me to the core. And I'm appreciative. I'm thankful for this perspective, but you do not owe me trust for what I've done.
Beau: No, we definitely don't. And we still don't. Really trust you.
Essek: Good. Good.
Essek, c2e132: The more I begin to see Beauregard, yourself return with these markings-- I've only just recently learned to trust. It's hard to begin to mistrust so quickly.
Caleb, c2e98: Make no mistake. We do not trust you.
Essek: Good. That'll help you survive.
Essek, c2e98: I'm thankful that you have a modicum of faith in me, undeserving as that might be.
Essek, c2e124: They have returned to Rosohna to deliver reports. Asking around, they would be somebody I trust, one of the few.
Essek, c2e124: And um.. If you think I'm not worth trusting... Do not. Trust. Anyone of the Assembly, but definitely not.. Ikithon.
Claudia, c2e9: I don't trust anybody. That's how I'm still alive and that's how I came to own this tavern.
Caleb, c2e134: This is Essek.
Charlie: Ess-ek.
Essek: (Essek steps back and goes) I don't trust it.
Essek, c2e91: My interests leave me not trusting anyone, not feeling like I, in some ways, belong. And as such, I spend a lot of my time in solitude.
Caleb: Why trust us with your interests?
Essek: Because I'm thankful to have met you.
Essek, c2e139: If today is to be my final attempt at making good the things I've done, I'd be all right with that. I thank you for your trust.
Essek, c2e132: Drifts into the corner with his fists up, looking over towards you, Caleb, and Caduceus around the corner, and he's like,
Trust! (laughs nervously)
