Caleb knew he had a tendency to work a little too hard and a little too late when his friends were off on their own pursuits and a certain drow was off doing whatever it was drow wizards on the run did when they had to be on the run. But Caleb needed distraction when someone couldn't provide it and work was that.

Currently he was bent over his newest spell book painstakingly copying a delightful sensation spell he planned to spring on Essek when he returned when he heard footsteps stop outside his office door and a soft tap then hit the door itself. Caleb looked up eyes suddenly blurry as he realized how late it was. His students knew how late he tended to work so it was no surprise that one of them might have come to him when they needed some help.

"Come in," he called out tiredly. "The door is unlocked."

Caleb knew he shouldn't be working late, he is still human and humans need sleep. But his research has consumed him these days and he finds it hard to stop once he gets an idea in his head. He also is deeply hoping a certain friend of his will stop by now that the moon is fully risen. As the current head of the Order he knows he shouldn't be consorting with the supernatural, but Essek is something special. Since the moment they met,. Caleb had felt pulled to the vampire.

He'd tried to fight the pull, but the more time they spent together the pill gets stronger. It is almost like they are two puzzle pieces that fit together without tension. The only argument they have ever had concerns Caleb's age and his graying hair. He has made it perfectly clear that there will be no turning without discussion and even then the wish must be dire for it to happen.

He has seen what happens to men and creatures of ambition that fly too close to the sun. He has no desire to become another one for the history books. He sighs and shuts his journal and feels his back pop and snap as he stretches.

I am not here. Please Leave a message and I will return it when I am able.

Caleb should have known the blood pact was a bad idea. He had been steeped in magic from an early age. He should have also remembered that Jester's "god" was also his godfather, but he'd honestly lost track of Art as his mother had fondly called him after his mental breakdown. Why would anyone from the Feywild care about him after what he'd done.

But Bren now Caleb should have known that his godfather had never stopped keeping an eye one him and deciding that a certain half orc would be the perfect "husband" for his sad and lonely godson regardless of what said godson might have thought about it.

Caleb was currently on deck of the Mistake/Ball Eater trying to clear his head a bit when he hears a smooth deep voice in his ear."Hello godson, I hope you enjoy my gift...I think he's going to make your life interesting...and you certainly need that."

Caleb turned around trying to find the source of the voice but he ends up just looking confused and irritated well more irritated than normal. He mutters something in his native tongue that doesn't sound pleasant and then mutters. "What did you do," without realizing someone might overhear him.

Caleb knew roommates were a necessity when you were a college student on a budget, but he also hated change of any kind. Change ran the risk of causing hurt. But Veth had made it clear that the empty rooms needed to be rented and so new roommates were coming.

Caleb sighed, one of the few sounds he would make around others. He had just started getting used to Yasha and Beau and now two new people were joining the craziness those two brought to the quiet wizard's life. He reached out to pet Frumpkin as he studied taking comfort from his familiar. At least he still had his cat...maybe he could get through this without losing his mind.

But he had no idea how much his new roommates would upend his life.

It hadn't taken Caleb long to figure out who had taken Fjord and where. The Assemby was not known for subtlety. He'd known his past was going to come back and bite him one day just not like this. Fjord was his blood brother and meant more to Caleb then most of the Nein other than Nott. He was willing to face his personal hell to get the half orc back from the Assembly.

Slipping away from the others hadn't been easy, but he wasn't about to hand anyone else over to Trent. He'd cleaned himself up best he could with the time he had and took himself home humbling himself before Trent, Astrid and Wolf in the hopes he will be able to think of a plan to save his friend.

The price to return is heavy though. His former mentor is a paranoid bastard and demands Caleb prove he is back by allowing Trent to experiment on him inserting crystals back into his scars exhausting his magic until the elder mage is satisfied. It takes a week before he is allowed to dress in his robes and is led to the cell where Fjord is being held. He knows what is going to be expected of him and he loathes it. Fjord will suffer from skills Caleb has hidden for years and the wizard has no idea if their friendship or Caleb's sanity will survive this.

Caleb knew he was hard to read, even Nott couldn't figure out what he was thinking sometimes and she was the closest to him among the Nien. Caleb had to play things close to the chest, his past and what he was running from demanded it. But just because he wasn't open with his thoughts and feelings doesn't mean he doesn't have them.

He is currently in his cabin on the Ball Eater thinking about Fjord. Losing power after having it can be difficult and Caleb is worried for his friend. Then an idea occurs to him and after a bit of mental back and forth he gets up and goes looking for the half orc before he talks himself out of his plan.

"Fjord," he calls softly, "I was wondering if we could talk?"
