i did it.& broached the topic of Qifrey & Easthies' relationship with each other, Easthies' FUTURE, and when i asked about how Olly, Qifrey, & Easthies were children together back in the Great Hall, she told me she is going to be 'drawing a couple of those scenes' so please look forward to it AAAH

Qifrey has fought tooth & nail to be gentle, despite.
(only in 94 does he finally recognize/accept he *is* giving others the warmth & care Olly gave him) but that traumatized, desperate child who lashes out is always near. we only need to look at his interactions with Beldaruit:

witch society watching qifrey So elegant, So poised, So beautiful by measure of everyone from Nolnoa to Sasaran (the consensus couldn't be more solid), yet refusing all but 2 close adult relationships (Alaira & Olly): toothsome. delectable.

#whaspoilers last!
Qifrey: ... as ever, your lies are kind.
(context: Olly lied about his deadline being further off than it actually is, so that he could treat the girls to an elaborate meal out)
Olly & his little white lies. but also. this is a weirdly sexy notion. Olly the liar. (the rammies...)

#whaspoilers 3/4 WHA Kitchen 🥰... feat. BRUSHBUG'S HORROR AT THE SIMULACRUM
Agott, reassuring Olly that his quick 'i'm on a deadline' meal for the girls (in Qifrey's absence 👀!!) is perfectly good:
'this meal is not lazy cooking.'

Agott on Qifrey's typical(!) meals:
Olly: It's just an egg & bacon fryup?
A: That's a fine dish too. Qifrey sensei's cooking has messed with our standards! Dishes catered to our personal tastes & nutrition, imaginative efforts that stun us day after day... but +
