[With every clash of perspectives and opinions, Isaac knows less and less of what understanding they do share beyond the burdens and possibilities of this cursed magic others have dreamt of wielding. And he doubts that what they have is truly enough to satisfy a man who once took another's hand in marriage. Hector had had a place in the world and in someone's heart, once; he could do better than this, holing up in a ruined castle watching life pass him by. But Hector made this choice of his own will, fought him on it. And he'd have to make his peace with it, fully, if he hadn't already.]
