Jester follows Caleb in, dutifully, loyally, ready to fight on his behalf, of course. Of course. And Fjord balks, a little, everyone hesitates, for a moment. But she was always going to go in. She was always going to go in. How could they let Caleb go in there alone, facing Trent, facing his undead parents? Facing his worst fear, his worst guilts, his worst enemies. She follows him in.
How could they let Caleb go in there alone? With just his parents, with Trent. With just his parents, almost the same but not quite, speaking and moving, with Trent and his poison honeyed words. Facing his worst guilt, and a twisted form of forgiveness, and something he has been aching for but cannot have. She follows him in, because she loves him, because she wants to protect him, because shes sorry he has to face this. Because she. Is sorry.
She follows him in, because Jester is always willing to do what is needed to protect the people that are hers. Jester is always willing to do what she has to do to protect her people, whatever that looks like.
Jester follows him in, and looks at him and says- I'm so sorry. And casts Turn Undead.

“I am not comfortable with that idea, knowing how that feels.”

caleb falling silent when opening the room numer one on the eighth floor and caduceus recognizing the look on his face right away — it's home, isn't it?
caleb describing the room number four: the messed up sheets, the books on illusion, the frozen moment in time of his life in an academy and beau putting two and two together — it was hers.
fjord catching caleb's mention of stairs leading up and having a feeling that it was caleb's childhood space and asking to see it, and then smiling brightly when caleb jumps on this particular step that creaks
these are things that they know about caleb and that means that they care. and maybe they do not understand his way of dealing with his memories — caleb knows he's safe, he's loved and he's accepted. he knows it good enough to share what he knows is hard to understand and explain but he trusts them nonetheless.

A few unholy head canons abt everyones fav depressed wizards:
1. Caleb Widowgast is deeply attracted to Essek’s long hair… for all the reasons you think.
2. Essek Thyless loves it when his man calls him pretty so he does his face even if he will be in disguise all day.
3. Beauregard has without a doubt walked in on Essek and Caleb in some very nsfw moments simply bc she has a key to Caleb’s home. It is more embarrassing for Essek than either of The Empire Siblings
4. Essek learns Zemnian, at first it is to fit in at the archives. Then he realizes just how much Caleb enjoys it.
5. Essek’s favorite part of his day is to drop his disguise after getting off work (the wizard equivalent of a bra)
6. Caleb helped Essek develop Seth.
