LMM 30: Sprout

Claimer: I do hereby claim all rights and responsibility for the characters in this series of vignettes because the Amaranthine Saga is mine. (Which means I should probably behave myself since anything I say or do could be taken as canon.)  Indulge the lot of us, especially the one whose caste is celibate.

Argent guided his hand to a spot hidden by Kyrie’s downy fringe. “Horns.”
