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 who’s enjoying himself.

Lapis hummed. “Not at this juncture.”
A blue-tipped claw drew across the sigil, which sparkled, lifted, and spun away with a twinkling like chimes.
Jacques reached for it and whispered, “Can we do another?”
