LMM 89: Creature Comforts

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 with a hideaway.

Jacques breezily summed up. “Adult interests.”

“Too vague.” Argent waved a hand. “You promised a list.”

“I want… an espresso machine and a French chef to make breakfast pastries. Fine cheeses and a cellar filled with star wine. Access to an excellent tailor.” After a moment’s thought, he added, “And a place to hide.”

“Your linen cupboard no longer suffices?”

Jacques hadn’t realized Argent knew. He indicated the queue for Gingko’s piggyback rides. “They’ll follow me.”

“Much as you followed me.”
