LMM 160: Idle Hands

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 time on his hands.

“Moi? How?”

“He is a dragon,” Argent drawled, as if that made everything clear.

Ah, perhaps it did.

“Admire him. Accommodate his every whim.” Based on his scanty experience with dragons, Jacques ventured, “Supply him with paperback romances?”

Argent turned before the mirror, a pained expression on his face. “Sinder is a very modern dragon. The wifi password should suffice.”
