LMM 165: Dipping and Dangling

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 in truest form.

“I was right.”

“About?”

Jacques pointed down. “Him.”
