LMM 174: Eye Test

Claimer: I do hereby claim all rights and responsibility for the characters in this series of vignettes because the Amaranthine Saga is mine.

Jacques was honestly more interested in having his hand held. “Oui?”

Argent huffed. “We know you can see me.”

Another sweep of skin across skin. Argent blandly inquired, “Are you even trying?”

Jacques was tempted to feign blindness, but any thought of ploys vanished when he glimpsed a fantastical lizard, seemingly armored in mother-of-pearl.
