LMM 196: The Most Important Thing

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 often confused by instincts.

“And Ever?”

“Oui. I need lessons in Ever, too.”

“One thing,” Jacques urged. “Tell me one true thing.”

Soft as a sigh, Kyrie answered, “Love you, Uncle Jackie.”
