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 touchy one.

Ahhhh… I thought Nonny was the outdoorsy type too. How wrong I was, though I think for his hero Jacques (even though Nonny wouldn’t admit he IS his hero) Nonny would learn anything!
