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 always a challenge.

Perfect Aim
Jacques warned, “It’s not much of a grooming session without cats.”
“You only wash if there’s felines hanging about?”
“You’re missing the midnight feast to welcome Sonnet.”
“You trying to get out of this?”
“I’m giving you an out.”
Nonny’s eyes narrowed. “You want me out?”
Jacques wearily pointed to the filled tub. “In.”
His apprentice obeyed.
“Hey, nonny, nonny, wouldn’t you rather have Ginkgo or Randolla or Tsumiko for a mentor?”
“I don’t aim to be a gardener or a tailor or a… a lady.”
“What do you want to be?”
“Cripes, you’re thick. I want to be yours.”

Has anyone ever openly stated they wanted to Jacques? Has Jacques ever been first in anyone’s family or relationships? This is huge! Good for our man Jacques!

I guess everyone can be a bit dim at times, even our very perceptive Jacques. Nice chapter.
