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 likes hearing his name.

“Too right you are! I got a good place here. And a position.”

Jacques calmly moved his hands to cover his assets.
“Are you really that daft?”
