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 barefoot.

Once the door shut, Josheb ventured, “I thought Ginkgo was Lord Mettlebright’s only son.”
“So inquisitive. And about all the wrong things.”

“And my next question would be…?”
“What’s a fundoshi?”
“I’ll bite. What’s a fundoshi?”
Jacques raised his voice. “Sonnet, be a dear? Help me gird our guest?”
A light rap preceded Sonnet into the room. He was already dressed for the beach.
Josheb gaped. “That’s… a lot of skin.”
