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 with a wild side.

Sonnet gazed thoughtfully toward the moon, which showed pale in the blue sky. “Something more… rugged…?”
“Rugged,” Jacques echoed, testing the word. “I don’t think I’ve ever attempted rugged.”
