LMM 428: Dojo

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 envious ones.

“They think you’re my favorite.”

“Don’t drag me into your sibling rivalries.”

“They don’t think of you as a brother.”

“Uncle?”

Deece winced. “Pet.”
