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 isn’t opposed.

Vivid Imagination
“It makes a difference in the accoutrement. I’d thought rugged was required, but before I consult with our tailor, I need to know my part.” Jacques eased more onto his back. “Am I the noble wolf or the moonbeam he seduces?”
“I… umm… oh. Really?”
“I’m not opposed to role play.”
Propping up on an elbow, Sonnet whispered, “I want to be the wolf.”
“Naturellement.”
His voice deepened. “I want to give chase, to pursue.”
“Lord. There goes my heart.”
Sonnet winced. “I’d never hurt you.”
“This isn’t fear, love. I’m only imagining what you’ll do once you catch me.”
