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 keeps trying.

Jacques stood silent.
“I value privacy, and I will respect yours if you insist. However, entanglements can affect an entire household.”
“I was… approached. Engaged, really. I’ll be performing a service of sorts. Lord, that makes me sound like a rent boy.”
Argent growled.
“Oh, do calm down.” And Jacques wearily spilled out everything.

“You were first.”
“Tsk. You deserve more than I can provide.”
“I haven’t forgotten.”
“…Inti has designed a sigil for your next tattoo. Perhaps this time….”
Jacques stood silent.
