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 local celebrity.

Game Night

“It does in Archer.” Harrison reeled his hands. “Most of the town gathers together, and I host a game that’s intended to encourage peace between humans and Amaranthine. Would you come as my guest?”
A red flag was already flying. “Were you hoping to put me on display? I need to be discreet.”
“I see.” Harrison considered him thoughtfully. “You can’t help but stand out, being new and being… well, being you. But can’t you hide in plain sight?”
