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 candid one.

“It is. For now. If my man has his way, you will see me again. In the meantime….”

“Carry on, but do not forget. You need to locate that Woodacre for me.”
