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 in the dark.

So Jacques distracted himself by relaying several saucy schoolboy anecdotes that were foundational to understanding his ever-expanding packing list for Nonny, who would soon be dorm-bound.
