LMM 592: Wee Hours

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’s up late.

Wee Hours

Hours later, Jacques was up late, doing a little extra pampering, when someone tapped on his door. Leaning out of his en suite, he checked the clock. One in the morning? He slipped into a dressing gown and softly called, “Yes?”

“Uncle Jackie?”

He opened immediately. “Kyrie? Lord, is anything wrong?”

The boy appeared momentarily befuddled, but he whispered, “May I come in?”

“Why are you all….” Kyrie cautiously finished, “Green…?”
