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 isn’t.

“Since it’s a matter of record, I can say with certainty that I’ve slept with more people than you have. I like sex. You like children. I think we both know which of us is more likely to be called a whore.”

THIS, this, behavior is why everyone adores Uncle Jackie. He has a heart as big as the sky and cares so much and so deeply…as Bob Bon discovered.
