The Dormouse, Late morning

The sky is grey and the air is damp; it's going to rain at some point today. Good. It should rain today. The world and the heavens and all the people below it should weep. As much as Lucien would have hated it. Tonight we shall drink, and we shall laugh, and we shall surely weep; and ( Read more... )

Wednesday September 17,  morning
Somewhere between Fiona's home and school

There is a feeling of danger to the air this morning so I am sticking closer than usual to my goddaughter. The town feels a bit too much like the border between the Seelie and Unseelie lands. Those shifting lands where nothing stays the same except for the danger. It is not ( Read more... )

The Dormouse, just after the lunch rush

Rose gurgles and coo's happily in her basket, entertaining herself with my wedding necklace dangling just above her little hands.  The diamonds catch the sunlight, and rainbows dance across the walls everytime it spins.  When that fails to amuse her, there is always her own toes.  Or Flopsy, ( Read more... )

Flowers grew where she walked, so that the fields around the tower that was her home was carpeted in blooms as white as snow. The princess was very ( Read more... )

Saturday afternoon
The scrubby grassland behind the schoolI smile down at Alice as I lead Sparkle from the post office to the field behind the school house. The land here is quite clear and even, and it's a nice enough area that Adonis won't fret about bringing Fiona here ( Read more... )

(The Follow Me Boy)

I sit at a table in the garden, drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes like they will be obsolete tomorrow.  Found one of those 'oh so wonderful' notes at my office, requesting my presence at the 'Boy this morning.  Not that I would not come if Miao requested it, but my attendance was requested ( Read more... )

[Morning, Thursday September 17, Day 109]
[Miao's workroom, Follow Me Boy]My first feeling upon waking is a sort of mild disorientation. This is not my bedroom, and there is someone with me who is not Lucien...but it is nothing more than I have grown used to over the years of serving as an escort. It takes me only moments to reorient myself; I am ( Read more... )
