“I didn’t ask you here to to mock me.”

“No, you tried to lure me into helping you without giving me a damn choice in the matter, and also I’m the one who asked *you* here because I was still willing to hear you out after that. So deal plainly, or don’t deal at all. Your choice.”

“Alright.” She leant forward, resting her chin on her folded hands. “But not here.”

“What?”

“You were right to suggest we meet here, but it’s still not private enough for what I want to talk to you about. So… when you duel Adam-“

“You know about that?”

“We do still *talk* to each other, you know. I know he plans to send the formal challenge today, for the end of the week. I also know the location, and the fact it’s to first blood. So when you fight, I want you to lose.”

“Fuck off,” Mortimer spat, before he could stop himself. “If you think for one damn moment I’m going to-” *And that’s Lucy Foreval you’re mouthing off to and you need to shut up. Now.*

*No. Head up, shoulders back, and face the world. And, once she shows up again, your sister-in-law in everything but name, who’s almost certainly going to tear another pile of strips off you for what you did, and you’ll deserve every damn one of them.* 

He couldn’t even pretend she didn’t have a point, not really. Amelia was brave, and clever, and a damn sight more able to look out for herself than her parents and even her sister realised, but she was also headstrong, impulsive, and about as inconspicuous as a diamond in a coalshed – all of which meant that any attempt to have her infiltrate the Sinnlenst, even under a cover story that she’d been unsettlingly quick to come up with, was likely doomed to failure from the very start. 

And yet, for all that, there was still a part of him that’d wanted to believe it was workable. 

*Because then she’d not be worrying herself to death about me and I’d not be worrying myself to death about her, and whatever happened, we’d be facing it together, and if someone tried to kidnap her I’d at the very least be able to throw myself in the way, even if I couldn’t get a blade between her and the bastard.* 

And that right there was the bruised and bleeding heart of the whole godsdamn thing, wasn’t it? Because he’d not been able to do a damn thing when Avebury and his minions had kidnapped his Da and if the same thing happened to the woman he loved and he wasn’t there to stop it, he was fairly bloody certain what little hold he still had on his sanity would snap like an overtaxed girth.

A pencil drawing of a plump, feminine-presenting, gaslamp-fantasy styled figure with gnome proportions leaning over patch of earth, rocks visible within it and leading down to large chunks of coal dramatically placed at the bottom of the image, inked as well as darkly shaded in. The figure’s expression, cut off so we only see their nose and mouth as they bend forward, is one of curiosity and mild awe.

“Hey, you two. Rise and shine, will you?”

Nothing. 

“Hey,” she said again, louder. “Up. Ideally, now.”

Amelia made a small irritated noise and curled in closer against Mortimer’s side, burying her face against his ribs. Mortimer, for his part, stirred, muttered something incomprehensible, and then said, with perfect clarity, “Fuck off.”

*…Probably should have expected that, shouldn’t I?*

“Look. Unless you get yourself out of that bed and dressed in the next five minutes, we’re going to have a problem.”

“Going to have a problem yourself if you don’t bloody well leave me to-” he began, and then stopped short, blinking in apparent confusion. “Wait. Where-?”

“The Luciel townhouse, and my baby sister’s bedroom. Which, incidentally, is why I need you up and dressed and *out* before my lady or my lord comes knocking to ask why their darling daughter isn’t down at breakfast yet.”

“…Oh gods.”

“Exactly.”

A green-tinted pencil and ink drawing of three faeries – a gnome-sized Krampus-like faun and two gaslamp-fantasy styled gnomes, one plump and feminine-presenting, one thin and masculine-presenting – standing a a line, the feminine gnome handing a gift to the faun, while the masculine gnome hands a gift to someone off-page, indicated by their hands reaching toward it. They are all loosely bound together by a long scarf that goes off the page in both directions, indicating connection to other folk as well. At about or just the same height level as the figures, several stars float against a dark sky to frame the scene, and the ground appears to be covered in snow. While the faun looks blushingly surprised, both gnomes express smiling happiness.

A pencil drawing, digitally tinted purple, of a feminine-presenting, plump, gaslamp-fantasy styled gnome in finery including a crown at the base of her pointed Gnomish cap, standing amongst a swirl of fog or clouds and reaching one hand up to touch her crown, her expression painfully concerned and tilted skyward. In her other hand, she carefully holds another pointed cap with an even more impressive crown, the style of both leaning more toward foreboding than reassuring.
