aldersprigTo Eseme's Request. After all of the Tattercoats stuff.
☔
As the rain was coming down in torrents most often reserved for biblical events, Autumn had decided on staying in for a night, not in a motel — the town wasn’t big enough or on a major enough route for that — but in a bed-and-breakfast that didn’t seem too full of itself. She was sitting in its common room — which still looked much like a family living room of 100 years ago — drawing a fantasy scene of the same room when the door swung open.
He looked drenched, drowned-rat incarnate, his jeans holding out from his legs like they were their own creatures. He walked like his feet had moved past sore and on to misery a few hours ago.
And he looked familiar. “Edmonton!” She wrinkled her brow. “Wait, not just Edmonton, either.”

I think Autumn probably has a larger web of friends and people who care than she might think - people from different Ren Faires and galleries and festivals. There are people who care about her for her, and with Tattercoats gone they will step forward.
And new people like Calvin. It is good to see. Smiles. Thanks.

Date: 2017-11-03 03:32 pm (UTC)Yeah, I can see how Strand Workers can forget to Work on themselves. I think maybe they need regular checkups, in a mystical sense?

→ get here
> Now, that could be a question we readers could wonder about if things go that way. ;-)
