caper_est | Into Something Rich & Strange

Killer-Kate and Luke Lackland: Two or three hundred words of the new chapter, which I had to run away before I could count them. There are no flowers in this northern winter. D'oh!

Kate tries to keep alive a beloved memory that wants to sublime out of everyone's world. The Dubious Miracle turns out to have had unexpected consequences for both sides back in the equally Dubious Woods, and one of my favourite minor characters has turned this to good account offstage. But this must complicate negotiations with the Duke still further.

The Low Road beckons.
