So, usual comment from me: now that I've finished the Kraulik story arc (for the moment) are there any characters of mine you'd like to see a little more of next? Or shall we just see where the muse points me? I will, I think, have a week of more random stuff (and maybe poetry) before starting off a new arc, so you have time to think about it :) (unless whoever is addressed by today's prompt... it makes me think of vampires, so I'm guessing this is somehow Hallowe'en related?)

Decisions at daybreak
"Tea or coffee?"
Jamira rubbed her aching head with one hand and waved the other at Guillame as though trying to shoot away a goose. "It's dawn," she said, her voice giving away her tiredness, "and you want me to take an important decision like that now?"
"You heard the djinn," said Guillame, gently nudging her with the bag of ground coffee and setting the tea behind him, out of sight, "the decisions we make at daybreak will be binding for the rest of our lives."

Greg - nothing comes immediately to mind, but I will give it some thought. Unless you've already found something in the mean time and I'm off the hook :)

Well, I think coffee over tea is a solid start. I'm curious to see what else these two decide though!
