There are some people who might have taken this week as an opportunity to reflect that to sink into the sort of despondency Puck did at Havelock's absence might be a sign that he's getting ever so slightly over-attached.

They might additionally ponder what Puck will do when Havelock has to leave again, for longer, and eventually, possibly forever. They might come to doubt the prudence of becoming so entangled with a mortal altogether.



But the fae are not creatures renowned for their foresight, and Puck is surely no exception.

He is preoccupied instead with Havelock's arm about his waist, and his mouth against his; being held, so close.

He finds there is not much room to think on anything else.
