Ramblings of an Old Kweer

This is the fourth of the ten drabble series that I started to write for 's birthday three years ago. Only half completed I recently managed to finish them; out of nowhere it seems to me. I hope to have all ten posted tonight.

Satsu smirked, “My intention exactly.”

Goddess watch over us all,
