Puck : Jester of Xylia (Patreon)

"Puck... will you help us?"Puck tucks his legs up against his chest.  "Maybe. What's in it for me?"  "Something reckless." L says, wings rustling. "But you have to say yes first.""How reckless."L leans closer. "Deeply stupid."Puck's eyes glitter. L can’t stop herself from smirking. "Think of the most dangerous thing you can." Puck draws in closer. L flaps her wings once. "Worse.""YOU MUST!"  Puck springs on L, grabbing her shoulders and digging in with his hooves like he’s trying to climb her. She staggers backward, catching herself on the table as she tries to regain balance. The satyr’s all knees and elbows and madly eager eyes.  "You must let me help you!”“A - Astraea - “ L wheezes.“Say yes or I’ll take your eyes!"Astraea grips Puck around his sides and gives him a squeeze. He lets out an indignant squeak and goes limp. She gives L a smug smile, setting him back down on the floor."Alright." Puck cackles, doing a frantic little dance. "So who are we going after? Helios? It's Helios, right? It's gotta be Helios."+++Excerpt from Imago Ch20: Thieves in the LibraryAn androgynous king and professional troublemaker. Happy to design one of my (easily) most favorite characters to write.
