Janet's been doing a lot of research. No, seriously -- a lot. She's a good magician, but she's not the best magician she knows. She was a good student at Brakebills, but she wasn't the best student at Brakebills. She was a stellar queen, but a lot of that was bluffing and expecting other people to follow her orders. She's certainly never been a fucking tattoo artist before.

What she's come up with is an abomination that would make half her professors faint dead away. She's cobbled together a modified Cavaleri Animation, about two and three-quarters of the principles that go into making a Reed's Mark, and a whole lot of bullshit that she sincerely hopes is going to hang together.

With a significantly bizarre assortment of items assembled in a tote bag, she goes on the hunt for Galahad, hoping he's somewhere that Claudius isn't.

Luckily for Janet, Galahad is in the kitchen, and he's just put his dough aside to proof, covering it with a damp tea towel; he's washing dishes at the sink. The weather is still too cold for him, in spite of how bright and clear the day as been, and he's wearing a sweater with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows as he works.

He stops, dries his hands, turns, and then says, "Good afternoon, your majesty."

"Does that mean everything is ready?"

"Please tell me what to do," he says, as he takes off his apron.

"I have eaten and drunk." None of it alcohol.

"On the floor, or on a bed or couch?"

Galahad gives her a long, probably mildly unsettling look, and heads off for a parlor. When they arrive he takes off his sweater and lies down on his stomach on the couch. The scratches Dro gave him are almost healed, but there are still long silvery scars on his pale skin.

"Drosera climbed on my back," he says, as he folds his sweater. "Claudius says she has bad claw manners."

"Magnus's and mine," he agrees.

"She looks better now. She has all her flight feathers." He's perfectly still while she sets up.

"I don't know. She's with Magnus most of the time." And he and Magnus haven't been spending much time together lately. When Galahad thinks about that he feels a sort of queasy feeling in his stomach.

"No, thank you," Galahad says politely.

"I have been hurt before." He flutters the fingers of his burned hand against the couch.
