When True Night Falls
“The other humans were only so much flotsam to her—she would leave them waiting for hours without a second thought—but this Regent was a special case. She had carefully nurtured their relationship down through the years, and now she had no doubt that if a puddle suddenly appeared in front of her, he would throw himself down bodily in the mud and the water so that, by treading on his back, she might keep her silk shoes dry. She even felt a vaguely maternal protectiveness toward him sometimes, lik...e one might feel for a starving kitten, a puppy lost in the rain ... or a pet. Yes, that’s what Kinsei Donnel was. A pet.
