Reason for stopping: the steam, it is gone from me
Sustenance: coffee and a cinnamon scone and wine, not all at once
Mammalian assistance: Gretchen is in a rawhide coma. Oh, wait. She just rolled off the couch in her sleep.
Tyop: n/a
Darling: Black, which meant he must have come from the Arcanost--sober colors were his only concession to the Silver Court's dour ideas on fashion. Not that combining chartreuse and fuchsia was the worst of his scandals by far. Neither was seducing his apprentices.
He insisted I add that last bit, and now I have to figure out what the scandals are. :P I'm not sure which is worse--that Creepy Uncle Richard O'Brien and his coats are going to run away with this book, or that he apparently takes fashion tips from Felix Harrowgate. And he's slept with one pov character, is uncle to another, and could charm the pants off Isyllt in about five seconds if she wasn't at her quota of romantic entanglements already.
Juryrigging: First drafts are nice because I can write (insert thoughts here) and fill it in when I know what someone is supposed to be thinking about.
Catwaxing: Tonight I drew up a rough city plan, enough to let me know which direction people are going to get to different neighborhoods.
