Last Six Eight Lines

I've been seeing some open tags running around for this, and wanted to share some from the next chapter of By Any Other Name since I didn't do WIP Wednesday yesterday. Technically they're not my last lines written, but I want to keep the other projects under wraps for now:

“Dae, my darling, did you hear a single thing I just said?” Daeran had not, but he still looked up at his mother with an uncharacteristically genial smile. “Of course! You were just regaling me with the provincial details of this years’ Autumnal Equinox festival. I’m sure the rabble will enjoy it all very much.” Silaena sighed, giving her son a reproachful look without much heat and a not-insignificant amount of fondness behind it. “This is important, Daeran. One day the responsibility of planning such an event will fall upon your shoulders, and I assure you that it’s not a task you want to delegate to someone else. Besides, for all your bluster, I know you enjoy the festivities.”
