The meeting room at House Blossom was a beautiful place, with flowers dripping from the walls and the door propped open to let in the spring breeze and wandering sheep. Jimmy returned Katherine's encouraging smile as he entered, glad for the mask that covered all but his mouth and thus kept his nervousness hidden too.
"Hi Jimmy! I'm so glad you could make it." Katherine didn't stand to greet him, busy stroking a lamb that had wandered in to lay its head in her lap, but she gestured to a seat. "Not a lot of us today, but maybe that's better for your first meeting."
Right, she had told him the last time they spoke that alliance meetings weren't mandatory, but rather took place monthly and were open invitation to anyone with free time in their schedule. There were only two others seated at the table today: an elf with snowy white wings and blue hair, and a man who looked almost human but for a sleek tail with a tufted tip.
"This is Pixlriffs, king of Pixandria," said Katherine, and the brown-haired man nodded once in greeting, "and Prince Scott of Rivendell, brother to King Xornoth."
"Er, hi," said Jimmy as he sat, trying not to stare too hard at the elf's beauty. "I'm Jimmy. I've just been assigned to govern the Codlands on behalf of the Codfather. It's, um, part of the Ocean Empire, bordering Myth - "
"Yes, we know where it is," said Scott. "Our empires' memories aren't nearly so short as the human ones." He sipped at his tea. "I believe it was in my grandfather's time that Mythland relinquished that region to the Ocean Empire."
"I don't know if 'relinquished' quite describes it," said Pixlriffs. "Mythland's own history books would say that the Ocean Queen took it by force, after flooding the land as divine retribution for some unrecorded slight."
They both looked at Jimmy as if expecting him to clarify, but he just cleared his throat awkwardly. "Um...right. Anyway, Katherine heard of my appointment, and invited me to join the alliance, so - here I am. Oh, and I'm authorized to speak on behalf of the Ocean Queen, too, for most matters anyway. For now. She's unable to attend meetings in person as often as she'd like, because of...matters."
Scott raised an eyebrow at his vagueness, and he flushed under the haughty gaze. This was turning out to be more difficult than he thought.
He kept quiet for the rest of the brief meeting, deciding it was too early to judge if Rivendell or Pixandria could be potential allies in the codfolk's war against the salmon. Lizzie's network of spies reported that several of the mainland empires had fallen for salmon propaganda, believing the cod to be the aggressors in a war that had been ebbing and flowing since before some of their kingdoms had even existed.
That was why he had left the comfort of the Prisma Palace to live in the swamp, why he hid more than his face behind his carved mask. Enemy armies that had been successfully pushed back were suddenly growing, aided by supplies and weapons that should have been well beyond their means. He needed to find out who was helping them, and figure out a way to put a stop to it. Maybe he could even befriend them and convince them to change sides.
Once official business was concluded, Scott moved closer to Katherine to coo over a second lamb who had wandered in to see what its flockmate was up to and was chewing affectionately on Katherine's dress. Just as Jimmy was trying to decide the least awkward way to excuse himself, Pixlriffs caught his eye from across the table.
Jimmy gave him an awkward half-smile from under the mask, watching warily as Pix approached. He perched himself on the edge of the table right next to Jimmy, eyes gleaming with curiosity.
"Hello," said Jimmy nervously, and Pix's grin widened.
"The more of me you take away, the larger I grow. What am I?"
Shit. Katherine warned him about this, when she was giving him pointers on how to make a good impression on each emperor. Jimmy had never thought himself particularly clever, but as advised, he showed Pix respect by at least considering the question and giving a genuine attempt at an answer instead of brushing it off.
"Er - um...Oh! Hope. It's gotta be hope, hasn't it?"
Pix stared at him, long enough that Jimmy began to wonder if Katherine was wrong about the part where she said the sphinx never actually punished anyone for getting his riddles wrong. Then he grinned with delight, and for a moment Jimmy felt like he was being dazzled by the desert sun itself.
"That's right," he said, and chuckled when Jimmy punched the air with a triumphant yes!
Jimmy stood to make his goodbyes, muttering something about having to make a report of how the first meeting went, and Scott came to stand by Pix's side as they watched him leave. He glanced over at his friend, a knowing smirk playing on the corner of his mouth.
"I thought the answer to that one was 'hole'."
Jimmy was no longer in sight, but Pix continued to stare down the path anyway. "Yes. Well." He smiled at Scott, and there was an eagerness and wonder in his gaze he usually reserved for ancient texts. "He wasn't wrong, though, was he? I do think getting to know him better will be quite an adventure."

has no one told you she's not breathing? - Link on AO3, excerpt below
Katherine presses a finger to her lips as she stares at Jimmy in the gloom, as they hear bootsteps thunder overhead, heavy and angry. Voices are raised, yelling where are they? And they’ve taken the chips! And Katherine quickly hands Jimmy one of the water chips and wraps the other up in a hankie and promptly shoves it down her cleavage before pulling her neckerchief back in place.
Jimmy shoves it in her glove and tries not to breathe too much.
Katherine holds her hand. The grip tightens as the footfalls stop, then move to basically overhead, and Jimmy squeezes Katherine’s hand so fucking tight as –
The floorboards overhead lift. Jimmy throws herself over Katherine. It doesn’t last long before someone lifts Jimmy by the scruff of her coat and hoists her up into the air, feet leaving the ground clean, and she kicks and screams.
