Word of the Day 100 Challenge: Lucubration


Bestowal

by Red Wolf

Drusilla was deep in lucubration when Spike and Wolf returned, cards laid out before her in the candlelight. Wolf gave the woman her present and watched as Drusilla's eyes widened in delight as she spilled the bones across the table.

"I'd like to engrave runes on them for you, but I'll need you to tell me which symbols go on what bones, love."

"His fingers and toes have such a lovely tale to tell. They say that my Puppy has been good and will get her rewards."

Spike rubbed his hands together. "Right, get your kit off then."

"Sweet talker."
