At Thunderly Hill

When he came out on the hillside, the storm had died down and there was a sunset gathering. Luke was crouched just below him looking tired to death, ten times more tired than he had looked after Mr. Wedding caught him. And as soon as he set eyes on him, David discovered that knowing all about someone need not change your feelings at all. Luke might be lord of fire and master of mischief. He might have done a number of appalling things and be going to do more before he was through. But David was simply very glad to see him again, and extremely sorry that he had been so slow fetching the hammer that he had tired Luke out.

Fanart for Diana Wynne Jones's brilliant novel, Eight Days of Luke. It is the February book in my Reading Jones Project and I'll be posting a review of it later this month, and I was tempted to do a fanart. :3 Not going to say anything more about it, because I don't want to spoil the surprise. Go read the book yourself, and it'll all make sense.
