CaylaCatz

you might be late for a very important date!

Bobbie

ooo, what could it be??? 😀

panos

...well... it's uncomfortable.. but i'll have to admit. It's not as if my Cousin knew i was coming. I was intending to arrive there... surreptitiously... and check things out from afar for a bit, before announcing myself. Checking on that vampire while she's being, you know... herself. Can't understand how my Big Coz has fallen head-over-heels for her. I know vamps have their natural allure but when Ihe talks about her, I swear, I can see little hearts in his eyes, beating, just like in the freaking cartoons!! It's as if he's fifteen again! Jeez!

CaylaCatz

yeah, and she has a bit of a temper... so you might get bit. good news if you have to fight a monster and that's why you're late, anyone who's been in the EZ will understand

CaylaCatz

He's happy. That's a good thing. Maybe you can put in a good word about his intended with his mom ... maybe not mention vampires tho. Moms kinda get upset at the V word

By Belial, first Coyote, now Chesire!! Do I have a freaking magnet for trickster entitiies?!!! (Just when I was going to finally meet my prospective cousin-in-law)

panos

It's only normal. It was foyr months ago and just two introductory pages. Man... so MANY stories to tell!!!

TheBard

Yeah ... I bet, the Cheshire cat will think it's hilarious, when your next teleport ends on Belials toilet 😁

panos

Thank you, ny friend! I have done some images with HL DeCastries. It was time for a crossover!

Super, and did I spot a little Scarlet Pimpernel nod? BTW, Be'Lal was just killed off in WoT 😀
