Bounder, hailing from my parents’ corner of the world, stopped by en route to some new adventure. A lizard of few words, he did not stay long when he discovered the only spirits in my place were for cooking and not of a proof to quench his thirsts. He reported that others from the posse might check in to make sure I am okay, including the elusive Lacy… I will keep you all posted if he is seen in my neighborhood.

Until then, please enjoy the spider design.
