Oh my word that goofy little bat head. It looks so surprised.
I do believe that I will no longer be able to imagine the Brass Ambassador in anything other than that flashy devil costume.
Finally, the Vake revealed!
It’s a fancy Vake. Also explained why it is not skinnable.
Also, I would wear that bat dress, if I can have it. It’s gorgeous.
It’s amusing, those occasions when you find proof that your ancestors were even more silly than your fiction makes them out to be.
