start walking

Well hi. I do actually have costume updates this week. But first let's get everything else out of the way. 4.5 weeks post-surgery -- I feel like 99.9% normal.

So now I've got 4 weeks to finish these capes. Which is do-able but I wanted to get an early start, ah well. Finish is the wrong word for Baylan's cape - correct for my Shin ...
