tilly 3685 Share Posted July 9, 2023 "Real." Renilde bobbed her head after a nice long discussion with a genderless person and their child, as well as a surprise-visit from the King of Norland and his diplomat who'd worked tirelessly with the Archduchess to create the perfect document. "These folks are swell." 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
