Lorel with spider

[lady-noremon.livejournal.com]

"Darling and lethal as vampire-kitten. Use a long-handled comb."

This was quickly drawn for Alexis Kennedy as an attempt at a thank-you. He sent me a
Luxuriantly Coiffed Sorrow-Spider after I e-mailed about my fuck-up of not knowing the Rose-bearing Maggot was only worth 3 Masquing and only if under 25 Masquing total. So thus after over a week of grinding for Gifts of Scorn, purchasing a bunch of Nex on Robin's account, and trying for over a day to draw the Lilac card again, I was 3 Masquing short of the Companion I wanted--Lettice, the Mercy (I got the Canny Costermonger earlier in the week as I was reminded of Lorrie). I had the choice of giving-up, or trading-in the Promissory Note for Intimate Favours I also bought, or waiting to see if Lettice became available another way. Given how horrible this month, and especially this week has been, I had taken the give-up option.

I expected no response to my e-mail, and felt silly for having sent one. But at 9:15PM AST I got:






And I blabbered-out:

"I cannot express how shocked & grateful I am! I wasn't expecting any
response, and felt so silly sending a panicked e-mail. But this is a
wonderful, and generous, and so many other descriptors I can't type
action! I felt bad trading in the extravagantly cylindrical filamented
beast, but it had its purpose. And again thank-you for making a
terrible week end in brightness. I wish I had ways of returning the
favour! But here is a quick picture of my detective holding the creature.

Thank-you, and thank-you, and thank-you,

---Sarah"

And drew this. I also plan on donating £5 to his Samaritans marathon sponsership too, after I get back from my excursion on Monday; since Samaritans is a very great cause.

Also another thank-you to Gabriel & Jamie for last-minutely sending me the 2 Masquing items I wanted but the Robin's account does not have the Connected for. Mr. Morgan sent me the Glass of Teeth, & Imeja sent me a Key-to-Heart Dagger.
