A Cute Calley by @wolf (Courtney Davidson)

An "illustration" type thing from Nuarth, Ground Zero. More just a pic of a cute Calley... I'll include a bit of text just 'cuz... the story is starting to take shape on the RC board.

Makzin raised an eyebrow as he pulled off on boot. "Um, no..."

She huffed a bit, but was too calm for Makzin's liking. Shuffling over across the wood floor, she leaned over him. "Today was the last class... they gave us tomorrow to get ready, but I'm packed and stuff... oops, sorry--"
