Hii Sorry the page is a day late!! I got swept off to the Newport Mansions for my birthday on Tuesday, which BTW, oh my gosh I took a ton of reference photos for the palace! I don't know how much I can use because everywhere you look its just so much detail, way more than I could ever draw, but it was very inspiring. :) But yeah, obviously I still don't have a buffer ...I'm trying! I've been doing a lot of map work and thumbnails though so I haven't had time, I am working on it though.

Casey crawls out from under the table as the sound of people fades, as he creeps down the hallway he stops to stare at a painting, its of the main royal family, all relaxing and showing off their hobbies: Sonel is on horseback, Aria is reading a book, Forest is playing a glass harmonica, Jaren is playing a cello, Leal is playing the violin, the king is petting his dog, and the queen is playing chess. In the portrait Leal's hair is long, like the rest of his family, and he has his royal necklace. Casey looks sadly at how happy Leal and the queen look, the queen has a kind and gentle smile. While he is distracted Jaren comes down the corridor and surprises him by grabbing his shoulders and shouting "Casey!" Mouse is scared by this and hides in Casey's hair.
