Barnabas smiled. "That's erm, that's... Well. You don't see one of those every day. How do you, er, keep it on?"

"It's got some buttons that attach to my coat." He pulled at the woollen tail guard covering his tail.

"Well. It'll certainly keep it warm." Smiled Tellerick.

    I like the subtle humor you're adding to these. It really helps ground it in reality, as opposed to just complete fantasy.

    Many thanks both. I didn't think that I was being that subtle with the humour though 😊

    I like the humour too. And on a subtle level, it’s amusing that on such a dangerous mission Skaran should worry about what he looked like and would risks humiliation to heed and obey his good ole mum!
