In the midst of our annual two week vacation, I was approached by a friend who requested a commission for a cap of maintenance for an undisclosed
anticipated member of the Order of the Pelican. The requestor did not provide much information beyond the sizing, but one word in their description of size led me to believe I knew who the recipient might be... which added a large amount of danger to the request as they were camping nearby! In true scribal fashion, I spent a few days deep diving their Facebook account to see their likes or dislikes, then snuck in two small feline easter eggs.
