Thank you kindly. I’m hoping to add to it as, y’know, as inspiration comes.

Oh lord, just stumbled over this part.
Why Webster hasn’t picked you up is a wonder. Also, as an old healer (priest, – though dwarf), I know all about hemo, hego, pissyfit and standing in the back with my sissy robe. I just never had the vocabulary of putting it into words, thank you 🙂
