Lil' Bleater Goat Thoughts

thank you for supporting lil' bleater financially and emotionally

Geralt has Roach, Eskel has Lil Bleater so Lambert has to have an animal companion too.

5 hours ago i might have thought of a witty thing to go with the drawing but nah

never enough

Check out this gorgeous and adorable image by misscuddly_arts  on Instagram! Isn’t it cute?  I adore the way Bleats has her tongue out and the detail on Eskel is wonderful. :)

Everyone: Eskel has a secret lover on the Path.

Me: Eskel has an army of little old ladies who adore him, because he's polite, kind and does everything he can to help out.

He takes their contracts. They vary from tending to the herb garden, collecting their medicine from the apothecary a town over and rescuing Mr Tibbles from a nekker. Everything a grandson might do. Most of them have lost their grandchildren to plague, famine and war.

In return, they feed him pie, knit him glove inserts and socks, and send him away with food parcels (and a lot of juicy gossip). He's given up trying to refuse their food, because he knows it empowers them to pay him in the only way they can.

Lambert: When are you going to feed that goat to a forktail?

Eskel: I can't. The Grey Army ask about her every time I visit.

Lambert, thinking this is a new militia or something: The what now?

Eskel: Long story.

Later, Lambert drags it out of Eskel that he has this network of knitters and feeders throughout the Continent (and they all now know about the goat, because they have a system of communication as yet unfathomable to man).
