The Palace Guard is DONE!
yipee!! This is very satisfying, to have a second story up and complete this year, even if the dangly bits I'm leaving unresolved are beginning to accumulate like dust bunnies under the bed.
But, a burning question. Several reviewers asked as to the species of the physician. I have three characters floating around in these stories, with actual name and species unidentified:
The General
Cook
The Physician
We now know that Cook can lob cabbages with fair accuracy. We know the Physician is old and had an unhealthy fascination with primate mating and bonding systems. So, what species is the Physician? I figure he needs to have paws for grasping and that immediately limits us pretty much to mustelids, rodents, and a few others. My two top contenders:
A raccoon
A porcupine
Admit it, a porcupine physician is pretty darn amusing, yeah?
