Gentle.
My friend, Burch, lowers herself down to the ground with a slow, gentle demeanor that is far different from the brash recklessness of her younger days.
It seems that in her years, she has practiced well th...

“So what’s with all of the skulls?” asks Rhine, looking at the frozen skull that Sockel has placed beneath a glass bowl from the kitchen for now, since they don’t really have anything better to secure it with until the vault is done.
