    St. Cloud's inner circle grow up and into themselves.

    Summary

    This is for Just Ann Now because I always owe her one. I don't know if it meets any prompts she has ever given me. But there is also always room for a nude of Richard. (Inspired by Ellen Kushner's wonderful world of Swordspoint, which belongs entirely to her.) Also includes a tasteful picture of a naked swordsman--just me, playing with Gimp and a stock photo.
