Evie and Aly in the shower - Thank you gift (Patreon)

We've got so many wonderfully creative and talented Rangers in our ranks, but there's an individual who goes so far above and beyond to help me that words aren't enough to say thank you.

Out of the kindess of her heart KatieD has written stories to accompany the last 2 AHMT posts - this week's (AHMT #130) being extra special as neither of us knew anything about the Harry Potter universe. 

After completing the artwork for AHMT #130, I asked the stream chat what I should do with the remaining time and resoundingly they agreed with me that I should draw something to thank KatieD! Being that selfless person, she said something with Alynnya. I listened... but also didn't listen and in the space of about 45 minutes I drew this pic of her latest character creation Evie with Alynnya enjoying a nice hot shower ;)

Let this gift stand as a thank you to a fantastic friend and collaborator AND as a message to you all - I reward those who help me! ;)

Enjoy!

Update: KatieD has also written this vignette to accompany it 

"Single Lodgings" by KatieD

 At the end of our third day traveling together, Alynnya and I came to a tiny village with a rundown inn.  The thought of sleeping in beds instead of on the ground outweighed any distaste about the quality of the inn. The thought of a hot bath was also appealing. The journey so far had been hot and dry. My skin was caked with grime from the dusty road, mud from chasing our quarry through a bog, and the entrails of whatever that tentacle-creature that grabbed Aly was.   

“I’m sorry, ladies, I only have one room left with a single bed,” the inkeeper said with a suspicious leer.   

“That’s okay, we’ll make it work!” piped up Aly.  Then, blushing, she looked up at me.  “If that’s ok with you, Evie,” she added with an adorable nibble at her lip.

‘Aly, you little minx,’ I thought to myself.  I grinned and winked down at her.  I looked back to the inkeeper.

“Yes, that will do.  But you have hot water for baths, right?”

“Ooohhh.  So sorry, ladies.”  His grin looked all the more suspicious now.

“That room only has a shower.  And the barrel only holds enough hot water for one shower.”

I looked back down at Aly and winked again.  “That’s okay, we’ll make it work.”
