  • Kero-kero !

    A rare creature : the flowered emerald gupta. Feeds on solar energy and water.
    NOT a pokemon. Very friendly but extremely poisonous. Better to leave it alone.

    EDIT : This drawing is a part of a two-sided piece on words that can heal or hurt. I should have begun by the healing first. Sorry if I involuntarily raised some flags, everything is quite fine, I assure you. 

  • You cut my tree

    Why did you cut my tree ?
    It was mine. I planted it.
    I watched it grows.
    You cut it.
    I will cut too
    I will cut you.

  • Should I be worried ?

  • Just a maid, Ep.15 : Cooking

    Josephine is good at cleaning. Too good, in fact. The floor has never been so free of dust, spots, twigs, stranded leaves, carpets and cats. Her constant oozing melted the varnishes all around and even her recognize that eating the laundry was a mistake.  

    So now she’s in charge of cooking. She’s very fast at it, working with all of her hearths. The quality had dropped a little but service is quite remarkable.

    It was only natural to grant her the position of chief since she ate the last cook.
