Description
0.5 mechanical pencil on light-weight paper.More new stuff! Another character for Livi's countess story. You can't have a story such as this without a constable!
Other than that, not much to say about him just now. I just felt like posting some masculinity.

And "cops" came from the very large copper buttons on the tunic. First "coppers" then shortened to "cops".
