You could do that, but it would be a shame not to tick Touchstone. I wouldn't call the diagonal mossy and manky, I'd call it a bit balancy, a bit delicate, and a bit character-building for a bumbly grade 14 leader. When successfully negotiated, she or he could have a quiet smile and consider themself a bit less bumbly. |
