Us. Doing stuff. Together.
The Groom
He is an engineer who thinks he’s a scientist …
But is confused by this simple medieval astrolabe.
Loves to travel.
Totally gets the flowers. We Buds.
He will stick his fingers in things, whether appropriate …
… questionable.
… or downright rude.
And sometimes things go wrong.
Has a somewhat problematic relationship with kitties.
