Ha!  Fantastic as usual! 

Both of them are so expressive!  You really are a master of showing so much without words.  Arcis's distaste for dangling about, and Tarynn's familiar looks of pain.  And Tarynn's look in the last panel!  

Tarynn really needs to work on her poker face though.  Arcis is definitely catching on that she's got an alternate motive, or is at least up to something.  I'm very curious about how this will play out from here!

Thank you very much! Yes given how little she talks to anyone Tarynn doesn't have much practice at being deceptive. Unlucky for her!

Time for a deception check.    You are so screwed, Tarynn. Lol

"Dangly jewelry" made me laugh pretty hard. She has no clue how close to dying she came! Being jewelry can be a godsend. XD

haha that last line of expression just killed me XD You manage to tell so much with just the faces ! It makes me think I should really try harder in my own work to have more expressive faces

Haha I think your work is already plenty expressive in your style But thank you!

And she doesn't even ask how Tarynn is after that. That girl has the patience and self-restraint of a saint. Well, rather, she has the desperate need to maintain a facade and be accepted, but it amounts to the same thing.

Heh, her sudden change from a rare (awkward) smile to... that face at the end!

Yes very much so the latter, in any other circumstances this would have descended into a bitter screaming match long ago!

SimonLorimer In reply to GoldGecko [2019-02-09 11:16:42 +0000 UTC]

She is trying to subtly gleam information about where Arcis's tribe is based so she can drop the facade and return her there in hopes of a reward. But her cover is nearly blown!

What do we have here? a cool guy drawing a cool comic!?


Man I just love how you do your comics, the detailed but not overpowering backgrounds, the angles, and of course THOSE FACES OMFG


Love it, love every bit of it super excited for the next page!

Artistically very well done as usual. I really like the way you can achieve such depth with such a limited color palette. Nothings seems at all cartoony, but rather very 3-dimentional. Facial expressions and poses (especially the last frame) are also top-notch, and the story really keeps me hanging. And of course: "What made the branch break? A squirrel?" hahaha.


I will, however, admit to a noobish lack of knowledge - I went back through all of this series, and the location of the tribe being near a big (unnamed) waterfall was all I found. Annnd I'm clueless. Chordoni Waterfalls? Or is there another big one? Does she have a bad history with Vivian? Or are we not meant to know this yet? If it's a surprise, that's fine. I just wanted to make sure it's not a bit of history that I slept through in my "Felarya 101" class.

Thank you mate! And don't worry - the Lauos tribe is not supposed to be widely known of in Felarya, being rather introspective and reclusive. I don't picture it being near Chordoni, instead thinking that there must be many other waterfalls in Felarya and to a human even a medium-sized one would appear ferocious and large!

...God damnit man.  How many times are you trying to kill me with these faces!?!? That last panel.... just god damn man XD.  Still, while Tarynn is not exactly subtle about her questioning (and persistent heh) to arouse suspicion...the fact Arcis keeps avoiding it sure isn't helping alleviate suspicions towards that either.
