Bk1: Ch2: Pg16
Maeye: Hello?
Zenlan: Aye. Come in out of the storm and I welcome you to the Blue Heron. How may I...
2b.
Zenlan: By the gods!
Zenlan: Are you ladies all right?
3a.
Maeye: Yes, we are all right. We were... attacked on the road, but we managed to escape.
Zenlan: Attacked! Was it bandits? Beasts? Are you injured?
Maeye: I'd be happy to tell you all about it, but do you think we could discuss this all a bit later? We really need some rest.
3b.
Zenlan: Of course, of course. Come in out of the cold and warm yourselves. I'll have that fire blazing in no time at all.
Maeye: There's no need, really. Just two nice rooms will be fine.
Zenlan: Of course, lass. Can I cook you a meal? Perhaps some beef and barley stew?
4a.
Maeye: Perhaps tomorrow. A hot bath and a warm, soft bed is about all I can think of right now.
4c.
Maeye: Will this cover everything?
Zenlan: Lass, for three silvers I will treat you like royalty.
5a.
Zenlan: Just head to the top of the stairs there and you can take the two rooms on the left. I will be right up with hot water for your baths.
Maeye: Would you happen to have any clothes that we could buy?
Zenlan: Ladies clothes? No. But there is a robe in each room. You are welcome to those.
Maeye: OK. That will have to do for now.
Zenlan: My name is Zenlan. Just holler if you need anything at all.
Maeye: Thank you. Zenlan.
5b.
Arayanna: Thank you so much for caring for me and for getting us here safely.
Maeye: Are you OK?
Arayanna: Yes. I just need some rest. I will be fine.
Maeye: OK. I will be right next door if you need anything.
6a.
Arayanna: Maeye.
Maeye: Yes, Aray?
Arayanna: Despite how crazy everything has been the last couple of days, I am really glad that we met.
Maeye: I am too.
Arayanna: Good night, Maeye. I will see you in the morning.
Maeye: Looking forward to it. Sleep well, my friend.
Boo Hiss Cop-Out!!! Two rooms??? They need to be in one room for several reasons besides the obvious security two women traveling alone strange Inn slave bait.
Yea. The one room/two room debate raged for several days in my mind. As much as I want to have the ladies jump straight into loving loveliness, I am trying to put in a reasonable amount of relationship development before they fall in the sack together.
But never fear. The two room issue will be remedied soon. So how to you put two lovely ladies in a bed together before they are ready? We have our methods. Oh yes….we do.
Can think of one or two: the rooms are very cold, or one or both of the ladies has a nightmare
Patience: they have only just met, and don’t know if they try anything it would be recipricated or rebuffed
I am not sure if I should be mad or proud that you use my name…oh well it good page and all. Well we hope you shall continue with those great pages.
I hope you are not mad. I will change if you like.
So back to the onamonapia question – how was the use on this page? Too much? Not enough? I originally had a “CREAK” when they were walking up the stairs, but took that one out.
Seemed the right amount for what was happening
Aray looks so lost and scared, but it’s probably just because she doesn’t want to be noticed for her colouring and ears
Not sure why Mae even contemplated going for the knife, he has not given any indication that he is anything other than a concerned innkeeper
I am glad that you could tell from the panel that she was contemplating going for the knife, or at least it appeared that way. I just threw that in there for fun. If you think about it, we’ve only witnessed a little bit more than a day in these ladies’ lives. Who knows what they are really like. Maeye could be a homicidal maniac for all we know. Or maybe she just hates inn keepers. Or maybe Zenlan is really her natural father who used to abuse her and now, upon seeing him for the first time in many years, she decides to let some air out of his belly. I guess the point is, a little harmless misdirection and mystery can be fun. 🙂
Can understand why she would have gone for it (it has been no more than 2 days since she was attacked by those Minox things, and lost a couple members of her family, some dead, 2 stolen)
Hasen’t the rain washed the blood stains off their shin yet?
It’s really really sticky blood. Really sticky.
Depends on how well the cloaks covered them
Ok. So I got a little lazy there. It’ll come off on the next page, though…and in a much more entertaining way than just having the rain wash it off.
Don’t beat up on yourself: it does look slightly rain-washed
I’m glad they met too, else I’m reading OOTS and that doesnt have boobs.
Everything is better with boobs. Even a tax audit would be tolerable if it came with boobs.
Just as long as they are not big meaty man boobs! 😮
