I’ve seen some painful things. Most recently doing some 50 cal training, I was shown what happened to a guy’s hand when he tried to use a 50 cal round as a hammer. Between that guy and Penk, my sympathy’s with the troll.
Or is that how dwarves express love? Hell, I kind of wonder whether “trusted friend” might be a intended to be a huge compliment given their different species and their placement in a cobbled together army that is united only by mutual hate.
If it is, that opportunity was blown as soon as the song that eventually settled into my head continued with “no matter how they toss the dice, it had to be…”
Love is easy for trolls, their hearts always regenerate…

Unless they’re burned.
Is that why trolls avoid spicy food? They don’t want to get heartburn?
The internet disagrees
So… if those dwarf writings on leadership were only borrowed, does that mean Magda’ll be needing ’em back in a few days?
Aw, poor Penk. You can hear his heart break.
And so the shipping begins…
*looks back from the ship across the ocean*
Oh… I’m sorry, was I supposed to wait?
I mean, only some weirdo right? Right?
…
right
Penk just got friend zoned so hard Tectonicus felt it.
Did he or is she simply trying to hide her secret cross-species crush?

I think it’s the former…although I wouldn’t have gotten it without the alt-text.
I gather that it’s rather innocuous and literal and that Penk is overthinking it.
Am I the only one who interpreted it as her saying she couldn’t come up with anything she felt was perfect but -had- been obsessing over it?
I dunno. My guess just feels right. Like Magda missed the hint completely and Penk is trying to play it cool.
Better to make it known, but………………
ow. :(
This just got too real.
Are the references to some popular Christmas songs in Panel 2 deliberate?
If it is, that opportunity was blown as soon as the song that eventually settled into my head continued with “no matter how they toss the dice, it had to be…”
No, don’t act hesitant! Press in with confidence! Don’t be like Dr. Horrible and blow it!
Even if he does hesitate, it’ll only cost him a penny.
This just in: Guilded Age writers hate romance
As a fellow lover of dwarves, especially ones with earth powers, I’m really feeling for Penk right now.
Gonna need to put the regeneration into overdrive for that one.
Ouch. Poor Penk. However, now I can’t help but try to imagine what a troll/dwarf hybrid would look like. Anyone else got any ideas on that?
Well…
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH THEY MUST NEVER MATE!!!!
Poor Penk, ground all that faction and found the unlocked content was The Friends one.
Thank you for that…firehead stone thing. And now I’ll tell you how to do your job.
It’s Just (just) a little crush (crush), it’s not like I faint every time we touch.
Man, he doesn’t have much luck with the ladies does he?
Dwarven Leadership Rule 1: No romance in the ranks (underlined several times in charcoal)
Should’ve given me more time to get gifts!
“Me and you
And you and me
No matter how they tossed the dice
It had to be
The only one for me is you
And you for me
So happy together”
I see what you did there Penk.
Friends theme song playing in head now.
Someone’s just been friend-zoned…
Traal-la-la-la-la-la, Traal-la-la-la!
