AAaA Syr’Nj 3
This is a refreshing look at a side of Syr’Nj and Fr’Nj’s dynamic that we didn’t get to see very much otherwise! Some readers thought we were seeing the influence of Fr’Nj hanging out with the team’s more impish members (whom I guess would be Bandit and sometimes Rachel, because Frigg still doesn’t and never will like her that much).
I think this is more the pleasure of reverting to your younger self around those who know you best: even though Fr’Nj is all “ha ha you’re an old lady now,” this seems like a snapshot of how they might’ve acted after Syr’Nj had outgrown certain childish things and Fr’Nj was still reveling in them. Some of you with family bonds like this will know what I’m talking about.
Normally, the weight of both their responsibilities prevents this kind of play. As with Penk, being outside of continuity means Fr’Nj doesn’t have to worry about how others might see her.
(Naror’Nj and Faereksch’Nj are not credited ’cause that’s not them in panels 3 and 4. Syr’Nj was never blonde, even as a baby, and she doesn’t think of her own experiences when she’s talking about generalities.)
But… When Syr’Nj was born her family wasn’t Eldest.
Naror’Nj only beacame Eldest years later, and Fr’Nj was already born by that time.
This is a fair point, and the only way I can make sense of it is that “an Eldest family” would better be described as “one of the elder families” (since otherwise, you’d think she’d use “the,” not “an”). Wood elves aren’t immune to aristocracy.
It never really hit me how gray Syr’Nj’s hair is compared to Fr’Nj until this strip. she is a lot older
How old is that baby? Is it really ok to hold it like that?
That’s what you’re worried about, more than the fact that they’re giving a newborn baby implants?
