    No, Frigg, she knows that doesn’t do it, thanks to some… “Experimentation.”

    Is Frigg a little jealous that Byron repeatedly is getting the shaft right now? She is a woman who likes to be left a quiver herself sometimes. She could always shoot over to Best before, but he’s already shot away.

    Not like Frigg to balk at the idea of getting on people’s nerves some more. Is she shocked at the thought of “testing suppressants? Was it the reaction to “Sucky sucky” that threw her?

      Actually, looking at the last panel, I think it’s because gravedust has grabbed her ass appraisingly. “B+, would grope again.”

      I can’t unsee it now. And neither can any of you!

        Syr will do science to anything. Tying her bf to a pole with heavy chains? Science. Beating him senseless? Science. Shooting him with potentially lethal projectiles? Science.

        Frygg almost gave Syr a reason to do science to her. She should be very worried.

    Looks like Frigg just wants to get to the root of the problem, but does can Gravedust discover if the pen is mightier than the arrow? Perhaps he can cock another one into his bow, but they might need a ballgag for Byron next time.

      Perhaps, but I suspect Byron is worried about getting tied down with Syr, and she doesn’t want to feel like a ball-and-chain. Frigg doesn’t understand the need for subtlety, though – she always felt being brash was the Best way – so Gravedust feels the need to point it out to her with some kind of flashing neon arrow. And everyone is probably really tense at the moment trying to nock together a solution for Byron’s lack of control.

    I though Byron would break away from his chains at some point and attack Syr’Nj O_o Guess I’m always expecting things going suddenly dark. And please ignore the little voice in your head saying “that still can happen next page”.

    I’m really enjoying to see Syr’Nj as a leader. We always knew she had a strong personality, but there’s a lot of difference between her in the beggining and now.
